02GF74 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I cannot reach this forum via dial up? I see the progress bar in lower right corner (Explorer) move a little bit then after 5 mins error; site unavailble or some such error. I used to be able to reach it about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Not sure if it is just me who has this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Morning O2. Whether you are dial-up or BB shouldn't make any difference to accessing this site - just how quickly it does it possibly. Dial up is generally just a slower connection speed of those that are available at present. Could you maybe pedal a bit faster? Sorry, wish I could be more help. Les.

Gresh Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 What's dial-up? Had that once, but even the middle-of-nowhere, Lincs has Broadband now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I use dialup at home all the time, no BB here, and our connection at work is a 64K (so similar speed) shared between about 20 computers (which is why I do all mine before anybody else gets to work, like now). Works for me, though downloading Read.jpg can take a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkieB Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 This is one of the quickest sites I have ever seen, at 56K: ~5-15 sec to load a page without photos. Could be your ISP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 This is one of the quickest sites I have ever seen, at 56K: ~5-15 sec to load a page without photos. Could be your ISP? Even works on my posh new mobile - though it's best to switch to the Lo-Fi version (link at bottom of every page). Get's rid of certain members' enormous avatars, among other things... It's also a much easier layout to use on a small screen. O2GF74 - if you're having trouble with a slow connection, you might want to try the Lo-Fi version. You can't post from it but it's very 'light' for reading. 'Fraid it sounds like you've just got a pants internet connection - next time it's playing up, open a command prompt and type: tracert forums.lr4x4.com then copy and paste the output into a PM to me and I'll see if I can spot where the problem is.
