It has already been pointed that the problem happens mostly for us overseas. Some shark biting at the big cable down below in the depths of the Atlantic I'd say.

It happens to me here too.

To get the thread took well over a minute, and it said:

Page created in 51.152 seconds with 26 queries.

Getting the post box up took at least another minute and said

Page created in 21.676 seconds with 15 queries.

i.e. the time it says does not include everything (possibly electrons crossing the Atlantic are not included

A new problem: when I tried to check two threads, I got this result:
An Error Has Occurred!
The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.
The first was a Rookie puzzle. I know I don't have the right to post in those, but just seeing them ?
The second was a solved puzzle, and one I had started.
Strange, and new to me.
As for the problem that Allan L reports in the Photo index thread (you attach 12 pictures and only 2 make it) it's new to me also.

If you click a topic in mid-move or mid merge, you might encounter that error. I'm guessing you might have been trying to access the Lightburn Zeta puzzles (plural) which I merged a little while ago.

I'm not sure what's up with the picture posting, other than the recent slowing we've seen. This happened before, and left as mysteriously as it appeared. If you, Allan or anyone else wants to e-mail or PM me the pictures you would like to post, I'd be happy to load them to the server for you, and give the links to cut and paste into your posts.

Thanks for the offer, but to me the thing this site has that most don't is the facility to post pictures directly, rather than as links to somewhere they are already mounted.
That is excellent when it works and correspondingly infuriating when it does not.

Presumably what Ray B. and I have also been on about, i.e. text between photos, can only be done using links to somewhere else - that's if I have understood what I found when analysing the puzzle index postings.

[Ray B.]

You're right about the Zeta, Otto.
As for picture posting, I'll manage like Allan, until better times. I also appreciate the fact than you can add them directly.
