Is it my imagination or has this website slowed down since it was sold?

 

Not for me.

I had probs last week, but have since run a "Crap Cleaner" (Registry cleaner), on my computer, dumped IE7 and gone with Mozilla Firefox, run msconfig and unticked around 3/4 of the stuff that was starting up automatically, and have had no problems since.

Thanks to all who advised me off here.

Have to say its slowed down for me too.. might be heavy traffic

 

Smoetimes i cant even get to the site................. are new servers part of the selling of scoobynet?????

I think it needs them!!!!!!

 

adverts and pops do slow-down the website:

same as my employers' company website, it generates a lot of revenue as customers pay per click redirection to the financial company websites, who are my to argue with the $milllions in revenue it generates.

I do think many company PR facing corporate websites (ok for the sub-sites where the real money is generated) are far too cluttered as a result of fancy flash designs, they **** off and alienate potential customers. Too many former arty graphic artists now web designers and trying to create a work or art and not a functional easy to read website.

I don't want to give specific examples for legal reasons and not want to break any scoobynet house rules, but there are many large automobile companies who should sack their marketing and website designers!

 

I agree about some websites being far too clever for their own good.

My son, old before his time bless him, recently bought a Volvo.

I went to their website and just could not find the engine spec of the secondhand car he was buying unlike, say, the BMW site.

So I sent a message to the webmaster who replied with a very convoluted path to access the engine specs but when I got there it was the current range of new cars and not the engine I wanted!

So I pinged a mail back saying did it not cross his mind that if was so difficult to find what I wanted, the designers weren't up to the job of designing the site in the first place!

Whenever I have a website designed, I ask people who have never seen it to try and break it. When we have fixed the problems they expose, I ask a completely new group of people to do the same and we keep going until it is idiot proof.

The last person you ever let loose to test a website is anyone who knows anything about them!

 

Still slow.

 

Hey bros i swear i can see yoo having the longest name on Sn


Ameen tae thae n peace oot bro

 

I have found it slower too.then again theres a lot of people jumping onto the ebay scam page.
