Boats and outboards

[Into The Blue]

I'll Try Safair on the home PC but at work I have to stick to the IE browser - but in answer to "BOATS" I'm trying again tonight and every other web site is working fine but B&O just won't load. Was going to put my boat up for sale this weekend but might have to use one of the competitors.
Real shame it's the market leader but really has to improve load times - it just hangs, seemingly for minutes, actually it is minutes, 5 + to load pages and some just go blue and load nothing.

Think a bit more housekeeping is needed

Blimey!!, 2 min and 45 to load first page!!
who ever is doing your servers, Sack them!!
they are costing you thousands!
your site is basically down!!

Its verging on unusable for me, so, so slow.
I can't be bothered with it anymore.
I notice Pistonheads have a boats section now, its cracking site for cars.

It now says:

"Database Connection error encountered

This script cannot continue, terminating."

A new one on me.

I've been getting that all afternoon. Very very irritating.

It's only started doing that since 1830hrs today, prior to that it was okay.
Glad it's not just me then

boats and outboards so slow 4 mins to load up first page then just over 2mins per page after,its time to give up with b+o due to the fact you loose the will to live when your on the site (or trying to get on it)

Hi Guys,

I am as frustrated as you are with these problems, we have two new developers working on the problems and we are making headway, we have increased the CPU on the severs, purged the databases but we have a few more jobs to do, the site is working fine at times and struggling when we traffic at peak times.

Fingers crossed we should be running more smoothly again soon.
