This week has been a right royal pain in the rear. On three days I couldn't get on for hours at a time. Today I couldn't get on for over 5 hours checking periodically with absolutely no joy. I cleared my browser cache, cleared my DNS cache in case there was a DNS change/issue nothing worked.
At other times this week when I was able to connect to the forums, I have got server errors, timeouts, server possibly busy, but worst of all when you get on and it is soooo slow it was like watching paint dry and virtually unworkable.
Since the forums having been moved to an independent server which was supposed to improve speed which generally it did, but this week has been the pits. No problem connecting to avast.com or the download servers, but no joy with forum.avast.com.
