Re: Are you having problems with the BE site please?
Here is an update
Friday 2pm NZ time
I'm hoping that it will solve the problems for us all. Let's see what tonight brings.
I found the site to be reasonable during the NZ day yesterday but come the late evening & night , the site pages simply hung and at one point I was unable to access the site at all. I did manage to get on at one point, quite late, but the site was way too slow so I logged off.
Today, so far, the speeds seem fine. 14.10pm NZ time

Site performance --after 12th June 2008
As I've noted HERE, we've made some relatively drastic changes to the site's server architecture today.
I'm starting THIS THREAD IN SITE FEEDBACK as a place for your tech feedback subsequent to these changes, as I believe a new thread will help us filter out issues related to the former setup.
Thanks to all of you who take the time to clue us in as to how the server is performing in your part of the world.

Not sure if this is to do with the ongoing issues BEV, but it's being very slow uploading my replies, to the point that I click 'submit' again and then it tells me that there is a new reply, which is mine.

Re: Are you having problems with the BE site please?
It seems the Wiki is off-line at the present time.
SEARCH is also not working correctly.
Posts can seem to 'hang but if you open a new tab the post will be entered and there on the thread
Some people are not receiving their email notifications for threads they have subscribed to, or for PMs.
I believe the IB tech team are currently monitoring .

It wasn't me J19fmm. It was the IB tech team .All we can do is continue to flag the problems.
There still appears to be problems with page hang following a post and the search function is not working correctly.
Todays announcement from IB.
Although dated 17th June , it appeared 18th June NZ time.
