Is this site really slow just now?

I thought it was just me, it had been a nightmare using the Android mobile app today!

[wheredidiputit]

I thought it was me.

It seems very slow today.

[Neitheronethingortheother]

me too :(

[ShadowFall]

Slow for me as well.

[SpiritOfTheBuskersCat]

yup, guessing its from all the extra traffic from twitter. #penisbeaker will have directed a lot of people our way

[OneStepCloser]

Yep, slow here as well. DS home sick and Im stuck on the sofa with him, I need a fast MN

[JustBecauseICan]

Ha! I was just running a scan to see if there was some monsteroony inside my computer!

It will be one of those bastarding "this script is......" doing my head in

[Ragwort]

Me too - what's going on?

[LadyBeagleEyes]

Yup, me too. It's taking ages to post a message and also to get on to the pages.

[TEErickOrTEEreat]

It's because of the Penis in a Beaker thread that's all over Twitter FB and the media! Extra hits.

[AmyMumsnet]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the slow site today - we're suffering over here at MNHQ too.

Tech are on the case, so hopefully the site will recover soon.

[bigwellylittlewelly]

I can't even post or load pages

[bigwellylittlewelly]

The words 'penis', 'downtime' and 'go slow' could doubtless become a witty thread in its own right

[ViviPru]

I wondered why on earth MN was getting mentions in social spheres of mine far removed from these shores. I didn't realise Penis Beaker had gone viral....

[TEErickOrTEEreat]

It has indeed, Vivi.

[JugglingFromHereToThere]

Yeh, even I might give up just for this afternoon

[SinisterSal]

There's no end to the trouble penises in beakers cause.

[mummylin2495]

Just came on to post the same thing, glad it's not my iPad going wrong !!!

[ouryve]

I think the penis dunking thread might have overwhelmed the hamsters that power the servers.

[Methe]

It's been terrible for me for weeks :( every other reload promps a 'mumsnet is offline' type message.

[garlicvampire]

I may have to do Real Life for a while instead [wibble]

[FruOla]

Oh FFS, I tried to post about 10 minutes ago.

I was trying to say that, in addition to the the usual slowness, today is jeffing awful - I guess due to the penis dunking thread.

Whether this post actually makes it onto this thread, I have no idea.

I'm going now.

MNHQ, you will be responsible if I start ordering expensive stuff online - OKAY?

[WorraLiberty]

It's been ridiculous for the last few hours.

[DoItTooJulia]

Yeah. It's bloody annoying. I'm signing off for the night, it's so crap!

[chickydoo]

Can't connect on my ipad at all???
Is something wrong with the APP?
