PH has been having a good number of speed issues of late (oh the irony) with their servers as they run several, ie an ad server, forum server, database server etc. It can be slow and hang at times due to your browser pulling info from various places and their members aren't happy about it.

Keep trying, you'll get there in a bit

Might be worth trying the back door - Petrolheads

Simon's Welsh. Advising him to take the back door approach might have unforeseen consequences with the next sheep he encounters...................................

Hi Simon,

you could try pinging pistonheads open command window and type ping www.pistonheads.com

you should get a reply from 195.255.218.139 (as I imagine they are on there own server) I would expect though you wont get a reply as you cant get onto the site.

you could then try a trace on it by typing tracert www.pistonheads.com and seeing where it gets stuck.

If you desperately want to get on and want some advice on what you see from the trace and stuff I have just turned MSN on splashout@hotmail.co.uk

[Tentenths]

Try visiting via one of the internet proxy services such as

Clicky 1 (can be slow) or

Clicky 2
