Difficulty accessing the website

Is it because I am in the UK, or even is it just me, but is anyone else having recent difficulty accessing the forum? More than half the time, I click on a link and it times out before the page comes up, giving a message "This page cannot be displayed". I may have to refresh the page several times before it actually loads. I've given up trying to compose a post directly now, as I've lost several and wasted a lot of time. I now compose them in Notepad and copy it into the message box on the web page so that I still have a copy if I lose it when it tries and fails to submit it.
I am using Windows 8.1 with IE11 - I wish I wasn't, but my machine forcefully upgraded me from Windows 8 with IE10 without any means of stopping it.
BTW This is the second attempt at submission - the first failed as described.

It is working great from Florida, but I was having that trouble a while ago. Have you cleared your cookies and restarted you router?

I have had this happen once or twice recently, but not enough to suspect that there is a problem with the server.

I had this happen frequently a couple of years ago with the TGB web site for WMC (
www.TheGreenButton.tv), and got into the habit of composing my reply, and then copying it to the clip board before clicking the "Preview" button. That way, if the server failed to respond, I could copy the clip board to a text file for resubmission later. TGB moved to a different hosting service, and since then I have not had any problems with TGB. I guess that some hosting services sometimes have too much traffic.

Yes, I am agree to your decision. all times traffic not come by backlinks , if it has bad hosting. so hosting is an imprtant things for website traffic.
