OK it is well known i'm a complete buffon when it comes to IT (well not just IT, but however...............)

This is not a dig at the Webteam who have no doubt worked very hard to get the new site up and running. I prefer vbulletin........but the access problem is merde.

I've heard comment its down to the volume of users, but i also lurk on another site for wanna be Charley Boremans who want to wander round the world on bikes.

It is not a club and therefore not funded by subscription, does not seem to be funded by advertising, yet on average has at least 500 active users logged, and frequently more, yet it never crashes, or never has access problems, fatal errors etc.

Whats the difference or current problem with getting onto the site, or getting messages saying server too busy? Is it hosted in some big wonderfull hi tech place or in a garden shed.

This is not a snidey dig, its a genuine question from someone who has problems just turning a computer on, and has been known to throw a computer across the room and jump up and down on it. That produced a fatal error

I'm sure i'm not the only village idiot who wants to know, but too embarrased to ask.
