Are the gremlins getting in again?

For the last couple of days TSP has been running slowly again and I've had timed out error messages, but by clicking again the required page has opened OK.

This morning I had a different error, which I took a screen shot of:
  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

Does this mean anything to the gurus?  @Acorn  @Mr Twingo

eta - on my screen only the top half of the screen shot is displaying.

I haven't had any problems with speed, but I did get this error message as I was trying to access this thread, funnily enough.

If it carries on we will have to contact the webhost and ask what is happening.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Thanks for posting this @BrendaP .

TSP has been running slow for me for a couple of days, but I thought it was my PC - it isn't so bad on my phone.

Loading 'likes' is taking ages, and sometimes ends with the message that I have already given a 'like', although the 'like' is clearly still there!

TSP is really slow for me as well. Also the 'like' button takes ages to load.
I've also had the timed out message as well.
I went on the 'down for everyone or just me' site and it said it was everyone .
So many beers, so little time.

The pages have been slow to load at times for me over the past few days, but I've not had problems with likes or the like button. However, I use the "Curve" theme not the standard  TSP theme. Curve seems to have few graphics and be more text based which might explain the lack of a problem with the likes.

I'm 10th in the queue to speak to the webhost, having taken 10 minutes to get to the stage where they told me what number I was.  Should have had my lunch first.

There is no question that there is a problem here, but I have also been having problems with other websites, including Ebay.   ><

Has been slow for a few days but I thought it was me, odd web pages thrown up etc, maybe we've been hacked?
