Here's a tip. It doesn't always work, but it sometimes helps!

If you're getting errors, or are unable to connect, try using the www1 and www2 servers.

So, in other words...

Instead of using http://www.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=729

go to
http://www1.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=729

or this
http://www2.skyscrapercity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=729

what's happened to the old threads? We used to have 10-15 pages of London threads which seem to have disappeared!!!! Are we getting them back? I spent ages taking photos and collecting renders for the Moorgate / Cheapside thread!!!

Grrrr.

Scroll to the bottom of the page (of the London forum), and there should be some 'Display Options'.

One of the options is to 'Show Threads from the Last Month'. Change it to 'Show Threads from the beginning.

It may be me, but this site is so unpredicable now, I sometimes even give it a miss? I can spend a day trying to just log on, never mind read anything

Naw - its easy. Look down the list and 'shift click' each of the topics that look interesting to load them into a new window. Go get a cup of tea, mow the lawn and by the time its done the pages may have loaded.

I wonder when, or if, everyone will return. It's been very quiet since the "big crash".

Well, the server is lightning fast this morning. Looks like it might finally be fixed (?).

If less people use it, maybe it will get faster permanently

Here's another thing... and I know most people will already know about this - but for those who don't, we actually have a sister website called SkyscraperPage. So if SSC is down for any reason you can go there instead. Here's the URL for the European section:
