I originally raised the issue of our Forum speed and have read some of the comments thereafter. I am not sure this is entirely relevant to Forum speed, so have moved this comment and posted here in General...... Whilst I agree that social media is definitely the 'in' place to post online, I do not a...

I enjoy this forum and as a learner it gives me an opportunity to educate myself in matters 'Classic Motorboating'. I look nearly everyday, but feel as if I am now persevering, which I am not sure is how it should be. Perhaps that's why the number of posts seems to have dropped off in the last few m...

https://www.facebook.com/dunlaoghairemarina/videos/1471663689527395/ I was sent this by a friend who tows a rear engined car, but it's essentially a lab test showing the results of subtle changes in trailer weight distribution for outboards etc. I am not on Facebook but it worked and I watched it on...

I just posted it for a bit of fun......the whole leisure fleet was taken out of the water and put up on blocks in the yard early/mid 80's. They are mostly still there and just as they were laid up. They are well gone though and would require a lot of enthusiasm and commitment as can be seen on the s...

There are a few on fleebay, but shipping from States at $70 makes it unviable. Plus some on fleebay in UK...

Thanks guys that's great. Interestingly I called into an outboard workshop today and they were painting a small cruiser by brush. When I asked, they told me they were using International Toplac!

I have noticed this slowing down for a whole, which is why I posted. Definitely a significant snag somewhere. It's taken me 6 minutes to login in and post this.

And yes posts have slowed...it's verging on unusable in this state.

I'm using an IPAD, but same on PC when I checked.

Has anybody else noticed a marked slowing down on this forum. Just getting in is slow, then page changes, uploading etc?
