Slow website

So did I Oneputt 

Seems faster this morning.  Are we to assume it was being worked on?

Your guess is as good as anyone's. No answers on a postcard but postage donations to..................... 😉

I also gave up even trying to read anything on here last night but did manage to post on this thread!

Consulation or not? 😉

We're on superfast fibre broadband and my travel kettle boils faster on low ampage sites than anything opens on this site at times, even if it appears not to be in slomo it's still the longest to respond of most sites I use 😢

Edit even hitting/touching the reply button is weird goes blue round the edge but doesn't grey out. Remember that improvement to stop additional posts? It takes a second hit to grey out and then respond. Perhaps it's reaching it's toddler defiant stage now it's 9 months old 😉. I hope it doesn't have to reach the age of majority 18/21 to really became a useful member of the Web world 😲😉

Yes, it was very slow last night, and kept just getting a 'page not available' .

Appears Ok this morning

Why use any website if it fails to come up to your requirements. 

 No point in continually grumbling on here. 

This website is what it is, accept that or use an alternative,

Frankly compared to other sites/forums this one is the clunkiest, and slow one there is.  I am amazed that the CC allows it to go on like it is as it can only give a very bad impression of the club (CC).

The other issue that needs early attention is the duplicated threads problem.  Posts just disappear in them. Its a bit like the black hole.

Come on management admit for once that it was a huge mistake revamping this forum in house.  If it had been put out to a professional website constructor it would have been light years ahead of this mess.

And in answer to Kennine I do,  I only look in on this one occasionally.  But in truth my criticisms are only in an effort to bring about improvement, i still have a great loyalty to the CC and that is what drives my complaints. They are not moaning for moaning's sake!

It seems to me that H.O. doesn't give a hoot whether folk use CT or not.

Why should they? Relatively few of the membership use it and I doubt that it plays any part in attracting new members.

Sadly Spriddler  you are quite correct. I gave up several months ago and moved over to another far better and much happier forum.  But then about a month ago I looked back in to this CC - Ct forum and was quite shocked at the obvious lack of member usage,- compared to a few years ago. Worse still this dreadful clunky thing we are using today has hardly progressed from its dreadful re launch.

Its a real shame.  The CC has always had the potential to be a real powerhouse from which the thoughts and progressive wishes of thousands of caravaners and Motorhomer's, could be made known . The CT Forum was in turn, the perfect  conduit through which those feelings of the members could have been made known to the management of the CC and also beyond..

But instead of that, the more active members on the forum began to detect a distinct lack of interest in the messages being conveyed, and so they began to drift away.  But then it was announced that there were major changes coming, and the drift away slowed down. - there was, they were told, a superb new CT Forum coming!

And then last November it arrived. Instead of the wonderful all new Forum that we were expecting, it turned out be this very dismal re vamp of the original Forum, but now with added faults and above all a Clunkier and at the same time slower system.

After a few months like many others I gave up and went somewhere else.  Nevertheless I have always hoped that the CC would see what was happening,  and as a result change again, this time using a professional site author.   But no there is no change, and so the Forum which could be so much better, remans as it is.

Sad, but there you are!

I only look in occasionally to see if anything has changed when I'm already at my laptop or sheltering indoors when rain interrupts my lawn mowing and I'm having a brew with 20 mins to kill.

Websites 10 yrs ago were faster, more stable and more user-friendly that the CT software and server. I also use a lively and positive motorhome website now rather than suffer the frustration of ploughing through the grey porridge on here, whether it's CT or the 'Search and Book' facility or just going through the 'snakes and ladders' routeing to return to previous pages.

I've just renewed my membership purely for access to the CL's which are incidentally an absolute pain to search on this site.

CT seems to be provided as a pressure relief valve and Trash can in which to file grumbles and save H.O. from being bothered with emails or phone calls. 

Very poor performance for a multi-million pound turnover company.

The website of my motorbike club (run by volunteers) with only 2500 members makes this CAMC website look like a Year 9's classroom effort. 

It's not just this execrable forum that is rubbish. Chatting to a CL owner, it is abundantly clear that the CAMC don't give a consignment of excrement about their CL network owners either. My guess is that the suits at Grinstead Towers think that the future is pods, lodges and statics. We, the membership, are a mere inconvenience.
