Is it me?

This "new" Caravan Club website seems to be so much slower than the previous one.When looking for a C.L. it seems to take forever to navigate to the site required.After clicking on England and going through all the counties ,then having to scroll through the full list to get to the town, before reaching the important site showing details and reviews.

The "old" system was much easier and quicker.

Or is it me?

We are on Virgin as well. Super fast with everything else, its this website, utterly useless at times. Won't let me post a reply on certain threads today, desperately slow when looking at CLs yesterday. I gave up and used the handbook in the end, just checking reviews on those we fancied.

I find 1st clearing my browsing data [cache/ history] on laptop helps sometimes when searching/booking sites or before posting on CT [which isn’t very often].   I seem to remember brue suggested doing this when I had a problem with avatar & it worked so it's become the norm for me to do this.

I agree with most of the criticism of the caravan  site. Make the CL sites easy to navigate they are not getting the attention they warrant, they are the one reason many people are members. Thev are not members to make the club a big profit. Better get off now or will be timed out!!

Site is ridiculously slow. Almost unusable. Booking is a real pain, thinking of packing in my membership.   Please CC sort this out

I think you'll find this post is over 3 years old and nothing is any different now so don't keep your fingers crossed. stopping your membership will make no difference to them so you just have to be like the rest of us and put up with it i'm affraid.

Well I'm not putting up with it.

I've been a member for 7 years and have only used a club site half a dozen times, mostly overnighters, for convenience when attending specific events. Living 20 mins from the ferry port I've always toured abroad many times every year for many weeks.

For the second time in a month I've nearly lost the will to live whilst trying to book sites in the Dorset area for the week after next but can only get a day here and a day there with blanks in between, most spaces are not where I want to be. Hopeless. I don't like pre-planning and defining my route according to where there are pitches. It's ten times worse with the constant long waits for pages to load. It's disgraceful service in this technological age. 

I've booked the ferry to France for Monday as for 25 years I've wandered at will 'over there' and stopped overnight wherever I come across an interesting place. I'd rather risk the virus than die of bored frustration at my laptop.

Unfortunately I renewed in August but it will have been for the last time.

Out of interest I'm finding the internet slow generally, obviously a lot going on in the world just now.

Thats your machine or service provider, the internet is fine, honestly.

No, it's because our area is on a slower system than some and when there is extra demand it slows up. Our nearest fibre cabinet is in another village and we're on copper wires from that point. So a slow club web site is even slower on our system where buffering is a frequent occurence.
