I was trying to find Wink of an Eye from Star Trek but could only get this alternative version is quite funny https://youtu.be/Twm1O0vcw7c
Very Saturday Night live style. Backing to coring my soap and lifting my insoles in my trainers will give the dirty diapers a miss.
UPDATE: [16:26] I ran a check with Chrome Developer Tools on the landingpage.

Nine days and this forum is still so slow I've become a Senior Citizen twice over!! What is the problem and who is dealing with it?

All of our concerns about the site's massive slow-down does at least underscore the value and enjoyment that we all get from this forum----when it isn't working like we are used to, it definitely is frustrating....
The fact that it is free to all of us is certainly greatly appreciated. Hopefully, Doug/Brad and tech team are able to get things back to normal soon.

Now it appears to be stable...a VAST improvement over the past few days when it would take forever to even load the first page. Then when you went to select a particular forum page it would simply stop & no amount of waiting would see the page I had clicked on appear.
So am very pleasantly surprised today so thanks to whomever has sorted out what ailed the site...WELL DONE
