Is anyone else having a problem with the C.B.Gitty web site. It is so slow for me that the browser(google) times out. I have no problems with any other sites including GBN.

I too have been having problems for at least a week or so. Constantly get page timeouts, page not available failures. The front page loads fine. The problems start when I start to search for products and/or bring up specific product pages.

Hi Jason, that's exactly the same as my experience. If you are using a Mac then it is probably the same issue. A friend told me that it could possibly be a "flashplayer" issue that is causing the problem. I checked online and found a discussion on this topic here http://chris.pirillo.com/flash-player-problems-in-mac-os-x/ but have not had time to follow it up yet. I just used my wife's PC to get around it for now. I would be interested if you do find that the fix given in the discussion works though. Thanks for the reply and good luck.

Alas, I can't attribute the issues to Mac vs PC. I have the problem both at home (Macbook Air) and at work (PC).

Me as well, both Mac and Firefox. It seems very hit-and-miss. It seems to be getting worse in the last 2 weeks. I don't have trouble with any other site.
I was just able to access the site on my iPad from here in Saudi Arabia. It loaded a tad slow at first, but that's common with my Internet service. It's not an Apple problem, because it loads on our Mac as well.
Thanks for the reply, I tried clearing the cache on my mac as suggested but still have the same issue. I tried loading the site on my ipad but google timed out on that also. I am using Cox as my service provider and using there supplied wireless router. To eliminate that potential cause I will try logging on to a different server sometime today and report the results.
OK I had another thought, I just tried my wife's PC and there was no problem, the site came up very quickly, it's not a server/wireless router problem. It appears to be a problem with the apple platform for some reason which is beyond me. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be the case?
I have had a couple of people report this, but for the life of me I can't reproduce it. I have tried multiple browsers and versions, different computers, etc, and the site always comes right up. I sure would like to get to the bottom of it though.

For what it's worth, it works fine on an Android tablet...
