Initially didn't want to rant because it is a free site and we get a lot of enjoyment and information from it. Don't want to bag monty considering he has created a great community.

Having said that there are a lot of people on here who contribute huge amounts of work to make this site what it is. It is a great community because of all the regulars contributing their time to make this a truly high quality forum, and thus I believe we have the right to expect reasonable reliability.

Coupled with that - as an iPad user, I am constantly getting frustrated with the pop-up advertising that is ruining my experience of the site. Surely some of the $ generated from these could be used to make the site more reliable.

Apologies if any of this is out of line.

It's not.
This has been an issue for over a year. :-\

And yet again can barely get on here today
when is something going to be done about this problem?

In agreeance with everyone. There are other sites out there, I'm not gonna post them on here but you all know how to use google.
I love coming on the forum and there's some great guys (and girls) on here but unfortunately live stats and player pages are unreliable and I've been banned from chat for 2 years now because of a one-off comment that I still don't think was that bad.

I'll get live stats from elsewhere (that have live updates of breakevens and price changes mid-game) without the server problems thanks. Don't usually use the forums on the weekend anyway so server issues won't bother me.

Yeah it has gotten beyond a joke, trying to run a XVS comp on here is impossible, i work 16 hours a day through the week so if i cant get on to get everything done and updated on the weekend then it just isn't going to happen.

just about to throw in the towel.

don't care about the live stats which is obviously what casues the problem, there are live stats elsewhere so why we need them here is beyond me.

not knocking the site, i love it, just can't seem to use it any more.

Don't throw in the towel mate.

Agree though this site is almost unusable on weekends which sucks for the guys that have put alot of time into things such as XV comps.

I thought a guy like m0nty would at least tell his forum users that he is working on it or given us just an update of some sort. Just left us hanging here, frustrated. Cmon mate lift your game. The people on here deserve better

I'm not about to have a go at Monty, everything we do and love on here is only possible due to what he created.

to keep it in perspective.

in saying that i am prepared to tell it how it is, and this is a feedback thread....

i wouldn't "throw in" the AXVS towel so to speak Jay, just make you or one of the other guys run it  ;)

this is an issue for the guys having the work to do on XVS over the weekends, but more disappointing is not being able to chat and comment with fellow forum members during the games and after them

what is most frustrating is not being able to reliably get on here before games for crucial information on teams and subs.

gives our "competitors" in leagues from other sites an advantage, already cost me starting karnezis when he was sub because i couldn't get on to check in time, i left it late sure but expected to just come on FF and immediately find the post and make the changes, but that didn't happen.

now i have to have twitter open and the one stop shop FF site is currently not the one stop shop it once was.

IMO the most annoying thing about all of this, is not ONE reply from m0nty re addressing this.

Agree with everything you say Colli - Trying to update during games is virtually impossible. You can have a connection and post something and then go to post another update and connection lost very annoying.

Gave up last night trying to post on FF,  Thank Heavens still able to update British xv's from Sportal site direct.

Am expecting similar problems this afternoon.

Yeah, it is really poor not commenting in this.

everyone ready for FF lockout  ::)

a game is about to start....

+ 1 to all the above. Lack of communication regarding the problem i find the biggest frustration. So many good members all doing their level best to take the site forward being left out in the cold as far as what is being done to remedy it or will this be the norm from here on in. Membership has gone through the roof over the last 12 months and issues like this should of been expected on the weekends due to that fact and remedies put in place to avoid it. Start of every year we have issues and tbh it's becoming over bearing as it's getting worse not better.  :(
