FOR ROWENA:
Hi Rowena, can you please ask the CC web team if they have considered moving CT out of the CC domain and setting up a separate CT domain, to improve access and use? This would remove many layers of linking which is making this site so tardy. They are clearly not having any success in finding a solution to the current speed/access problem.

We are now on a very fast feed and the CT pages take considerably longer than other sites. It does depend on time of day, first thing it is often a lot quicker. Currently the discussion page is taking about 10 seconds just to refresh. As compared to about 2 seconds for other websites with much more information.

Interestingly just tried to ping www.caravanclub.co.uk and it failed four times as it timed out!!! Anyone else like to have a go to to make sure it's not my connection?

I somehow doubt it would cost as much as the current Club Together once it was all set up. It seems to me that we currently have the situation where IT have to spend hours trying to keep the ship afloat plus what they are spending on manning the Facebook page?

Also For Rowena - where are you?
I don't use any Social Media whatsoever! I wonder how many other users of CT don't use Facebook etc. Facebook is not the answer.
For the others who responded saying they have no problem with the performance and speed, you are kidding yourself. The issue with the CC/CT web site is fundamental design flaw and no matter how much bandwidth you have it will not drill down through the layers of code used in the design any quicker. As DK said above, it is not the main site that is at fault, but I think that could be a lot better as well, it is all the bolt on packages and the method used to bolt on; for instance, CT, Ferry Bookings, Red Pennant, Classified Ads and more.....

If I understand things correctly Club Together and Facebook have two completely different functions. Club Together is for member initiated discussions where as Facebook is just for asking questions and commenting. We do sometimes take down posts and discussions on here but it is pretty rare but on Facebook the user contributed posts are very strictly monitored and often removed so the two are not the same. Just concerns me that so much in the way of resources is being put into Facebook whilst we languish here.

Although resources are being put into FB general things are replicated on here, eg sites promotions and photo requests and there's not a lot left to make it particularly interesting. It's just the response levels are high and a feel good factor is involved. Add in lots of FB likes and it just rolls along in a more predictable way.
