I don't see no ads. Although I have got an adblocker, not one but two for some reason.
 
An update guys because of the number of reported issues I've had, I've posted this on a number of boards...

Ok guys, the site owner has come back to me, the bits in brackets is me interjecting...

Do we know the errors they are getting (assume that means codes like 408) or can we get screenshots (I assume you guys are experiencing it just hanging)?

If it's at the ISP level it might be that we've been put in some adult blocking category (this had crossed my mind) or something else.

But I can't see issues from my side.

If it's Cloudflare it might be they see them as a threat or it being spam (the site has had to deal with spam last two days from Brazil)

I might be able to change sensitivity configs on Cloudflare to allow all UK traffic, maybe I try that now. (I know we had to up sensitivity at one point due to being under bot attack).

This is what I get brb. I don’t log off on my iPad, so I’m “online” continuously. Sometimes it takes a few attempts to reload the page. It’s only been like this since the site went down 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Cheers mate, that's the version that I sent back to the owner this afternoon, so it seems to be the main contributor of evidence of what's going on.
 
Night in Manchester, train over to Liverpool, daughter wants to see all things Beatles.
Just waiting to go into their museum, then over to Cavern for a beer.

My dads mum had dementia pretty bad towards the end of her life, I expect my dad will get it eventually too as he gets me and my brothers and his brothers names mixed up quite often

And I expect I’ll get it too at some point although I don’t think anyone will notice cos I’ve always had a terrible memory since I started smoking weed as a teen

Heart attacks run on my mums side too so I’ve that to look forward to as well

Morning. My mum passed away last night after 6 years in a home with advanced dementia. A terrible disease that has robbed my family of precious time we should have all been enjoying together.

Really sorry to hear this mate.

Dementia is a terrible disease that as you will well know, is an agonising way to lose a loved one.

I hope that your mum is at peace now that you and your family can take some solace in the fact that she is no longer suffering and is free.

God bless you all.

Sorry to read this mate.

The one disease I dread and sadly on the increase - hopefully one day science finds a way, so families like yours no longer have to go through this torment.

I really feel for Pieguts. I went through this with my Dad and in some ways it's worse for the family as you are trying to care for somebody who is gradually slipping away and can no longer communicate and function the way they once did.

It's like living with the shell of the person they once were.

It's emotional, upsetting, hard work and heartbreaking

Like you say, let's hope that medical science can find a way to prevent this awful disease.

Feel for you mate, awful disease.
15 yrs ago we were on holiday and got a call saying mom had gone into hospital with a water infection, which was making her delirious, turned out she had had a TIA and it left her with dementia, 3 yrs she lasted, luckily she knew who we all were throughout but it was constant repetition and mad thoughts as in one of my nephews and Gary Barlow were responsible for 9/11. We were lucky in the fact we are a big family so were able to share the care but even then it can be a difficult time, really feel for folk that have to take the full responsibility, must really take its toll on them.
