I know it isn't anything to do with our broadband speed, as I can get any other sites up in a twinkling. And it's so variable - it's whizzing along nicely at the moment, but 15 minutes ago it wouldn't even load. Very strange.
No criticism of Mudcat at all, it's a very enjoyable place, but only when you can get into it!
(I'm now going to press 'submit message', and hope it still behaves itself.)
