I reported much the same problem on September 22nd, and got much the same response. I don't know how many Saved Searches I have, because I have been unable to open the Saved Searches to find out, but I feel sure the total must also be in the 60 plus region. I don't know if I ought to admit to this, but I re-registered, and on my new log-in, I have had no problems (with only eight or nine Saved Searches).

Still took 5 minutes to open the box and an average of three minutes to delete a search so it seems to be a combination of a slow network and a large number of saved searches causing the problem. I had over sixty Having said that had no problems up until a couple of weeks ago so I contacted NICE and the reply is below So I’m left with Catch 22, can’t do anything about the speed of our network, so need to delete more than I already have done at home, but can’t get in to do so! The reply says nobody else has reported this problem. So if you do have a problem, as some of you told me, bombard them because I feel there is some underlying problem as it hasn’t been a problem in the past.

I am sorry you are having difficulties. We have not had any other reports about this issue and I have created a test account under your organisation and unfortunately I have been unable to replicate the issue. I created a number of different searches and have been able to get into them quickly. If you have a large number of saved searches it will take longer to open the page. You may wish to contact your IT department to see if there is anything they can do to help. I hope this information is helpful.
