So Slow Lately?
So Slow Lately?
Are other people having trouble with the site being incredibly slow, or even "unavailable" or timing out? Having lots of trouble last couple of days.

Re: So Slow Lately?
It's been fine my side and I'm in South Africa. No problems with connecting or with timing out. Maybe it's just a server problem on your side?

Re: So Slow Lately?
Some days worse then others here. I usually don't time out but 50% of the time it's VERY slow, been that way for over a month now.

It's been only this site, so I know it's not my computer or my connection, when waiting endlessly for it to come in, I can click into any other site and get it right away. The problem has been here, specifically.

Re: So Slow Lately?
I reported it earlier to two of the moderators. I got a 503 Service not available and super slow on the computer and my notepad.

Re: So Slow Lately?
I think we all thought it was our computers!
It is not, but we don't know yet what the problem might be. We are looking into it and hopefully things will speed up soon! Will let you know as soon as we do.

Haha! Yes!!!
So happy it's not my crappy computer!!! Wasn't sure if it was chrome or my computer and I was getting annoyed!

Re: So Slow Lately?
I've gotten the 503 Service Not Available thing once or twice and its been slow sometimes. But overall it works fine, might be because I'm using my phone though.
