Problems with This Site?

[tangomonster]

Has anyone else had problems accessing these boards yesterday and this morning? I'm trying to figure out if I need to fire (and not our type of FIRE!) AT & T as my ISP!

No problems here - can't remember the last time I had difficulty.

Tango, I had some problems with the connection timing out yesterday.

Our IT dept told me last week that there have been massive assaults on Yahoo and Google recently. Somebody is eating up a lot of bandwidth it seems.

Lots of slow loads and time-outs, including while trying to post this...

 

[maddythebeagle]

Also had problems with it loading this morning...

Site Status Reports

E-R.org's been worse but the Google adserver really slows things down. It's a lot easier to open multiple windows than to click back & forth among posts.

I make it a habit now to copy my message before posting. I've written too many posts that get hung up when I hit the send button and then get lost forever.

Now when it happens I just do the ol' Ctrl V trick.

When it's slow, I've noticed the following enough times to believe that it's not a coincidence.

I click on a topic, and there's a long delay -- no progress.
I click on the Stop icon, and click on the topic again and it loads instantly.

Sucks big time today

This is the first time today that I have been able to get on this site and it was still very slow to load. All the other sites I visit have been fast so it has to be site specific. Bummer.

Me too. I wasn't on this morning, but tonight after the game I attempted a few times and gave up. This is by far the poorest performing site, of any type, that I go to.

I am getting errors that drive me to some msft error reporting and then drops me off the site. I thought it might be some msft thing, since I recently accepted some upgrades. I guess it isn't.

I just realized this post wasn't on the forum admin topic so Andy probably missed it. I just posted a link on the moderator board.

 

[two4theroad]

The site is loading normally for me now.

I can confirm that. It almost feels like some script is looping until you break it by reloading the page.

Problems with slow loading and timing out again today...

Yup, I'm having the same problem.

And again, around 7:45 CST, unreachable for about 4-5 min....

 

[HFWR]

Slow all day, including down a couple of times...

I can't get into the Portal although I am logged in.

I can't get into the Portal although I am logged in.

Whew! Thanks Mead, I was afraid it was something I had done...

 

[Puzzley]

When I tried to access the portal, it told me I didn't have sufficent privledges to access that page....
