<p>Anyone else experiencing looooooooong delays with CC? Other websites are fine.</p>
<p>yup, i am…</p>
<p>Yes, Dig-
Posted a thread about this last week in the community forum. Mods said they were tweaking and upgrading their server (correct, mods??) and experiencing heavy traffic. Mods also posted something up top where the “featured discussions” are listed. However, it’s still slo-o-o-o-ow and often you get the “website not responding” screen, but if you hit refresh, it double posts. </p>
<p>I’ve always had this fantasy that there are gremlins chained and caged in the dungeons of the Community Cafe, which is what makes that such a scary place for many of us to venture…</p>
<p>Given the “testi-ness” lately on several threads, I wonder whether (1) the gremlins broke free from their cages or (2) the program is purposely slowing itself down to make us think before we hit “send”. </p>
<p>As April 1 is around the corner, and the traffic will surely pick up with everyone wanting to share their collective hopefully good news, maybe the gremlins will take a hiatus.</p>
<p>Several people also experienced what sounded like someone messing with the program and trying to hijack names/passwords. Several people said they got “locked out” for a while. I hope CC hasn’t been hacked. That would be no fun. Now, what bright college-bound student with time on their hands would <em>possibly</em> consider doing such a thing… :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Whew! What a relief. I had some “stuff” done to my computer this morning to make it compatible with new office network, and I thought the problem was my computer. Thank you, dig, for eliminating one stressor the day. :D</p>
<p>it’s taking like 2 minutes for me to post something.</p>
<p>It’s caused by very high traffic folks. It’s that time of the year.</p>
<p>Yep. It is weird though. You post or edit a post- you click the correct button and slooooowwwwlllly it loads and then goes to a “website not responding” screen. Then I hit refresh and it says ,you can only post once every sixty seconds. When I finally do make it back to the thread , my post is there! </p>
<p>Not as bad as one board of mine. It’s so goofed we can’t see what we are typing UNTIL we post. Now that is difficult.</p>
<p>Comparatively, this is a piece of cake. Keep working at it mods.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t remember it being this slow this time last year…although my memory has large holes in it…</p>
<p>yeah what is the deal, and things are disappearing!</p>
<p>(also ive found that a lot of times if its taking forever to load, you know how it shows the percentage on that little bar thing, if you just click another link like “new posts”, your post still appears even though it iddint seem like it fully loaded…dont know if this applies for everyone though)</p>
<p>Yep - posting during “prime time” is quite slow, but here in the early morning is a breeze.</p>
<p>It’s SO slow.
I can’t stand it after it took me literally forever to get a fast internet connection speed.
I finally think I succeeded, and lo, another problem arises.</p>
