Is ANYBODY working on this??? Or are we all just whistling up our asses with this thread? I’m so close to dropping out.

You can’t! We’ll never Count to a Million if you do! 😉

I’ve been having problems too. One thing I’ve noticed is that (in my case anyway), they tend to occur in groups. For example, first try, 504; second try, 502; third try, 502; fourth try, I get the page I want, after about twenty seconds; next try of a different page, no problem. Then things work just fine for the next 30 to 45 minutes, before a group of problems occur again.

Not sure if anybody else is having the same experience (I haven’t read the whole thread), but perhaps my experiences will help the PTB track the problems down eventually.

You’re expecting a lot from a board that probably has an annual revenue that can be expressed in four figures.

Does that include the two places after the decimal point?

Should they be getting ANY revenue with the amount of problems they’re having lately that they don’t seem to care enough to look in to?

Doing better today, at least, but still a long way from perfect.

In my opinion, yes. I don’t like the software glitches but I enjoy the interaction here enough that I’m willing to put up with the problems.

My belief is that the problem here is a lack of resources not a lack of care.

The Board’s performance has reached ever new lows today, and that is saying a lot.

WTF? That damn Sultantheme is taking over again? So, Admins/Mods: does the new site NOT have that? If so, AWESOME!

Took me about half an hour to get to this page today.

I’ve been playing, “Will it load?”, a new faux game show I made up. Go to a random number generator, the number you get is your points. Bet those points by predicting if the next page will load. If you’re right, you get those points!

After typing this and about to be pressing “Post quick reply”, I’m going with, “Yes, it will load” for 127 points. (Trying to be positive.)

Whoo-hoo! I was right! 127 points, please! 😃
