I’ve only gotten two timeouts today, where before I was getting them constantly. ---

I can’t post now. “Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired.” Somehow that posted. WTH? ---

You seem to be obsessed with jinxes – it’s at least the second time you’ve mentioned it. But don’t worry, I just unjinxed it. Read your post just fine, made some earlier posts just fine, and this one I’m sure will go through just fine. 🙂 ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Bully for you. > > Mentioning something \*\*twice \*\*=/= obsession. 😕 Hey, you’re one of my favorite posters. I was enjoying – and playing on – the reference to “jinxes”. There was just something funny about it in these difficult times where not very much is funny. 🙂 ---

There was just something funny about it in these difficult times where not very much is funny. 🙂 OK. Forgiven. _\_ I guess I’m a little more sensitive even than usual. Which is plenty in normal times. ---

> [@jerez](#): > > As I’ve said a couple of times in another thread, I just let the board do its thing, and the post finally got through without a duplicate. Yeah, I’ve had to do a LOT of goin’ with the flow these days. Just grateful things are working at all… And I’m SO glad to have this board. Even running on impulse power, it’s keeping me sane to have an outlet. And of course to read the adventures of people who are weirder than I’ll ever be. Thank you all. ---

Still glitches here and there until this morning. Then kaboom! Back to really awful response. ---

The last 7-10 days were very smooth, almost like the old days. But yeah, this morning is awful. I first noticed it early this morning (2 AM-ish Denver time) ---

I had problems yesterday and today. It’s better than before, though. ---

You click on the SDMB link and it’s “round and round she goes and where she stops, nobody knows”"-- will you get through or won’t you? Will this be the lucky click? If you get through, will you on the next click? Or will your luck desert you and you’ll have one 502/504 after another?? _Nobody knows…_ ---

Had some 502s or whatever the number is today. ---

If you get through, will you on the next click? Or will your luck desert you and you’ll have one 502/504 after another?? _Nobody knows…_ It’s been pretty bad today, no question. Had a “server error” timeout followed by two consecutive 504 timeouts. I was angling for my fourth when my “previous post” refresh miraculously went through. Then did a “submit reply” and got “server error” again. But based on past experience, I knew the post had probably gone through. Created another thread to check, and yep, after a long, long delay of going round and round, there it was. I just woke up at 2:45 AM EST and it’s still timing out very frequently. Today was not a good day, so if someone worked some magic recently to make it better for a couple of days, they need to do it again! Seriously, the board can’t survive with this kind of performance. ---

Anecdotal - I kept noticing “[ping.chartbeat.net](http://ping.chartbeat.net)” in the status bar (always waiting for something from it) - I blocked them via ad-block and things have been much improved for me since.
