Thx

1. Having the same problem.

It just gets stuck and won't load.

[Tace]

2. Yes, I'm finding Some Forums Very Slow Loading

Good Reads is slow, but Latest Threads loads immy.

3. It happens to me every afternoon, no matter which computer I'm using.

[Ron Obvious]

4. Yes, it is....

Lots of timeouts and slow response. And not for the first time either.

5. Off and on. sometimes loads immediately, sometimes loads like dial-up.

Tried 3 computers, two OS, three browsers.
Everything else connects fast.

9. Same here, other sites are normal/fast, DU very slow.

It should speed up soon, as we DUers leave the keyboards to grill some brats&burgers. That process is slow, too, but smells much better.

6. I'm in Pacific NW and it is, especially my posts but forums & posting too

7. THANKS for responding, Loungers;

good to know I haven't 'lost' whatever 'it' is.

8. Yes!

But I've been having unresponsiveness with my laptop on other sites, too.

I think I may need the computer guru to come check it out.

10. yep.

As in turtle wearing lead boots walking uphill through molasses kind of slow.

[rug]

11. Yes.

Fortunately most of them post in the same place.

14. HA!

I, however, go for variety!!!

[BooScout]

12. yes!

I feel better now that I know I am not alone, lol

[frogmarch]

13. Yes.

Could it be because it's a holiday weekend and therefore, more traffic?

[redwitch]

15. Yes, off and on today very difficult loading. nt

[liberaltrucker]

16. Front page is very slow

And pic of the moment won't load.
And I have a 40 Mbps connection.

17. almost every time I have tried to look in

thought it was me. I know they said something about upgrading servers in ATA a few days ago, that might be it.

18. OH, I missed that!

Sounds likely to be the reason. GOOD NEWS!
