Having troubles getting on DU, have to use "upload" vs www

[uppityperson]

it's been going on the last few minutes, anyone else having issues?

1. Yup. It's slow and sometimes stops, have to refresh. I hope the admins

are tweaking it, or else it's my 'puter or ISP?

3. Thanks. It doesn't seem to be happening for everyone as people

are still posting. "upload" is another way in, you replace "www" with "upload" , fyi

10. Admin or mods posted the "upload" thing a couple yrs back when

it got busy and there were issues with servers. I finally figures out the way to simply change www to upload vs having to copy/paste/find my bookmark.

It's gotten me on most times, though there have been a couple times it wouldn't.

9. I moved some furniture around and thought a table leg was on the power cord.

Just kidding, but I have noticed it as well.

And my computer is red-hot and rocking - really fast.

really historical here at DU as well, I suspect.

12. I've noticed certain sites esp RawStory

probably because LaLaRawRaw has been doing her job as a journalist.
