Who else is finding Fluther really slow today?

Asked by gailcalled (54647points) March 21st, 2013

Or is it my cheap, understaffed server who never updates its equipment and lets water seep into the lines? (DSL only here…no broadband.)

It was really bad earlier. I’d hit the answer button and then go do something else for a while.

Who gets to bell the cat tell Auggie?

I was thinking of IMing Ben but that seems too invasive.

M-e-e-e-e-e-e-e.

I took to right-clicking links and choosing “open in a new window” for a while. It seemed to work faster for some reason.

It is reeeeally slow, but it seems to be getting better now.

It does seem slow, but I have not been as active lately with everything I have going on.
Figures, today is a day of relative rest for me and the parking lot is empty. lol

Coloma's avatar

Oh wait…you mean “slow” as in slow to connect. Yes, it is taking forever it seems to navigate around.

My brain is mush.

Oh me, sir. I have to have two windows open doing two things at once.

It was slow getting on, but until I realized you meant mechanically slow, I was going to say, “if it’s boring, we are each contributing.”

Whew, it’s not just me. I’m hemming up some new pants today, and get about 5 stitches everytime I hit the enter key.

I just logged on and found that one of our servers is down. I’ve notified the big guy, so I hope to have it fixed soon. Sorry for the frustration!

augustlan's avatar

Still slow at 4 am EST. Grrr.

Yes, I found it very slow yesterday. It took a long time to answer and edit. I figured Server Squid was somehow responsible.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

It’s still slow at times today. I could get my chisel and some slate and respond faster.

Be grateful and remind yourself of the days of dial-up.

Some things I have been doing in the interstices;

Emptied litter box.
Filed nails
Answered emails.
Wrote an old-fashioned condolence card.

Called my server about their crappy equipment that shuts off all the time after dark when it is cold and wet…which it has been for three weeks. I must recycle my modem four times a night.

And today!

Coloma's avatar

Yep, still slow, maybe it’s a time warp.
My mechanics computers whacked out the other day and when he printed my receipt the date came out as 1–3-2002! lol
Damn, I know I haven’t gone that long between oil changes. haha

I think it’s a result of an attempt by Alternate Fluther to gain control of our reality.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

I just listened to all of Long Train Running while waiting on one PM to go. I think Auggie is messing with us for all our modded comments.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

I just stumbled upon something. When sending an answer if you double click on the answer button it seems to send it a lot faster.

zenvelo's avatar

Thank goodness for tabbed browsing. I can hit send and switch to another site while I am waiting…..waiting….waiting….

Coloma's avatar

Watching the grass grow still.

woodcutter's avatar

It’s 3:25 central and its still a PITA. Thought it was my end because there were other sites draggin ass too. So glad to know I’m not imagining things, right now

augustlan's avatar

Just got the word: the server has been restarted! If anyone is still having trouble, try clearing your cache and restarting your browser. If that doesn’t do the trick, please let me know. Thanks for your patience!

Today, I am.

The servers seem to be working just fine, though.
