Are you also experiencing sporadic Fluther lagginess?

Same here. Sometimes (about 25%) it takes 30+ seconds for a page to load and other times it is pretty much instant.

obama

Yes, quite a bit. I thought it was my unreliable internet service, but perhaps not.

Nope & i’m all the way over here in lil ole Englandtown

Yes. It is very slow.

Yes, I’ve restarted my computer twice and that didn’t help : (

I am too, and I don’t have any insight into exactly what Obama has done to screw it up, but I’m finding that when it hangs I just have to hit “esc”, then click the link again and it loads right away.

Too much overeating last week, triggering the irresistable urge to doze off unexpectedly. Omama did serve 12 different kinds of pies, I remember, so this is his fault also.

Thanks for the tip, @thorninmud. :)

Yep, really lagging here, 6pm Weds. the 4th PST,
I cleared my browsing history, didn’t help. Oh well…slow we go.

edit: irresistible.

Constantly. 15 tries to post an answer is too much. I think I’ll take a break while they get the kinks straightened out.

Things are incredibly slow over here. I’m using an iPad and it took 5 minutes to load a page.

Edit again: Obama

Yes—last night and this morning. Annoying but as my dear old Jewish mama used to say, “This should be your worst tragedy all day.”

Yes! For the past 2–3 days, barely anything will load for me. It’s definitely Fluther, because other websites are working fine. It’s incredibly annoying.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room: Funny. You don’t look Jewish.

@thorinmud’s tip works for me.

@gailcalled—my big trunk isn’t a dead giveaway???

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room We should call you Pachy with the Schnozz!

My theory is that Fluther is on strike because Auggie left it to go on a business trip!

Experiencing some

Yes, for the last 24 to 30 hours. It is intermittent but sometimes it is 30 to 40 seconds to switch pages.

lag here in the Netherlands too, yeah.

^^ Hey, Ro

Really bad this morning….ugh!

@thorninmud‘s suggestion of hitting Escape and then clicking the link again works like a charm.

I contacted Ben so hopefully he will have time to look into it.

@janbb, oh, but “The Schnozz” was reserved for Jimmy Durante. (Wonder how many folks on Fluther know who he was.)

Oh—and I know where Auggie went.

I know who JD is/was gettin’ old. lol

Lagging badly for me for the past two days. It’s taking three minutes to open a page. And it’s just Fluther – other websites are as fast as ever.

Jimmy Durante

@Kardamom, that’s my guy!

Great, now I’m going to have Inka Dinka Doo stuck in my head for an hour. ;)

A little Finkel bird has now told me that it should be working fine again now.

Inka Finkel Do.

I think I’m “finkeling better”.

Thanx Finkel bird.

It’s been doing it to me all day. It’s been slow and sometimes I have to reload but it’s workable.

Well…—-drum roll—lets see how long it takes to answer this. Going, going, NOW…

Presto! Instant response. lol

Thank you, little Finkel bird :)

@Buttonstc A largish flightless bird whispered in the Finkel bird’s ear.

Well, whichever way it occurred, we’re all grateful to have Fluther back to its normal sprightly self :)

You’re welcome. :) The servers just need a little smack every now and then.

@ben Thanks!

Ben: Nice to see you. You showed up just in time. We were getting ready to smack you.

Btw, I just built an hourly server auto-restarter. Hopefully it will fix these problems for good without any weird side-effects. We’ll see…

Y ay Ben!! You get 290 bonus lurve points for that.

Sorry this happened while I was away, everyone. I had no internet access while I was on my trip, and was blissfully unaware. I did get to meet @Pachyderm_In_The_Room, though, and he told me it had happened but it was already fixed by then. Thanks to @janbb for whispering to the Finkle bird, and thanks to Finkle bird @ben for fixing it!

^^^ Jet lag strikes again. FINKEL

Holy crap. I’m hanging my head in shame.
