    Is anyone else having trouble with the site loading?

    It's loading really slow for me and giving me only partial screens. Anyone else having this issue?

    Thanks Eggie. This happened the other day too but when they checked it, they said it was fine for them. I've sent the tech team another message. There's definitely something wrong.

    I did the same but it didn't help much. I dumped my cookies and ran a quick scan also. No, it's the site. They just added something new that they are testing, has to do with a new ask button that peopel can click and post a question without having to be a members. Those would be the "user" names you might have seen. I think it's affecting the app somehow.

    OK.I always blame my computer first.It's somehow re-assuring to know that others are having the same difficulties.:):)
    Yes it is slow today.It's timed out on me a couple of times too.I guess it must be a busy day.:)

    I think the server is having some kind of issue as this site has not been overly busy. It's certainly not being overloaded with info.
    Cut out on me once,seems ok now.

    Thanks Rick. It is looking like it was a site crash.
    From the admin:

    Hey Colleen.

    The tech team are looking for problems on the site, thanks for informing us.
    Please send us examples if you encounter more issues.


    So could you all please do this? By examples, they are asking if you find a page that will not open and gives a code (other than 404, as that code just means the question has been removed) but any other code, copy the URL for that page along with the code or message and paste it into the message box on the contact link at the bottom of this page. Anything at all you find wrong with the app, list in as much detail as possible and send directly to them or post it here. Thanks again :)
    OK, I just experienced a site crash again just 10 minutes ago or so. anyone else?

    Dang, eat the ice cream softer or something then...apparently you disturbed the server with your ice cream eating 0.0
    Anyone else around? Has anyone else experienced this issue? I want everyone to post that has experienced this so I can send this thread to the tech team.
    been working fine all day for me(tuesday), having a problem trying to find an inteligent question though!

    Well unfortunately, there's nothing the developers can do about the questions, lol...thanks for the impute :)

    It's been Ok for a couple of hours now but it has happened two times where the site has completely crashed for about 5-10 minutes. If it does ever happen for you, report it as soon as you can. Give details like what happened when you clicked the link and tried to join the forum and for about how long it was down for you. The actions of the site at the time helps them to trouble shoot.
    Not having any problems either.

    See my comment to Shootah. Thanks for checking in though. Try to remember this thread if you do ever run into this issue. Like I posted, the tech team have the link for this thread so will read the comments.

    I just got an error message and couldn't pull up any questions, then pages and finally couldn't get back in. Just got back in now. Wild ride first thing in the morning.
    Same as Shootah and 6dogs...nothing wrong...

    Thanks dh. Did you experience the crash earlier? I think you were on at the time.
    Not today, yesterday every time I tried to post an answer it would go to an error page. So far today it fine.

    If anyone is experiencing site issues today, please report them here. The developers are working on correcting the issues and need feed back on anything you find wrong with the app. Thanks
