Is anyone else experiencing slow load times for loading the initial GW C&S page?

And also slow times for previewing one's message and submitting it?

It's nearly taking epochs to get from one section of a message submission/posting to another.

There's not a message we see at the top of the Forum, so I'm wondering if anyone else is having this sort of problem.

Thanks,

Not me, but I did discover recently when my response time to clicking was slow, it seemed it was always when I had an anti-virus program running an update in the background.

Roro,

Maybe it's just me with my native ability to expect instant gratification. Thanks!

Oh absolutely you need to do those other updates, adobe and java are so important to keep updated, the worst infections we see these days come from not having updated those items. For flash you must install it on each of the browsers on your pc, there's a special version for IE, and the non Ie version for the others like firefox and chrome etc, if you need help with any of these please ask, but by all means do those updates as soon as they come out. Be sure you only have the latest version of java get rid of the old versions. When they put out updates it is almost always due to a security issue.

Mine isn't slow and I don't see the green links that have been mentioned. Sometimes my internet explorer freezes up on me here, but that has been happening on and off for a week or so. The only ad I see here is the Disney DVD ad on the right hand side.

GW Cooking bug, anyone else experiencing it?

I wonder if it's at the node level? Have you tried rebooting? Both the browser (double click the home button and flick the browser pane up to close it), and the iPad (hold down the top button until the slider comes on the screen, slide it to turn off, and let the device cool down for half an hour). Sometimes when weird crap happens, rebooting makes it all better. But, most likely, it's another of those really annoying GW advertising schemes...

Glad to hear everyone's stories. Its been tough for us since we've had no kitchen during all of this. This week there has been no one working at our house and its really the days or weeks that no one is here that kills my spirit. Its not raining- the contractors should be here working. But I get a text saying they will be here Saturday when its a 95% chance rain. So we can all guess what's going to happen. I'm wondering at what point can I go - nothing is happening, we are getting concerned this is going from a 10 week remodel to one in which ya'll won't give me an end date. And yes, I do think that the crews went to work other jobs bc yesterday's excuse was rain and today its sunny and yet no contractors here. Frustrating.

Yes, sometimes, but I haVE An old computer and it is very overloaded so I was blaming it on that fact. Sometimes I also have to press my browzer reload icon because it just gets caught in a loading loophole

Well, I'm not surprised that it's a bit slow on my home computer (older, hand me down computers, as it were). But today it was noticeably slow on my office computer which is fast & state of the art. I actually gave up trying to click into C&S something at the end of the business day, it never finished & I gave up. I don't recalll having had that happen before ... hum ... gremlins? I guess they're still working on the system, or maybe their servers.

I DO see the caution/disclaimer about they're working on stuff IS back up again. Hrmphhhhhhhh (today's version of Grrrrrrrrrr)

Perhaps it is just the servers that we each have, I have no problems, even when they said that they were missing pages etc. and working to correct problems, perhaps we need to check on the timing of our PC I noticed that mine was slow, and my geek fixed it. If I can find my instructions I will print it here. I hope I saved the instructions? Norma
