Garden Web so slow to respond

16 years ago

For a week or more now, all forum pages on GW are slow to open, posts slow to open and close, takes 30 seconds or more which doesn't sound slow but it's quite a difference than normal. Even to log in, it takes forever; now I noticed that administrators were working on that problem and the alert has been taken down; but I'm still waiting a long time before I can log in.

I'd think it was my computer if all other forums I frequent were slow, but they are not affected - only GW. Do I have cookies turned off somehow? I was clearing individual cookies now and then for awhile but stopped because I thought I was deleting important ones from GW. I've emailed the admin. but so far no replies. Is there a way to check to see if I have all the necessary cookies turned on?

A little more info of your computer would go a long way.
How much memory does your system have. What browser and version are you using? What sort of internet connection are you using (Cable, DSL, Dialup)?

Up till this past April when I changed ISP and got a new e-mail address I had some really nice e-mail conversations. But since last April I've been trying to get GW to change my e-mail address and it just isn't working. I've been to my personal page,I've sent e-mail to the "powers to be" and still I can't get the e-mail changed. gypsypat@finestplanet.com SOooooothis fall I'll see about getting a new ISP and see if that will take, then maybe I can resume some much missed friendships.

I agree with Chilidawg, using Firefox, I don't notice anything being a problem. I am a paying member if that makes a difference. Firefox is free, less prone to viruses and spyware, and easy to download and intall, here's the link below in case you're interested. Sue Here is a link that might be useful: get firefox!

Hey Don, you mean shots like these? And just for fun, this one: Yeah, I know youÂve gotta watch out for sushi; all kinds of stuff shows up. Whale, horse, chicken, and some of the parasite laden fish like mackerel. With the mackerel (saba), if the fish is fresh then the meat is OK (so IÂm told) because the parasitic worms are in the fishÂs belly, not the meat. However, if the fish isnÂt fresh the parasites move into the meat hence you eat them. I know one fellow who was unfortunate and ate some bad saba. The doctor took a look inside with his endoscope and started laughing. He remarked between chuckles, "I can see the worm devouring your stomach lining!" Doctors have a strange sense of humor. In the near future I will be putting up a site for my photos and thoughts. I'll let you know when it is up. PF
