WTMindy Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Are the boards moving slowly for you this morning or is it just my computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain_Jane Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 They are taking forever for me too. I was just about to take it as a *sign* that I was meant to accomplish better things today. Then you posted this. :glare: Hmm. Guess not. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutor Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Slow for me, too. (Drat! I thought it was my brain, and I could call school on account of "slow brain." Shucks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soph the vet Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Me too. Sometimes slow, sometimes normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Slow here. The other day I kept getting a "Server busy" message, and couldn't even get on. I ended up doing math with my child instead, :blink: eek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 So slow... guess my mental break will be a shower today instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl in NM Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 They are taking forever for me too. I was just about to take it as a *sign* that I was meant to accomplish better things today. Then you posted this. :glare:Hmm. Guess not. :D Me too! I spend entirely too much time here! Of course, I get such great ideas! The boards are very slow for me also today. I just thought it was my internet connection. Guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRoomHomeSchool Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Server error messages yesterday. V-E-R-Y slow today. :confused: Guess it's a sign to get off here and get to work! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yes, and most post don't open for me. It took 15 minutes just to be able to reply to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACEmom Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I kept getting the busy server messages yesterday, and today it's extremely S-L-O-W. Guess I need to take that as a hint and go do something productive.....like teaching my children! Jerriann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Painfully slow for the second day here... guess that's a good thing, getting more done. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Slow here. The other day I kept getting a "Server busy" message, and couldn't even get on. I ended up doing math with my child instead, :blink: eek! Now, that is just wrong!!! You were actually homeschooling?! You are making the rest of us look bad.

Anne/Ankara Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well, it looks like we're hitting all time high records in number of people (was the record set Monday, 3/31?) Looks like there are more and more people on the boards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yep, slow for a few days actually. I got the server busy message for the first time the other day, too! :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janna Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 all those Yahoo Slurp Spiders? If you don't know what I'm talking about, there is a thread that was started last night and moved to the "How to and testing" board. It just seems like an odd coincidence to be so slow today when this was discussed last night. Off to the Dr. Hopefully it will be back to normal when I get back! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleWI Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have high-speed internet access and this is the slowest site that I visit. Around lunch each day, I had been visiting here but that seems to be one of the worst times for "Server Busy" errors. The webcrawlers (Yahoo Slurps and such) will contribute, but not terribly. Usually the board software will allow for blocking them, but that isn't a good solution if the board owners want the content searchable by Google, Yahoo and so on. The excess chatty posts, particularly in the General forum, probably contribute (and I am not suggesting that stop!) to the board slowness without adding homeschooling content to the board. They are relationship-building for the online community here, though. Purchasing more bandwidth or moving to a server that can handle the load would be an option, but it will cost the board owners to do this.

cricket1178 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Whew! I thought it was just my computer. I was ready to pitch the thing out the door! I do seem to remember this happening when the boards get full, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.griff Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 yes, it's driving me crazy. I like to pop on here for a couple of minutes here and there, but it's taking way too long for the pages to load. I have now started opening 3 tabs to different posts, LOL, so that hopefully by the time I am done reading/replying to one, another will be ready. :o Here's a link for a quick pass time if you are waiting on the slow boards during your "break". :D http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
