on this dambed forum. I go to forums to read the interesting, informative, funny, outrageous threads. Not to get the "browser timed out" error nine out of ten time when I select a thread to read. Not to mention when I can finally read a thread and attempt to post to it, I get the same error. Guess I will see you all around some place, but I go to forums to read, not be frustrated by consent errors.
Oh, it only took me 5 tries to get this to post.

I thought it was just me, too. It's not just the forums......the whole SL website seems to be moving very sluggishly, if at all. And I noticed that the log in screen on SL has been the exact same for 3 or 4 days. It's consistently 10:22 a.m. PST, and there are 42 thousand something logged on no matter what day or time. It's just the usual SL stuff

What does that do? If it helps any I'd like to understand... (F5) (using ie7)? with internet explorer(or many other browsers) u can have tabs in the main window so u don`t get 20 open windows simple middle mouse click on a link opens it in a new tab so easy to open and same with closing, middle mouse button on the tab and it closes F5 is the shortcut to page refresh so if it doesn`t loads u can just hit f5 instead of pressing the refresh button _____________________

They say so is Chastity...... I must be the most virtuous person there is then! Seriously people, websites need maintainence and the internet is not constant! Spare a thought for people and businesses using Pipex today which went pop-belly-up for several hours. |

Make sure to do an internet speed test to confirm that it is LL's server malfunctioning and not your own ISP. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ I understand your frustration; it happens to me all of the time when I am browsing in here. You can try refreshing your connection in Network places of Windows XP/Vista; that usually works for me.
It would seem as though when LL is having a problem with one of its features, another suffers as well as though the hamster wheel is connected to the grid & the forums. As I post this message, voice is not working in world and has not been since earlier this morning. Also, when I teleported to my friend's residence, the sim's dialation was deplorable with lots of lag. I managed to TP to the other 6 residents in the sim to see if they were griefers; they weren't doing anything wrong, just standing around. The clear cache advice may sound cliche, but it can be helpful for webpages too. I clear out all cookies and cache files out of Firefox and IE daily. Good luck to you; don't let the problems hinder your fun on the forums! |

Hey man, I can be chaste. Just not virginal. Go to Gor, They will re-virginate you. Then run away before they Un-virginate you again. |
