I got tired of waiting for my response to a discussion to post, almost dozed off, so I opened a new browser window so I could keep posting and responding in mylots. I hate when that happens! I hope this one goes through!

I think it's cool that as soon as you post something, you have a swarm af answers. I guess that's because you have such a HUGE friend list, huh? I'm working to build my friend list, but it's going slow. I'm being kinda picky. But that's probably good. You posted this 4 days ago, but it just popped to the top, so I'll answer it too.

I think I'm just being lucky right now, but having a large friends list does help. Most of them look to the friends list first to find discussions to answer and that also helps. Just depends. Some of my very first discussions never got very many answers. I think it just takes awhile to get the hang of posting on mylots! Glad you stopped by!

Hmmm - have not had so slow experiences, but if the sites are slow, which happens on other sites too, I often go to another site or get up and do something else. Just wondering how often they have to upgrade the servers when the community here grows so fast.

I hate that too. I always copy the post and hit the respond again. Sometimes it goes on through and if it doesn't I can open up the window and paste it again. I think it happens when the servers et bogged down. Too many post going at once.

It's always just when you have written a longer and more carefully thought out and difficult response too isn't it .. having been caught out a couple of times I now copy any longer replies I make or replies with lots of detail in .. at least that way I don't lose it completely if MyLot 'stalls' on me ...

That happened to me several times yesterday, and each time it did, it was on a very long post. I was ready to just quit when it finally went through after just sitting there for 3-4 minutes. I told myself I would NOT re-type the long response again if it didn't go through. I hate when that happens also. I didn't think about opening another browser while I was waiting, but will do that if it happens again.

When the computer is balking and you are snoozy it is definitely time to call it a night. I am hoping today brings you more cooperation from the computer if you get on it at all. Looking forward to seeing you around again soon. Take care!

Oh, I understand your sentiment esther. I just gave a public outcry yesterday about certain FRIENDS who all but forgot that I'm still alive. But while waiting for response to my thread, I will check through some of my friends discussions first.

i have been having the same thing too for a couple days on and off. I just chalk it up to either too many people on the site, or something witha glitch or something on the web site.

At least a new browser window works for you. It did not work for me, unfortunately, and it slows down my other windows and tabs. I am better off using one window even though it is slow :P
