Has anyone else had problems getting responses and comments loaded? Am I the only one stuck still in the water? I have only posted a few things as I could not get my posts loaded. tell me I am not alone here please?

I haven't had much notification from mylot today so I suspect you are not the only one having trouble...

I am still getting notifications, but I have a feeling I am not getting all of the notifies from friends or at all from certain friends.

Mylot doesn't seem to be slower but I can't help thinking I am still missing notify emails.

hi somecowgirl no it cannot be my computer as on hot subjects mylot loads fine so it has to be a glitch as my computer works fine on all the other sites I have been on. I also have a new AVG 9 antivirus just installed last night so have no viruses nor spyware.

Wow! That sounds like it's really bad. Dinner can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour just to eat depending on if your talking or not! That is slow! Maybe it's your computer, I'd see about spyware or malware.

A lot of people have been complaining about glitches, so I doubt seriously that you're alone. It happened to me a while back. I think it's growing pains - so many people and having to keep it all running smoothly. But, all you can do is be patient and save what you wrote (copy and paste if you have to) so you can post it later instead of re-writing it.

hi jerzgirl think it may be because the weekend and all the people are on here at once, I a m in Ca so that probably does not help either.Hopefully I can get on better tomorrow being a work day.

Sorry, but I haven't been on here that much today to notice anything out of the ordinary. I'm sure it is just mylot being slower than usual. It was the other day too.

slow is one thing fwidman but After an hour and it did not load, then what? I cannot belive it is my computer as other sites load and whatever. I am in ca maybe that makes a difference, itis just so frustrating, Iwould not mind waiting five or ten minutes even but after that it looks like there is a snafu someplace.

i rosepedal64 what ever it was the moment my son came I turned back to firefox and it was once more loading like it should so am glad of that. I like firefox as it had features that IE does not have like spell checking and letting you have a number of tabs open.

I have not had any problems but it is a bit slow sometimes. It seems that myLot has been having a lot of trouble in the past couple of months but they don't tell us why or warn us of potential problems. I hope your problems clear up quickly!

It has been a while since you posted your discussion Hatley so I hope your issues are resolved. It is almost nine in the evening here and earlier this afternoon the site was a bit slow and I had trouble earlier all seems ok now...

Hi Hatley! I haven't been on here much this evening, but haven't really noticed a problem. Once in a while if it's running slow for me it's because my anti-virus software is running an update in the background. Or, if it's running a whole scan, some things may run correctly and others slowly (it is the only time I can say that I'm faster than my computer...lol). If it's really irritating for me, it usually corrects itself if I reboot my computer. Have you tried that? Hope it is a temporary issue and that you are back up to speed quickly! Good luch!

Thankfully, rebooting usually does the trick. Anything more advanced and I usually have to bring in the experts (my son or step-daughter). I feed them and in return they keep the computer running. It's a delicate balance, but it works...

Hi Hatley! It could have been a little glitch with firefox too, that's been resolved. Programs like that are always 'works in progress' and constantly updating with minor changes. It's possible that an update caused havoc until it was corrected. No mater what the issue was, glad everyting is working correctly for you now!

No, I am having problems too and do not receive notifications of posts that my friends have made. There are still many glitches and when I email them they just respond saying that they will address my complaint and not to send any more emails. It is very frustrating

Hi, Hatley! I don't have any problems with my postings, but I am missing some of the notifications. Whatever it is, hope it will be fixed soon.

Knock on wood, everything seems to be working fine today. Recently, however, I have noticed that the site seems to be very slow to load and refresh. Posting comments and refreshing pages to read other people's comments seems to take forever. I thought it was just me, but it seems like other people have been having problems off and on, too. I wonder whether or not it is related to specific adds in the banners, but I haven't really noticed.

Alice, I had errors yesterday when I was trying to myLot. I kept getting an error message and the site would not load. I have not noticed any changes, though, so perhaps it was just minor maintenance or something. I am not sure that "exciting" would be the word that I would use, but "interesting" does come to mind. The banners do help to pay for the site, and I was not complaining about them as such. However, certain banners can slow a site down or keep pages from loading or from loading properly. These type of banners should be identified and modified to improve site performance. It does not do myLot or the promoting site any good if the pages with the banners cannot be displayed, because then nobody sees them and that definitely does not promote earnings.

Hatley, I agree that everything seems to be working alright now, but I do not think that I would count on that being the case for all that long. It seems like every time they do an "upgrade" there is some sort of issue. Fortunately, it also seems like they correct the glitches fairly quickly, too, so that is a good thing.[b][/b] Thank you so very much for giving me the honor of BR.

I have had some slow downs, and was blaming it on my browser and on my equipment. I just put up with it, I guess.

Hi Hately, How are you? Hope you are doing well. I just 'signed in 'mylot and yesterday was a holiday for me so I didn't work in mylot on Sunday. I am posting the first reply for you. So far there is no problem in mylot and working properly if any loading problem is there I can understand only after posting this reply. Let met try. Have a nice day to you. Take care.

Hi Hatley, I've had it plenty in the past but my tip is to never actually log out of here once it is running fine. I close Mylot down whilst still logged in so don't ever sign back in again and that seems to keep the glitches down for me. Sometimes it is still slow though and generally speaking I've always find it takes longer to load than it does to type a response.
