I have checked every setting imagineable including my connection speeds and all seems fine. Yet each and every page I try to load on myLot is taking forever to come up? Just to post this very topic has taken me over 10 minutes! Is anyone else experiencing the same issues with myLot page loading as me lately?

James, I had this problem about a week ago and it got quite irritating actually. I for some time thought that it was something to do with my internet connection, but that was not the case. Hope this issue at your end gets resolved soon. Can't imagine how you may want to take out that frustration.

Hi alok, I checked every setting imagineable and even had our technicians check and re-check our connectivity but it was definitely not something at this end. It does seem better so far this week though so hopefully this will continue as it certainly IS frustrating. Thanks for responding and if it happens again I think I shall take out the frustration with a mylot tattoo on my butt like we discussed before!

Io have been on DSL for a couple days now. It does seem to be loading slower today then before!. Which is odd because it seems like less folks are on today! Maybe it will get better!

I am on an extremely fast broadband connection as I am linked back to my offices so it was all a bit bizzare really. Everythuing seemed OK yesterday though, so finger's crossed it will continue OK today as well! Thanks for responding Louise and I hope it speeds up for you too.

To put it simply fjaril each one is your download/upload speed and bandwidth so I would go for the highest connection speed that will fit into your budgets. Also check if your existing work connection allows for secondary connections linked to the same account as this will help you keep the same speeds and save money. I would be surprised if they didn't allow this.

I have no issues with hugs minivan! Here in Egypt I even have to cheek kiss! I am not one of those uptight males with an inability to express affection so bring it on! Just keep the bum patting to a minimum OK?

Hello, James! I am sorry, but myLot here is loading normally. Pretty strange, why would it take so much time there? Is the problem only in myLot or is it in every website you visit? I can't tell you what is going on. I just know that you should check if you are downloading anything, or using any programs that might be using your connection too much. Something like a Download Manager or anything like that. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

Hi munhozmib. Thankfully this was a problem I was facinf a few days back but all seems well again now! The problem WAS in mylot only and not affecting any other site at all which is why I figured it must be mylot congestion and not my own connectivity. Thanks for responding and I appreciate you letting me know that all is fine at your end.

hello james.isn't normal as before? i think the connection speed is always slow.I never think it is fast to me since i join the mylot comunity.So i feel it is normal.when i open the mylot page to try to respond one discussion, it always takes me several minutes to downloading the page. so i have accustomed this kind of situation.Maybe someday, it is slower.but it never is faster. i now. maybe we should offer some suggestion to mylot admin to update this websit speed a little fast.lol good luck

Hi successlog, It has not always been slow for me at all thankfully which is why I have found it so odd lately. I believe that others have messaged mylot admin in regards to this in the past so let's hope that they do take heed and issues like this can become a thing of the oast. The user numbers continue to grow so it would be a shame if they didn't do something about it now rather than later. Thanks for the response.

Hahahaha. Yes rkrish, maybe it is the slooooooow mylot speeds that caused this delayed discussion telecast! Whatever the issue was at the time it seemed to rectify itself pretty quickly so all ended up fine in the end. Thanks for the response.

It seems to be doing the same thing again over the last couple of days. I thought it was my computer and was going to put a discussion in but I came across this one so I realise other people were having a problem too. It is really annoying when you have to wait so long because people are trying to answer as many discussions as possible and you can only get a few in because of the holdup.

What's interesting from my end wanderer is that since I posted this discussion some time ago, I have not experienced any delays at all really. It seems odd that this is an issue that comes and goes for some people yet not for others. I wonder if it is common across regions or something? Thanks for the response and I hope your mylot speeds improve soon.

Yes posssibly you are right! I tooka long time to poat my last discussion as response to atopic of discussion. After typing when I tried topost the matter it took vry long time , which was almost ten timesmore tannormal time! It is good that before posting I copy the matter ! Thus today also I saved the matter and it has come my rescue as my page got disappeared completely from the screed. i had to reopen the discussion and reposted my discussion only to find that it has been reposted and it is appearing two times . this type of error occured second time within the span of one week with me!Yes I feel there is some thing gone wrong some where and this will be set alright soon by the Mylot experts.Till that time wish you a very very happy Mylotting! Thanks!

It seems some of us are having issues yet some of us aren't! It's all a bit strange really. I have checked all possible angles from the ISP settings to our actual servers and all of that is fine so let's hope that whatever it is then it is rectified soon. Thanks for the response AKRao and happy mylotting to you also!

I think myLot site is loading slowly. Because I see that there is other discussion about this. I notice it today and yesterday. It load the page very slow and I must wait for a few minute until it loads properly. I think it because much members is active in the same time in myLot. So myLot has a huge traffic. keep post Happy myLotting...

I did search for a similar discussion but didn't find any so this is why I thought I would ask myself! And now my own discussion ended up posted twice so I guess there are 3 discussions on this now! If it is myLot traffic congestion then I hope they find a way to overcome this sooner rather than later. Thanks for the response and for letting me know your own situation winzpc.

Hmmmm. Ok then. It seems to be affecting some but not all of us. Thanks for responding and letting me know tonytt. I am glad that things are at least OK at your end! Hopefully that picture loading issue was a one-off too.
