For some time now I have noticed that every couple of days I have extreme difficulties logging onto myLot. Its only in the mornings between 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. If I choose to respond to a discussion it will just say connecting and my myLot profile doesnt come up. I first thought it was my computer until I got my new laptop. It does the same thing. I have tried other computers out of the home. Same thing. I am thinking that maybe that's the time they upgrade the site. Its so annoying because I love to get into myLot as soon as I get up. I really hated it this morning because I opened my email first and my first mail was a fellow myLotter who had started a great discussion. I was dying to respond. Does anyone else experience this? Please tell me yes so I know Im not losing my mind. Scratch that I know I am a little off but I havent reached hallucinations as of yet. Or so I thought.....dl

Check your internet connection. I have had that happen on several occasions, and every time, it has been the connection.

Hey,
No not really, I actually can always get on myLot for most of the day. I have only ever had one problem where myLot was stuffing up, and that only happened once for me. Also, it was because the site was down, not my Internet connection. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

yes i had this same problem yesterday.i faced it twice after i rejoined the site after two years and it may be due to the heavy load on their servers.otherwise mylot loads quite fast.thanks

yea,sometimes i do in the morning.
i think a lot of people sign on before work or school,so as a consequence,
it bogs the servers.
i've found after 10 am it's usually better though.

I don't maybe because i only get on mylot at night time when everyone is asleep. Its quiet and i can discuss on here without anyone bugging me. But my personal opinion it can be your internet connection your internet provider servers can be messing up around that time zone. So check your internet connection.

Yes, this has happened several times recently. The pages fail to load and it's not my Internet connection either as I have no trouble with any other website. This is either due to site maintenance or the server is being overloaded by the level of traffic.

Yep think your hallucinating :) Not really, honestly I can't say I've notice a certain time of day where there's been a problem but then I really have not been able to spend much time regularly on myLot so very well could be. One thing you might do is check your stats before going to bed and when you get up in the morning if you can't get on or have a problem very first thing you do get on check to see if they've been updated. Updating the system is the only thing I would figure.

Yeah, im also having a hard time during morning. Maybe because this is the time of the day when majority of us logs in and participate. There are also time when youre already logged in and participating, it takes a long time for it to load to the next page.

Yes I have found that certain times of the day mylot is very slow, I think it's because they are experiencing heavy use. Do you know which country mylot comes from?

These are common server problems with every site sometime or other and so nothing to worry. Keep at it and enjoy yourself.

Yes I also experience that every afternoon here in my place. It was annoying because I had already set a goal everyday. It keeps me delaying, I want to make more responses but logging in is a problem. The webpage is already done but it has nothing in content. Then how can I achieve my goal earnings everyday if it will continue. Is there anything that we can do? What do you think is the problem?

There will always be a time of day when the site is slow due to the number of uses logging into Mylot, although I would not have expected 6.30 AM in the USA to be a busy time. Another reason could be the contention rate of your ISP, which is the number of people using the lines in your area at a certain time, but this would affect all sites and not just Mylot.

I am not consistent as to when I get on. I did have that problem on the last day of the month last time, and figured everyone was just out trying to earn a last few pennies. Frustrating.

Yes. I have been having this problem every night now. It loads very slow for me and sometimes not at all. I wait for about an hour or so and come back to it. It seems to load better at other times of the day.

Since I have been a member here I never had this problem until today. About an hour ago it took a lot of time for a page to load or it gives an error. So I couldn't reply to discussions. The problem was only with myLot since other websites worked fine so I know it's not my internet connection or computer.
Now it seems that the site is again working fine.
Have a nice day!

Well yes i know exactly what you are trying to say........i have been facing the same problem since the time i joined mylot, well i think it is because of the heavy traffic at some times.........if you see the mylot population thousands of members join in every day........so the site is bound to get slow, i just hope mylot upgrades it server soon so that it can accommodate heavy traffic and no problems faced by members like you and me.....
It gets irritating when you are typing a particular discussion and the connection resets because the mylot server did not respond, and if you have not copy/pasted it then you have to type it over all again......
But still i hope mylot knows this issue and is working on it, i just cant afford to leave mylot because of this issue because i am in love with it !!!!!
Have a nice day !!!!
