MyLot feels slower to you today?

Is it just me, or does MyLot feel slower to you today? Today I was just browsing through a bunch of websites, and everything was normal. My laptop was at its usual speed. Then I go to MyLot, and it takes a minute to load. I click a discussion, another minute. A reply, another minute. I go to a different website. Loads in seconds. Now, I'm wondering if MyLot is slower today for some reason or my laptop just doesn't feel like loading it faster. Your opinions?

Yes it is so slow about 5 hours ago. The page is no longer loading and just says connecting. However it is already been fixed, it is now back to normal. I also wonder what's the reason why it is slow awhile ago, probably on maintenance.

Welcome to Mylot, Elim! It's a great site when it is working at full capacity.

I even think that today there is something wrong with Mylot. It is not slow, but also I can't upload my photo to my discussion. This is so discouraging since I need that photo for my discussion so that people can understand it easily. Hopefully this problem will be solved soon. I love China

Yes. It is a mylot issue. I have told them about it before or asked if it was their site or an issue with me, but as it continued, and my other sites are not slow like this, then I know it is not an issue with my computer after all. I don't know why it is slower like this, but it is actually the slowest site that I use at all. Yahoo used to be that way for me also, but it is no longer since I started using mozilla firefox. May something will change for you and it will not be so slow. Good luck.

When it comes to mylot, I will have my slow periods and my fast ones. There are several factors that can come into play. First and formost, the time. When accessing mylot during certain times you're bound to hit periods of high traffic. During those periods it's bound to be slower on the server end due to so many users trying to access the site. If you notice the member counter, there are thousands of members. And, with this being said there are going to be times where the site experences high traffic. If this is the case, there is a strain on the bandwith, and it may slow down loading during those peek times. Now, sometimes your computer can behave differently on different sites based on what you're doing. The more you multi-task puts a strain on your own personal bandwith. With that being said, with all the tabs you have open you may be running low on reserves. In short testing the strength of your connection. In which case, slow down your online activity, give your connection a moment to recoop (restart it if you have to) and try again. Sometimes loowering the use of your connection will speed up other sites. Other then that, I honestly don't know what to say. Site speed continues to be an issue, but it's something that is trying to be improved upon. Key words "trying to". Just be paicent and consideryourself lucky you're only waiting a minute. My connection ultra suckes sometimes and I get "page load " errors. Take it in stride.

Oh my was it ever slow. I immediately went to other sites and they loaded quickly so I figured it was a myLot issue and left for a long while. I see that all is back to normal now, and hope it stays this way as boy was it slow.

I still feel a little lag. Lets say MyLot's speed before was '7', then it dropped to '3', and now it feels like a '5'. I don't know why using numbers makes it easier for me to explain, but I guess its because it represents a value.

Gosh yes, though not as slow as before, still somewhat slower then usual. Something must be interfering with the site and sadly we have to hold on until they repair it and hopefully soon. It is much too slow for my liking and signing off again soon.

Yes. It has been going extremly slow for me too. I am wondering why this is happening. But it is only mylot that is going slow. I have various tabs open and they load quite quickly but on mylot it takes about a minute to load.

Actually I didn't notice! I was downloading a 4.3 Gb DVD so I thought that was slowing it down. But this response box certainly took a while to come! I was thinking it is slow interest wise, but quite honestly, I haven't been taking much notice today.

I've noticed that Mylot is a lot slower than some of the other websites. It's pretty fast for me right now, but it does slow up without any notice. It seems that it is faster now that I updated my computer with all of its updates this morning. It was slow before.

May be your laptop is slow. I said this because I was yesterday surfing on MyLot using my laptop and the page was very slow. Now I'am using the computer in the office and MyLot is running very good.

You might be feeling and observed that.I keep getting slow loading on mylot but I cant say its only with mylot normally it is because of the connection that I use.So for me its hard to judge at any particular time mylot was slow or my connection..?.I blame to my connection first.Its not up to the standards guys.

Yes, it is quite slow. Not only that, I also get an error that the page could not be displayed when I reply to a discussion. There might be something wrong with the server.

I had that problem last night and each time I had to log in again and I got the message the site doesn't exist. But I have to admit it could be my computer or internet connections as well. At the moment it's working fast with me.
