Are things slow here at myLot or is it me?

United States
February 14, 2017 6:54am CST
Granted I don't move as fast as I used to...but I can still keep up with things. But the last few days it seems like there are only a few myLot members who are posting discussions. 'Few' doesn't mean only a handful - just less than normal. I am wondering why myLot is so quiet: * Could it be due to the weather? * Could it be due to the photo issue? * Could it be due to boredom? * Lack of ideas, thoughts, topics? * A combination of all the above? What do you think?

To me the site appeared to slow down some time ago.

@AbbyGreenhill I suppose it depends on who your friends are since we all have different ones.

@Asylum true - but then I move to most recent discussions and some of them are ok, but not always. I m picky!

some days are busier than others, and the image thing is still being annoying I think

This morning does seem a bit slow. Not sure why, maybe they met their payout goal and are no longer here. Some are like that. I seem to always be here. I like the slowness right now. It's allowing me to catch up with my notifications.

I like new stuff, some of the older stuff that you miss is probably not relevant any longer i"ve done that read older post and they make no sense things situations changed.

Yes, I noticed that the past three days have been slower. Perhaps just one of those momentary slumps the site experiences.

I think it is a combination of the above things you cited. Also, I guess people were waiting for the myLot logo to go green and show those beautiful dollar signs! Once people get paid, they go on full beast mode and start typing like crazy!

Being here everyday since January, I notice the dip in activity. It could be a combination of all of the above that you have mentioned or it could be everyone is busy preparing for Valentine's.

@AbbyGreenhill There are also the "Most Recent Discussions", when there is nothing from those we follow.

14 Feb 17
@LadyDuck I go thru most recent a few times a day and so many I have no interest in. There are things I am not interested in and I don't want to read something the try to come up with a comment...its too fake to me.

It could be a lot of things, ranging from being busy, good weather, bad weather, tax time, Valentines planning.

I try not to post more than once a day. The photo issue seems to be discouraging some Mylotters. The east coast of Canada has been experiencing a major storm...so I'm guessing New England is facing similar conditions. I'm sure some boredom comes into play as well. I've been busy so I pop on and off...no large chunk of time to sit and play on my iPad.

@AbbyGreenhill my area has no snow to speak of. What little there was mostly melted away to say.

Writer's fatigue? Photo issue not a big deal since there is a way out of the problem. Just make the image size under 55 kb.

@AbbyGreenhill _I use the "paint" program of windows. Resize the photo until you see the size indicated is 55kb or less. Hope this helps.

It's kind of hard to try to figure out why it gets slow and with bad weather you would think more people would post if they're stuck in the house.

You would think that wound't you - maybe in bad weather their internet doesn't work as well.

I know some said they wouldn't be posting till the photo issue got fixed so that might account for some of the 'quietness'.
