Slow on mylot

No, I think it might be a combination of myLot and the changes they have made as well as being on dial-up connection oldboy. At least that is how I am thinking it is because I am also on dial-up connection as you know and it is slow for me. I was visiting friends a short while ago and used their computer and it was still slow but not as bad as when I am at home. These friends have broadband connection, and that is generally faster. So, I think it must be a combination of both, because it is certainly much slower to load a page when I am at home on dial-up. It might have something to do with the adverts that they have here, and I really do find them annoying that they keep on coming up all the time. All I can suggest is that you run spybot and adaware to make sure there is nothing lurking around on your computer to slow it down. Then do a scan of your hard disk, and dump all the rubbish that it brings up from temporary internet files etc. That might speed things up a little bit, although there is no guarantee of that happening of course. Other than that, maybe go to broadband, if you can get a good service at a reasonable price that is.

Maybe your computer is running other tasks? I find I will bog out completely, and then it dawns on me my antivirus is running a system check in the back ground. It could be something like that, or something simply hanging in your computer? In these situations, just restarting the computer can help.

Mylot has always been pretty slow, right from the day when I registered here on mylot several months ago. I am on broadband cable connection and still it takes a while to turn pages so I can't even imagine your situation since you ar eon dial-up. But what you can do to compensate for the slow speed is to open up 5-6 or more mylot windows and respond to different discussions in different windows. This way wyhile one response is being posted, you can start giving another response to another discussion in another window. This is what I do to respond to as many discussions as I can. It may be a confusing at the start but you will catch on as time goes by.

actually i had thought i responded to this...hhhmm. i remember it. but sometimes its slow here and in other websites i visit. yes, i was on dialup for yrs. it sucked!

I think myLot has been slow in general - I'm not sure why when it's mainly textbased and it does not really host a lost of processes or a lot of images. And to think that we're not allowed to put html code in our responses, so processing should be really easy from their side. Thanks for the comment on my discussion!

Yes, there are times that mylot is very slow. Maybe because there are many members who were online that time. But I am not really sure. I don't really think that because you use dial - up it's what makes it slow.

Even with the broad band it plays havoc at times.Well there may be several factors for this glitch.I always think that there may be a mad rush to mylot from different people at the same time and the traffic causes the slowness.

Well, personally, I have been having Issues with this site, and I am not on dialup either for the last week or so on and off, so not sure what is going on here. I feel they might be having to work on the site again due to the Growth, etc. Who knows really, but I for one am hoping they get it fixed for Good again soon, as it can be quite annoying.

Today i have the feeling with you.It take me more time to open mylot.I think it is my internet problem,because it is ok for me before.

Sometimes Mylot can behave just like one of us women on our menstrual cycle lol. A bit slow, a bit frazzled and can make our payments go up and down when she is in pissy mode lol. I am sure Mylot is a female hahahaha. One day she was so sow, I just could not load the pages, one morning it took me one hour to mylot one page lol..
