[OKNancy]

14. all better now

[kentauros]

11. For me, it's been like this since last night.

Not all the time, but it started late-night, not sure when exactly. I don't know if it's hurricane related or DU-traffic related. Maybe Elad knows

[LoisB]

12. Yes. Very slow - thought it was me.

[marions ghost]

13. Yeah---like it's blown a circuit somewhere...

thanks for posting Will. I thought the problem was in my puter.... was gonna reboot....

Still not good--I wonder if this has to do with the storm?

[Buddaman]

15. Did for me............Hate it when that happens...nt

[HubertHeaver]

16. Maybe we lost a bank of servers on the East Coast

[noel711]

17. Everything is slow...

must be the storm; I am here in eastern PA,
and awaiting the apocalypse.

[Irishonly]

19. still is a little slower than normal

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. Yes. I think my DU intertube is clogged.

Hairballs, maybe.

[quinnox]

21. its very slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[cilla4progress]

22. definitely

a lot lately. slow server, i guess?

[janx]

23. Some minutes ago, yes.

I had trouble logging in. It's fine now though.

[glacierbay]

24. Yep

I kept getting a connection problem message. Working ok now.

[Tsiyu]

25. And here I was bitching at Norton! And it was you, Will!

I'm still in the Dark Ages here, on dialup, so I just get summarily DUMPED when there's a slowdown, and none of the pages will open. But I was blaming Norton.....

Glad it's not me....

Stay safe you'ns

[sinkingfeeling]

26. Yes, was taking forever to move to the next thread.

[kestrel91316]

27. Became unavailable to me for a few minutes. PANIC!!!!

But I'm fine now, thank you.

[LiberalLoner]

28. Yes

[hifiguy]

29. Yep. Getting lots of "cannot display the page"

responses.

[old guy]

30. Yes.

[TrogL]

31. I think most or all of the servers are in Washington

Probably being affected by the hurricane or drowned in traffic associated with it.

[justiceischeap]

32. A lot of East coast DU'ers may be off work

so besides the weather, there's probably more traffic overall, which can slow things down.

[Beachy]

33. Yep..

...tried getting on here a few times last hour and couldn't(got all paranoid that Karl Rove is somehow doing it!!).

[Jersey Devil]

34. DU server Finnegan Pin is clogged with Nooblin

Skinner is using a leaf blower to clear out the clog

[laundry_queen]

35. Off and on all day.

Generally it's been wonky for me ever since the switch to DU3, especially when I can't sleep, there's always a 30 min window (around 2 am mountain time) when I can't get in at all. But the last week has been slow and today is the worst so far. I was just thinking it was the wifi where I am, as it is much slower than home so I was blaming it on that, but sometimes clicking on a thread I get nowhere (the dreaded "IE cannot find the webpage&quot and I have to click again.
