Anybody Having Problems With ActBlue?....

I am trying to make a contribution to Bernie and the last step when one clicks 'donate' goes to a 'processing your contribution' page. I've been on this page now for close to 10 minutes and it is still saying 'processing your contribution'. I'd like to think they are backed up by a large number of people making contributions - but I'm wondering if something is either wrong at ActBlue or my computer. I don't know what to do as this is hanging up my computer. Any suggestions or thoughts on this?

I have read many posts on this site that during heavy traffic it takes a long time

for processing.

They are probably being trounced today because they are trying to break last months donation record.

I have read it takes up to half an hour sometimes for processing.

Maybe someone will give you a more direct answer.

Have a great day.

Thanks for supporting Bernie.

The confirmation page didn't appear, but when I checked the next day, my contribution went through. I think I got an email, too.

Usually when I contribute via ActBlue, it's pretty fast. Like someone else said, it could be just busy with lots of contributions.
