Is DU nearly, completely hosed for you too ?

[Trajan]

Geeez ..... I can barely get my toe through the door ....

I see no one else complaining, so I am assuming it may be my end ....

So .... Is anyone else experiencing problems getting DU to comply ?

Any 'Failed To Connect' messages ?

When it does connect: Is it coming up in HTML, with images and elements missing ?

Yeah ... That's me ....

[annabanana]

1. It is a bit hinky tonight...

my avatar is on vacation... double posts... fail to connect notices..

I guess we're just busy.

[City Lights]

2. Yes, and it's very frustrating.

Just about everything I click on results in the same connection failed message you're getting.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

3. yes, it's barely functional for me right now

Lots of failed to connect messages, lots of really slow hourglass action. Replying to this post took about 30-40 seconds before I could actually start typing.

[fishwax]

4. yeah, it's been glitchy for me too

[MichiganVote]

5. Lots of connection problems.

[liberalmuse]

6. Just got one now.

Apparently you aren't the only one. There's probably a lot of traffic leading up to the election.

[libnnc]

7. It's buggy for me too

[Bonescrat]

8. Yeah it took a couple of minutes to post this...

Much slower than normal.

[Tindalos]

9. I've been getting that for at least a week now.

Sometimes it just loads half the page and then stops. I think it's due to high traffic but I'm not a computer person.
At least I know it's not just me.

[Tallison]

10. Worse tonight

Thought it was my connection :shrug:

[Tindalos]

31. Yes, it's getting worse.

Maybe denial of service attacks? The place has been crawling with troll lately. I think they've switched to plan B.

[ColbertWatcher]

11. In what respect, Charlie?™ n/t

[Trajan]

14. .

[ColbertWatcher]

35. LOL!

[footinmouth]

12. Very slow for me too

Pages are hardly loading at all.

[underseasurveyor]

13. Started late last night for me

and still continues to be a bit buggy. I'm getting the same kinds of messages and image problems you're getting.

[gateley]

15. Others have mentioned it AS WELL AS experiencing similar problems on

other progressive sites. :tinfoilhat:

[Trajan]

20. May be a good sign ?

I hope ...

[gateley]

30. Or too much caffeine. Or whatever. nt

[dweller]

16. This document contains no data.

freguently getting this message.

and slow
dp

[Mojorabbit]

17. Messing up bigtime for me tonite. nt

[lynettebro440]

18. Yes me too

keep having to reload.

[Trajan]

19. I noticed the new version of Firefox ....

Will linger in the task queue after I have closed the application ...

It has hung up a few other sites : I have been having to delete it manually ....

My performance improved, but it is still whacked out buggy ....

I guess we will have to live with this until mid November ...

[Canuckistanian]

25. I thought so. I just got 3.0.1 on the weekend

All of a sudden, I'm getting slow or incomplete page loads and connection errors.

Other than that, I like the new version.

[samuraiguppy]

21. me too.

glad I am not the only one--I thought my computer was going screwy

[DesertRat]

22. Yes, other's are noticing it too

[Canuckistanian]

23. I've been getting incomplete page loads for days

I thought something was wrong with my dialup connection.

But pings and audio streams are working fine.

[ThePhoenix]

24. All Is good with me

[Trajan]

26. One lucky person ....

in a sea of misery ....

[ThePhoenix]

29. One lucky person?

I suspect that most of the people here on DU are not having a Issue loading DU, or any other web sites.

[begin_within]

27. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a calculated denial of service attack by right-wing hackers.

What would surprise me is that right-wingers would even know how to do it themselves. They would have to outsource it to India.

[malaise]

28. It's been glitchy for some time

My tin foil hat is beginning to wonder if there is interference.

[uppityperson]

32. I have a hard time getting it to load, then BIG fonts, then it posts replies as OPs.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. extremely buggy

I thought it was safari, behaving a LITTLE better under firefox

[Raksha]

34. VERY buggy for me today and tonight...

constant page load errors. I even got one when I hit the reply button to type this reply! It seems like I have to hit the reload button on every page, because it refuses to come up the first time.

[L. Coyote]

36. Working fine.

Suffered a few wi-fi disconnects, interrupting YouTubes viewing there, not here.

'Failed to connect' means your request did not make it to the destination, not necessarily that the destination failed to connect you.

[Jamastiene]

37. I'm having trouble tonight too.

It's slow and I keep getting error messages about the page not loading.
