Oh oh, this site is already coughing

[question everything]

During the past few weeks I would have instances when after hitting "Post Message" button, I would either get a message from Firefox that the site was not responding and to try again - which I did and it worked. Or I would just face an empty screen. Going back and hit that button again would result in duplicate messages.

A few minutes ago I got an error message, went back, hit it again, and got one of those messages where my post is in bold. From previous experience I knew that the message was posted so I just retreated to the forum where, indeed, it was.

However, it went through one of those alternative routes where it is not listed under the "latest" and not under "My DU."

And we are still six hours away from the first results...

Sigh.

Skinner posted a little while back that they have 2 more servers on line...

...from 4 to 6. Provided their power circuit stays up, we shouldn't have many problems tonight, besides the occasional hiccup.:thumbsup:

1. Buckle your seatbelt!

I get that behavior a lot actually, sometimes in the middle of the night. But tonight when returns start coming in, it'll be crazy.

4. I hate that I'm going to get locked out

but I can't justify donating right now when my family is so broke right now. The five bucks a star would cost me will buy a gallon of milk and loaf of bread next week.
