Hi, all. I just want to remind you that I very often cannot post on the message board during the workday, as the high security software at work interferes with online activity. Now and then I get through, but not often! The company was recently sold to General Electric, so that may change in the near future, allthough it could be even worse!
For now, please be patient with me. I'm not ignoring you, just can't always respond.

Look at this!!
I've been informed by the Moderator that we will not be getting a second cl- on this board unless we can increase our posts to 400 per week.
Makes sense. Our board has been pretty slow. But I've also noticed many of the other boards I frequent here are also going through an extremely slowwww phase right now. So it's not just here...
One problem that is plaguing all the boards, I think, is that new posts take forever to show up, and then when you've read them, they take forever to be considered "read" so you don't keep opening posts you've already read because they're still labeled new. UGH! That is such a waste of time. >>:-\\ Apparently there is a bug and the techs are trying to fix it, but it seems to get fixed for half a day or so, then it's back to the same problem. I hope they fix it soon!!!
I will continue to try to introduce new threads, but I don't seem to have the knack of choosing anything people find really interesting enough to post to. I'll keep trying, though, when I run across something. :P I'll try to find something for the religious news section, too.
Hugs,
Gypsy

Actually some of it might be weather related. Some people might not have power or something. I think the Carolina's are the only part of the country that haven't been hit by tornadoes nor are buried under 2 feet of snow. :P
I'm sure that they'll be back! I hope everyone is okay!

That's a good point, about the weather. Sitting here in California, even with some rain, mixed with blue skies and sunshine, it's hard to keep in mind that a lot of the rest of the country is having horrid weather! <:=O

I've noticed the same trend of slowness across the whole Village.
I've pieced together the reason I cannot post at work.
Bink, can you shut off the Javascript in your browser at work? I shut it off and then there are NO blinking ads or popups. Those irritating nasties require Javascript, but Javascript is NOT needed for you to sign in, read or post. The thing you have to remember is that you cannot access your profile or board settings or outline view. If you have the paid for extras, they probably won't work, either, without Javascript. I don't have a paid account, so for me it's no big deal. The only thing you have to remember is that when you are previewing a post, and want to go back to change something, you must use your browser back button, and not the Edit Message link, which also will not work without Javascript.
I even have DSL, but with Javascript loading is jerky and lags with those ads. Just not worth it to me. I can read & post and that's all I want to do. :P
Hope this idea may help!
