(vanity) Is anyone else noticing that Freerepublic is loading very slowly?

[hecht]

for the last week or two it is taking a long time to load ( if at all) What gives?

[iowamark]

The hamster is tired.

[thefactor]

I've noticed.

FR wouldn't even load on my phone the last coupla days.

[Doogle]

had...note: HAD that problem for two days....seems to have cleared up this away....

[radiohead]

I couldn’t get FR most of the day yesterday.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Yes.

[SMARTY]

Yup...

[MNJohnnie]

No everything is fine. It is just your imagination. /S

[BlessedBeGod]

I still can’t connect at all using Opera. I have to use IE instead.

[Retired Greyhound]

Are you logged on?

[Doogle]

I might add, I also did better using Explorer but now that it’s running better I’m back on FIREFOX

[mcshot]

Or the server needs oiling. Haven’t been able to get on for a few days. I’ve been lost and relegated to watching the oil leak.

Try moving from the Orchestra to the Balcony...

[ExTexasRedhead]

FireFox takes forever and ever; IE is very very slow. Any PC gurus know why and what we can do????

[hecht]

I noticed yesterday on my droid also

>> for the last week or two it is taking a long time to load

My pages load in a few seconds. Seems a little slow, but nowhere near the week or two page load times you’re experiencing! That’s series.

[Man50D]

It’s been loading extremely slow since FR was brought back on line yesterday.

[lbryce]

I along with others trying to log on couldn't get on to the Free Republic site the entire day Saturday and had experienced the same problem you've expressed. I did see a post that explained the slowdown due to Free Republic switching to a new IP #.
You might want to do a keyword search using +New + IP #, see what you find.
I don't experience the downloading problems anymore.

[Vision]

It took about 36 hours to load as of Sat night.

[Vaquero]

I could not get on all day yesterday.

it must be a preemptive strike by the zer0bambam regime getting ready to shut down the web as soon as the doooooshbags in congress pass that bill.

[haywoodwebb]

DannyH crashed the kernel . . .

[Joann37]

Yes - in fact I thought it may be down again today, but just slow, I guess.

[toolman1401]

Maybe Big Sis has ‘watch’ software running in the background to monitor happenings and chatter.

[ThomasMore]

Loading slow today.

[Delta 21]

too many vanities clogs the pipe.

[TSgt]

All the “Catholic Word of the Day” posts are choking it...

[TexGuy]

Yeah, It loads slowly for me too ... So I just keep hitting the re-load button over-and-over. ... *snicker*

[EQAndyBuzz]

There is a new IP address. It takes 16-24 hours to populate routing tables all over the place. In addition, clear your cache so your comp doesn’t go looking for the old IP address.

Ok, the hamster died.

[chris_bdba]

Did you miss the hard crash the site had Sunday morning? It was down nearly all day yesterday.

[Hattie]

Every page is like dial up internet.

[thefactor]

I also have the droid.

[massgopguy]

39 seconds from clicking on Post Reply until Your Reply screen comes up.

[Noumenon]

Pedal faster...

[TSgt]

It was slow for me earlier today.

[Upstate NY Guy]

Bush's fault.

[Reddy]

Same problem here, thought it was my computer.

[upsdriver]

I haven’t been able to get on here the last couple of days, until now.

[randog]

Their server is in Kalifornia and is, hence, over-taxed...;^)

[El Sordo]

I blame Obama.

[School of Rational Thought]

Yes.

It was down much of Sunday in total.

[honestabe010]

ya i actually just posted the same question, did not see this yet. I can not get it to load at all on my pc, earlier it was loading really slow. There are no problems on my MAC though.

[b4its2late]

Seems to be fine with me. In fact, my posts are showing up as soon as I hit the post button, where over the last few weeks, it was delayed in showing up in the thread.... Just from my uneducated view point.

[valkyry1]

Yes I have noticed, even diss-regarding all of the server crashes.

[LRS]

I thought maybe I was having a meth flashback...

[jellybean]

I'm using Opera and FR loads like greased lightening.

[jellybean]

DannyH crashed the kernel . . .

I think you're right! That was the thread I was on when FR went down at 2:45 am Sunday! He just wasn't getting the respect he deserves!

[Allegra]

It’s because of the oil spill.
