I am having the same problems. Four trys to get into this thread and 3 tries to make a reply.
save yourself any further frustration and aggravation
GOP Briefing Room and Daily caller
I’ve noticed a slight forum lag lately but no more than a few seconds to log on or load a page and this is with a marginal speed Verizon DSL modem.
I use Firefox, latest version, but am posting this on WiFi with an iPad and still really no issues.
Wish I could help more.
It has been terrible since the debates and seems to be getting worse as time goes on. I’m not a technical person, so I have no idea what is going wrong. Could we be under attack by the Left?
If this is a co-ordinated DDoS attack, then it’s been a sustained effort for five weeks.
I don’t have enough tinfoil to think that the Leftists are maintaining a weeks-long cyber-assault.
Have you done the things that Jim Robinson has recommended?

Member since 1998 here. I’m in Illinois and FR is so slow here even this evening that I doubt it will be of much use come Tuesday evening.
FR has been slow and/or crashing for months now. I'm ready to give up... Grrr!
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Does anyone think this could be some kind of denial of service attack from the left? I’m being serious. Is there some kind of massive hit on the servers from mischievious parties that is causing this?
The 386 server needs to be upped to 1mb of ram.
Just do what we all do:
Reload lots, push each button 15 times rapidly.

Yeah, it’s torture to get in.
It’s the backbone for a great deal.
Many of the problems can be tracked here:
I’m in No. California and it is inconsistent here. I can usually access FR in the morning, but afternoon is iffy, and the last few days, it’s very hard to get any response at all at night, until maybe 11 or so Pacific time. (I’m surprised I can get on now!) My computer just tells me “website not available” or whatever its tech jargon is.
Is this some sort of denial of service attack, or a natural consequence of having so many people trying to get on the same site at the same time? I’m not angry, I’m just glad FR exists! But I *am* disappointed because I really doubt I’ll be able to get on at all on Tuesday afternoon or evening, and I expect to be a basket case. It would be really, really nice to have the company of my fellow FReepers then!!!!!
I know during the debates, FR choaks a lot. If I was not so financially strapped and looking for work (I do have an interview this week) I would have donated. Still, I hope FR remains up during election night.
I am in AL and it is fine except when I try to reply to something. Guess no one wants to read what I write. : )
I’m in North Texas, very slow here, very hard to post. At times I can’t load pages at all.
