All week I've spent more time looking at this screen than anything else. And they want us to donate!
Hell that's like buying a copy of Windows-paying someone to aggrevate you.
I have four Browsers on my PC (IE 8, Firefox 15.0.1, Google Chrome 22.0.1229.94 m & Safari 5.05)
It seems that GC 22.0.1229.94 m is working best with FR right now, but still slow and I have a fast PC and a fast connection. (15 MBPS+)
I have to tell you that I’m having the same problems. I’m addicted to FR and hate when it is real slow and I have to hit “refresh” often, in order to get the page to appear. Takes so long then that I keep going to the kitchen for a snack and hope it’ll be there when I get back. I’m getting fatter by the day . . . :^(
Get the Dragon Mental Projection Program. Attach a few small wires to the cortex from your computer and simply think the message and skip all the servers and error messages.

God love ya’! FR had excellent service after the East Coast power went down, curiously, and now that it’s been restored, we are back in the pits, guaranteed no access on election day, or possibly by even tomorrow by most ordinary users.
It is not your computer. The Robinson’s are agonizing over the problems too, but the solutions are in the future. Me? I would light a match to it and start all over with the stuff it takes to perform. People will pay for up for this awesome format and advertising is a non issue for me, if it means ordinary accessibility like all other sites.
But don’t expect access starting tomorrow, if FR behaves as it did for the debates. Several have just earlier said our sayonaras for the next few days, in fact. Hang in there.
Too many people trying to log in at the same time?
I’m not having any problems. I did clean up per suggestions that JimRob put out last week, so maybe that helped.
No Problem from the democrap state of MA
A day without FreeRepublic.com is a day without sunshine! I am sure they are working on the problem.
Has it suddenly gotten better in the past 10-15 minutes? Or am I experiencing faster loading since I disabled all sidebars? (I had left the Latest News as Jim does, but have since disable that too)
I’m in Australia, been a member since 2003. The last few weeks have been almost impossible.
But late in the afternoon Aussie Eastern Daylight Savings time, it suddenly comes good!
(But there’s no one there to comunicate with, because all you Americans have gone to bed...)
Normal speed and posting right now. Many timeouts 2 hours ago.
Maybe they got the cord stuck bask where it belongs.
I haven’t had any problems this week& am loading faster since I took Jim’s recommendation on reducing the extras around the edges!
Very slow this morning...seems to be better now. I’m in SoCal so maybe less traffic cause east coast has gone to bed. :-)
Are you logged in?
Hundreds of idiots like yourself flooding FR with inane dribble!
Coincidence?
How many out there who are having problems have an e-mail program/site open on another tab? Try closing it and see if that helps.
