Is it only me? Why is it taking so long to refresh a page on Free Republic. forum? It’s terrible. Please ask Achilles and Pericles, KK. Dr. Nick
They say it’s a latency problem, exacerbated by FR’s antiquated software architecture. Then they went back to shredding the table napkins out of the dining table holder.
We’ll have to wait for the Cali crew to wake up.
Yesterday, both Hubby and I just closed our respective devices and stopped FReeping because no page would load. (It’s better today — so far.)
I don’t know if it’s on my end but the post button has been very sluggish lately. I see a lot of multiple postings which may indicate the problem is nit unique to me and causes hitting post more than once.
It's been that way for months, some days worse than others.
Why?
Ask yourself: does Free Republic get more, or less, use today than it did a year ago, or five years ago?
Probably not more.
Is Free Republic under more, or fewer, internet assaults today compared to a year ago, or five years ago?
Probably not more.
Are Free Republic's financials stronger, or weaker, than they were a year ago, or five years ago?
Probably not stronger.
What's a good way to save money?
Cut back on rented computer processing power.
The less processing power in FR's data center, the longer each query takes.
So, when next we see a Free Republic fundraising campaign, think: if I give more, FR can speed things up, but if I don't, it just gets slower & slower, just like me these days.
