Throughout the entire day I have been attempting to log onto Free Republic. I had not been successful until a short while ago. And although I have been able to log on, every time I click on a thread my pc says I've timed out. It takes at least 5 minutes for one thread to actually connect.
Has anyone been dealing with the same problems today? Is Free Republic being attacked by hacks?
Thanks for any responses.
I had some difficulties earlier. I got a proxy connection error plus the slow page loads, too.
Yes. Many connection problems with FR today.
Yes....I have been having trouble longing on to Free Republic—abandoned the effort several times today. Would not log on....When I finally did log on, some articles would not come up...something happened to connection. I think there are a lot of left wing radicals that hate this site and I have thought several times that it was being hacked.
Uhhh, yep. That’s why there are at least two other vanities out there like: Is it just me, or is FreeRepublic not working right?
Yes!
The site has been exceptionally slow for Months. And it seems every few days or so it will just STOP for an hour or so. No idea why. Just overloaded? Seems like we’ve had a LOT more activity in the past, so that shouldn’t be it. I guess it just could be load wherever it’s hosted. But you are not alone. Many people have posted about the lags. 504, 503, script errors, and of course double posting.
Hope it is figured out soon.
PS: Posted this three times.... or tried to.
I hope Jim and his family is ok. It’s not like him to not post something to explain what’s happening.
I could log on OK but by this late this afternoon, it would take 3-4 minutes to open a thread, also got service not available try later...its now 2 30 in the morning and this opened up quick....
No, it’s only 3 or 4 of you having trouble. You must have really aggravated someone!
It has taken over 20 minutes for this thread to finally pop up.
I know that some of you have said that similar complaints have been posted. In case you failed to read my post, I haven’t been able to browse Free Republic due to the problems, which is why I posted this thread.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this comment takes 20 minutes to post.
Itis all my fault. I will send more money! You all should too.
It was sluggish earlier this evening too. Internet troubles?
Yes it slow and non-responsive at times. I got Some kind of sever error awhile ago. Also The server Clock has been gaining time for weeks. When I first noticed it it was about 5 minutes fast. Now it is seven minutes fast. That cannot be too good for things. Just look at the time stamps on your posts or go to the activity screen where you will see that you really can travel ahead in time.
Internet health report looks good, so unfortunately, must assume it’s at FR.
I've been waiting for over 20 minutes and I'm still waiting for your post to show up. You sure you're logged in?
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE LOGGED IN???
I wouldn’t be able to post a thread if I wasn’t logged in.
Well, this sure took a heck of a long time just to get to this page.
I’ve been having trouble all day. I haven’t seen any info on what the problem is. If someone knows, I wish they would post it in breaking news. LOL.
