I want to participate but can't

Post Reply New Topic

Up until a few days ago, I could read and post without too much delay. It was sometimes frustrating, but I persisted. At times I would have to refresh a page two or three times to get there, but I persisted.

The last 3 days or so, I think I've posted maybe twice, and one of those ended up a double post because I got an error and could not get a page refresh to see if my post made it. (I use 1 tab for reading and another tab for posting/replying.)

I think there's been only one period where it was like it was before. I've persisted up until now, spending 90% of my time waiting and refreshing, so that in a two hour period I may read two threads, try to reply and give up. Previously, in two hours I would have been able to read a dozen threads and post several replies.

I'll persist a little longer with reading, though the time wasted trying is getting me down. But as for posting, I just can't trust doing so anymore. I even have my doubts that this will post manage to get up.

Sorry to spill like this. I do appreciate the forum and enjoy it a lot. But the frustration is getting to me.

have you cleared cache and cookies, that kind of stuff that nobody ever does but it can sometimes be the issue?

I can relate. The problem is the site can't handle the load. I'm all but ready to walk out and never come back again. I'm pig sick of all the errors and timeouts and harassment from CloudFlare.

I've found a time of day where I have less trouble. The period is late morning my time. I'm on a week's leave at the moment, so I can take advantage, but after this week I won't be able to.
