I'm having trouble posting replies or really manuvering around AW lately. The site logs me out, its running really slow, and sometimes not responding at all. I have to hit the POST or SUBMIT MESSEGE buttons twice just to get it to work.

Is it my computer, internet connection, or the site?


Thank you much :)

What browser are you using?

Try clearing your cookies (Ccleaner is good for this) and logging back in again.

It's definitely not the site cos I haven't heard of anyone else having a problem. You probably do need a cookie clear out.

I'd recommend clearing out your cookies and emptying your cache while you're at it. This clears up quite a few problems.

Golly, I wonder what emptying the top of my desk might do?

Maryn, scared to find out

Yeah, cookies, probably. See here: How do I clear cookies? (http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_usage#faq_vb3_cookies)

It isn't the site.

I'd suggest clearing your cookies, after first making sure you know your login for AW.

I'd then Empty my Browser cache, and completely quit the browser.

If you're still experiencing problems after that, please post and let us know.

Wow, I was actually right about the cache! Go figure, huh?

Maryn, off to buy a lottery ticket

Okay, I deleted cookies. It seems to be running a little better.

Is there anything else I should do?


Thanks :)

I would also empty the cache, and restart the browser.

Okay, guys. I've cleared cookies and all that, run the disk clean-up and difrager. I hope this works better now. Anything else I should I haven't thought of?

Have you donated to AW?

For the last few days AW has been a little sluggish.

We're going to take AW offline for a few hours this weekend to groom the hamsters that run the server. There will be a specific announcement about when.

Your sysadmins are hamsters?

That explains it...

I hope they're cute when you're done.

Have the hamsters gone on strike because we haven't provided them those KIA Souls to enjoy? :D
