I know several people have been complaining about the speed of Soulcast lately. And I just have to do it too! It feels like I've been totally out of touch with most people here this past week, but that's because I can't read anyone's posts in order to comment on them.

I've been pretty busy at work, but whenever I get some downtime, I like to pop on here and read a little and leave a few comments throughout the day. But the way it's been lately, I'm lucky if I get one post open and one comment submitted in the span of 30 minutes. That's not even an exaggeration!

I've had to resend messages that take 10 minutes to sit there, and then it just tells me that there was an error. So I have to go back through the process all over again. I really don't have time to do that. It's very frustrating. And I think we're all in agreement that it's just this website and not our internet connections.

Soulcast please fix your website!!!!!

I love this place and I've missed being able to really interact with anyone here. There's a lot I've missed, but not for lack of trying to catch up. I've been here every day, but half the time, no one sees me because my comments never post. And then I give up.

I miss you guys though. I hope everyone has been doing well, since I really wouldn't know since I can't read your posts. I was hoping today would be better, but so far I managed to send one message and make two comments, and it's been almost 45 minutes now.

I'm frustrated and I needed to rant. I know I can't be the only one! Bah!

I love you Soulcast. I really do. But you suck right now. Get thee server to a doctor pronto! I'm missing my Soulcast fix.

    I'm with you!  I've refreshed so many times it's stupid at this point.  I've deleted cookies and whatever else there is...brownies?  It took me several minutes to get a comment to go through to Polars post. 
    THIS is why I've been reading more than commenting and not writing anything of my own. 
     
    FRUSTRATED!
     
    Does the Soulcast_Help post only exist as a joke?

    my comment WAS NOT there a second ago, and I was just going to re-write and then "POOF" there was my comment.  WHAT THE F$%^!

    soulcast seems fine to me... but yeah i agree it's a little slow...
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jun 22, 2008....
    I agree....ugh. I'm not a very patient person in general, so it really gets on my nerves.

    When I can individually refresh every one of the 11 tabs I have open, SC first, and the other ten have all finished a long time before SC does, it's frustrating!

    Okay I've got 5 minutes before I have to shut this down and go to lunch...we'll see if this comment posts in a timely manner!

    daily--I know someone posted to SC_help about this, and I really hope they do something! If enough of us complain about it, I hope they'll listen. It's very frustrating to not be able to get anything to work like this. Sometimes my comments don't go through and I just don't have time to resubmit them :-(

    queen--You're lucky if it's running good for you. Today has been mostly bad for me, with a few good moments tossed in.

    Infernal--The other day, I literally got up from my desk, went to the break room at work, made my lunch in the microwave, sat back down again, and my comment was still sitting there, un-submitted!

    ginger--The place is just full of glitches right now. It's frustrating! When I click on a post, I have to make sure it's something I REALLY want to read, because I know I'll be stuck looking at it for 15 minutes until I can navigate elsewhere :-P

    I totally agree et, and I think it's a serious problem. I think more and more people are spending less and less time here because it is so frustrating.  I know that I am.  It reminds me of the old days of dial-up.... except dial-up was faster!
  • Mamie said on Jun 22, 2008....
    ditto from me, let me see how long my comment takes to load...oy. hey et, let me send my best wishes to you now...in case it is like september before we can catch each other! sc, get your sh** together!
  • secretlife said on Jun 22, 2008....
    i don't have alot of time to spare these days either, but every time i've come here this past week, it's sooooooooooooooo slow i can't take it.
     
    they really need to do something.
     
     
  • quietone said on Jun 23, 2008....
    Maybe if we all do a "10 a day" to the SC big boss.. who ever it concerns will take notice then???  I am sick of it too.  I am ready to try anything to get who ever is in charge of keeping this site going to do something..... or at least explain...... ANYTHING~~~
  • pickersplock said on Jun 23, 2008....
    It seems fine right now, but I've said that before!
    Hopefully they've fixed the little imp!
  • evil_twin said on Jun 23, 2008....
    actorguy--It is frustrating! And I do think dial up was actually a lot faster too!

    Mamie--I hope we see each other before September :-P

    secret--I hope they do something too. It seems to be frustrating all of us and making it so no one even wants to come here.

    quietone--It would be very nice if Soulcast would poke their head out and at least explain what the problem is! If everyone is complaining, they should at least say something.

    pickers--Don't jinx it! :-P It does seem good right now. But I've thought that before too, and the next time I log on, it takes 15 minutes to load up. *sigh*

    I've given up a few times on trying to surf this site. It's too unpredictable. And the other night someone sent me a message and it just disappeared. 

    So they had to write it all over again. But this time, we switched to email. At least that works when you want it to!
  • Eilan said on Jun 23, 2008....
    Seems like it's been worse on the weekends.
  • CreativeWoman said on Jun 23, 2008....
    I have had it be very slow for me too.  It takes forever sometimes.  Trying to look at posts with photos is sloooooooooooooooooooow.   I hope they can do something about it soon too.
