<p>For the last week (or so), I have been having a difficult time accessing the College Confidential website. It is slow, hangs, and many times just gives up because it can't find the server.</p>
<p>Anyone else experiencing this?</p>
<p>Yes, same here. “Can’t find server” and “website too busy…” For at least the last three or four days. Maybe they are doing some upgrades or something?</p>
<p>Not just you, I’ve had the same problems from Safari and Chrome.</p>
<p>I’ve had the issue as well…</p>
<p>i have definitely been experiencing similar problems and i’ve been using firefox, so i don’t think it’s a browser issue.</p>
<p>yes, it’s been very annoying when it’s so slow. Also when I post, it’d say that it didn’t get posted so after I resent the post, I’d find it’s been doubled.</p>
<p>yes- that too^- double posts.</p>
<p>I’ll send this thread to the webmaster and see if they will give us a status.</p>
<p>In the College Discussion forum Roger Dooley wrote CC has added new servers to keep up with the user demand. I imagine there will be some delays from time to time as they improve the site.</p>
<p>Busy times in general on the site are 11am-1pm EST and 9pm-1am EST. Beginning Tuesday of last week we experienced extreme issues with the site and during that time I was doing everything within my power to minimize downtime but there was no way to eliminate it. </p>
<p>On Thursday of last week, we made a change to the configuration of the servers which improved matters tremendously. Even so, I have continuously monitored the sites during those peak hours. I haven’t seen a single instance of “web site busy” or “Can’t find the server”. Can any of you confirm that the site improved starting on Friday of last week?</p>
<p>Also, to complete all of the site improvements, I will be taking the site down at 3am this Sunday for about 2 hours. Once this is complete, we will have added significant additional resources to the site in an effort to improve performance.</p>
<p>I just had a “database error” a few minutes ago.</p>
