For a couple of weeks now, I’ve been getting into forums and the loading stops. Am I the only one having this problem? It doesn’t happen on any other online site. I use a Mac.
me too.
me thinks that the servers and fiber optics are too jammmed.
Parent’s forums are very slow and that’s why I am here on community to see if mods have an explanation.
I am getting this message:
“The server at talk.collegeconfidential.com is taking too long to respond.”
I think it is an overloaded system.
Slow is not the word. Times out, hangs up. Happens to me in all forums, at least for the past week. Seems fine in the early am est.
I use a mac too and yes, I have been slowed down a LOT.
I don’t use a Mac, and I’m having the same problem right now.
ditto to all of the above. what is going on CC?
Very slow. Sometimes can’t get on.
We are aware of the issue and are taking measures to improve performance on the site. We have a hardware upgrade happening in about 2 hours that should help improve performance.
Still had issues trying to get in to discussion forum last night.
It always seems to go “out” just when I’m making a post.
Getting very frustrating. Getting worse. I get busy messages, 503 service temporarily unavailable messages, maintenance messages. Now, I have lost several posts. At first it was just a short one here, days later a short one there. It times out and then the message box is empty. Today, a long heartfelt post is gone forever, lost to an error message.
I have a PC, and this happens on IE and Firefox. I was trying different computers, different internet access points and now different browsers. And since an upgrade yesterday, the error messages are different but the problem is worse.
This is a great service and it is free. But I would be willing to participate in a PAYPAL donation campaign to help if needed. (Did this on another great board once)
PS I LOST THIS ONE TOO TRYING TO POST. AT LEAST I HAD DONE A COPY SO I COULD PASTE IT IN CASE. :(.

And now an unintentional double post. Sorry, not my intention. Really
It’s been getting really bad lately
I think cc is under maintenance…that’s what it told me once, I think.
Sorry about the problems, folks. We are experiencing very high traffic levels, and we are adding three humungous servers to handle the load. Our tech staff is monitoring the site around the clock, and they are doing their best to keep things running until the reinforcements arrive. Thanks for your patience!
Wow, if the traffic is high now, just imagine 3/31!!! Hope you get mega backup or else it is going to be crash city!!!
Well, there are still many problems today with connections timing out, links not working, etc. I’ve had to log back in numerous times in the past 30 minutes .
Now several threads are missing, and if you try to access them by an email cut/paste you get the message: “Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired. Please push the back button and reload the previous window.”
Whazzup with that???
