I had trouble posting before, but everything seems fine now.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I was having trouble with read new for awhile-- just loadng and loading and loading
Yes, got Not Available a couple of times at various times today, also sometimes very slow to refresh.
I want to roll in Jon's changes this weekend
Yay!
Seeing this out of context at the top of the page, my mind went somewhere other than tech support...

I've been having problems with this for a while too-- it usually happens in prime time, late night, it isn't so bad. But I thought it was my slow internet connection. The good part is that if I get hung while loading a page, it actually seems to remember the last post loaded before I got hung, and resumes from there.
This just started happening to me on Thursday, but I just shut my browswer and went away. Then it happened again last night (Friday). I even got the DNS error for buffistas.org. I figured the site was down.
I tried to post the other day and my browser shut down.
I got this quote:
I see your uhhhhhhhhhhh and raise you a gnyeh.

Which I think is from "Bad Eggs" and said by Buffy.
Hi. I appreciate all the hard work you computer type people do; but can I request that MARCIE be bumped a little higher on the to-do list?
I just did something kind of interesting and scary -- I downloaded an entire finished thread "the hard way".
This is, and don't try this at home, by setting your posts per page to 11,000 and clicking on the thread.
I downloaded the whole of Natter 6, 7.6 MB, in fourteen minutes. I found that I couldn't do anything else with the board (like, for instance, set my posts per page back to a much more sensible number) in the meantime. Any page I clicked on timed out until the download was finished.
Probably this is related to the browser not knowing how big the file was, because it was being generated on the fly, unlike with a static file.
I really hope nobody else experienced delays or stalls during this time.
