Do you know why it is taking so long to connect to LitNet?

[SilentMute]

For the last week or so, it has taken my computer forever to connect to you guys. I was wondering if you are doing something on the site that would cause this to happen, or whether the problem is on my end.

Mine's good, so I don't think the Russians are attacking again.

Ditto.

A few weeks ago I was having lists of trouble, but not recently.

I'm okay. I think it depends on the traffic where you are receiving and the service provider you are using. A few weeks ago there was an actual problem with the response of Litnet. I think it's no longer there.

IS there a time of day when this happens, or is it at all times?

[SilentMute]

For a while, it seemed to be happening at all times. However, the last day or two, it seems to have been connecting right away. One thing I did do was to delete my favorites link and re-do it. That may have helped.

I'm having the same problem. On a very fast connection and computer but the forums take 1-2 minutes to load. Don't have this trouble with other sites.

As SilentMute said, it may help to flush the link and make a new one, but quite often the cookie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie) is the real culprit. If it has somehow been corrupted, it may cause all sorts of strange problems. It often works wonders to manually delete the cookie in question and then logging in as usual (Remember to tick the "remember me" box again).

You will find them in different places depending on the software you use, but a search for deleting cookies "your browser" will probably put you on the right track.

Did that--no change. Turned out to be the "Great Wolf Lodge" ad running at the top and bottom, which is why the subforums run fine.

Yes, sort of. Now it's appearing when I go to compose a post, which means I either have to close the window and start all over or selectively disable multimedia. Insidious.
