Time out errors on Mylot..does it happen to you?

Usually my timeouts involve taking too long to get the discussion posted, so when I'm in for a long one, I copy my discussion before posting. I hope you get it figured out. Wish I could be more helpful. Ciao4now, Shannon

Raia!!!!! If I had known you were going to start this discussion I would have saved that section of my comment in our other discussion for this one!!!! Jeez! And since I can't cut and paste yet, it'll just have to suffice for me to say "yes indeed it has happened to me... a few times!" A few very frustrating times!

When I am doing a lengthy discussion I will copy it before I send it off to post. That way if it gets hung up I can start over and try to repost. I haven't had this happen too often. It has happened to me though. Just can't remember when. Big huggers to you.

yes has hapened to me and by the time I try to post then get a blank page and have to go back and do it again I forget everything I had wrote to begin with and if it happens more than once I end up not posting at all or going back late to do it so I dont think it is on our end. hugs

Hello there my friend, I hope that you're always fine!;) As for the "timeout" errors, that will most probably be a glitch. I'm not sure about those taking a long time in downloading, but I do experience it as well. It could be that this site is upgrading or that the members are all logged in here and active at the same time, those are what I have observed and experienced from the past after being a member here for a long time now as these happens once in a while!;) Goodluck on your trip to the city, drive safe and God bless.

Hello perspectives. I have also experienced many times of the same case, which is very annoying. I posted a response and it was very slow and then it said that server could not be found. I know that it is not the problem of my connection, but the problem of Mylot, because all the other sites could always open so easily without waiting for so long and got our time wasted after posting a discussion or response. I hope that Mylot would do something to make offer us Mylotters a fast speed while mylotting. You see, while I am responding to this discussion of yours, the same case is happening again to another post, saying that the server is not found, so annoying. By the way, have a good trip to the city and have fun.

Hello Perspectives, This happens to me fairly regularly. I've noticed it with particular frequency just about the time the earnings update each day. MyLot loads more slowly than any of the sites I regularly visit. So, I guess I've gotten used to it. I've learned (the hard way) to load images before any text. Then, if it's a long post or reply, I composed it in Word, then copy it into MyLot. Unfortunately, this option is not available to folks with fewer than 500 posts. I used to find that particularly annoying. As an aside, Hubby won't even log on to MyLot anymore because of how slow it is, and because of the time-outs. So, it's not just happening to you. I really enjoy this community, so I perceive it as a fairly insignificant sacrifice. Of course, before figuring out to load images first, and copying long text, it used to drive me bananas!

I have often experience losing my work or responding to a post here in mylot usually, as observed when I take a long time in writing, then when I finally press preview response, yikes, what I have just written is gone and I see this page telling me to log in. And when I log in, it's a fresh, blank box. Aargh! I know the feeling of frustration especially when I had thought out a very long response, poured my real effort and then pfffttt, gone. But all these things happen, at least for me, when I take a long time before hitting the response button. I don't know if the others have experienced and observed it this way. But, I am sure it is not my internet provider. It is definitely with mylot. Someone told me it is in mylot cookie. I really don't know. I have also posted something like this before and I still can't figure it out. But, I have something that helped me somehow, which was to copy the entire response before hitting the response button and then paste it to my file. The only problem is, I have to copy and retype because I still haven't reached 500 posts yet. So, I know the feeling, it is really frustrating.

It was probably about the same time you posted this that I was having the same problem but it's been fine since then. Maybe they were doing some site maintenance or something like that. I know some companies do that now and then. It sure is frustrating, especially when you're in the middle of something and have to start all over again. Annie

Hi Raia, I have noticed it taking a long time to advance and stuff, I havent been getting any time out errors though. I really just thought it was my PC and I needed to do a spyware check on it or something. Its doing pretty good today, its been off for the last 2 days though so maybe it just needed a break. LOL Hope yours is doing better for you. Its pretty frustrating when you have to wait on something that usually goes along just fine. Bay Lay Gray xx
