What were your thoughts when MyLot was down yesterday?

I keep getting pop-ups asking me to install Windows 10. I refuse. I'm sure I would have thought the same thing. Is Windows 10 working OK for you so far?

@TheHorse Yes, but I did have one instance when my screen went black for a moment while I was reading a MyLot post. Then the computer told me that the Display Driver 8.1 had stopped working, but instantly it told me that it recovered, and it did. I have no clue what this means, but it is scary since this has never happened to me since buying my first computer back in the very early 1980s.

I wasn't on but a short time yesterday and noticed nothing like what you have explained. I guess the times I was on the problem had been resolved.

I had some of the same thoughts. Thought they were sure paying us early this time. Then saw that wasn't the case at all. Had to sign in several times. I think that the site has a bug. I think it is sadly inevitable since all the members come from all over and who knows where they have been before coming here. It's too bad we don't have a way of washing our hands as it were before coming here. So we don't bring any bugs with us. But, they should have good security on here too.

I didn't notice any such things since I wasn't online much these last couple of days. But I did read many myLot members talking about it. Strange thing to happen! Did Alex or Bugs say something about it?

I noticed the bank glitch, but not really anything else. I dreaded that all the recent discussions, the new user discussions and the discussions with no responses would all be on that topic. Long ago I believe I have seen them take a day or two to put everything right, but I knew that it would be done. I was bored because I watch my bank to keep score.

I noticed last night when the bank was at zero and would show our earnings past or present. I figured it was probably a glitch and would be fixed soon.

When I opened mylot yesterday morning (my time) I just made my interaction as usual then saw that my bank was zero but i wasn't alarmed. It didn't make me thing of posting a discussion about it coz I was certain somebody already did. I knew it was a glitch and I was confident it would be fixed.

@infatuatedbby "The site that will not be named" had a very different feel from this one. To me it felt like what living in N. Korea must be like. Say the wrong thing or use the wrong picture, and you could be severely punished. And the random "beatings by the police" (occasionally not getting paid for no apparent reason) made it worse. It was a strange feeling.

I could tell by the posts and comments I read that it was nerve-wracking for some. Perhaps memories of "the site that will not be named" lingered.

@ModernDayWriter Let's see. It's June 3, 10 AM (plus a few minutes), as I read this. If it's 23:20 there and 10:20 here, then the difference is 13 hours. Without Daylight Savings Time, it would be 9:20 AM here in California. Do you have Daylight Savings Time?

I had flashbacks of recent and ancient site closings without payment. Then, I thought I must be banned and finally decided to wait til morning. It was okay this morning but the yellow highlights still are not going away when I look at the notifications. The post does not go to the answer either. This has gone on several days.

But I thought it was payday and happy to see my growing bank back until it's officially payday at zeros.
