Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request. I set a new record yesterday. This is getting frustrating.

Yesterday, out of covid-boredom, I decided to see if I could break my personal record for number of "refreshes" without being able to get through to MyLot. You know how I like to play little number games, like setting pretend "goals" for MyLot earnings in a month. At five refreshes, I realized I had a chance. At six, I realized couldn't remember if my past record was six or seven. At seven, I know I had at least tied my personal record. At eight, I knew that I had broken my record. At that point I gave up and did some work on my book. OK, I admit it. I'm getting a tad frustrated with this glitch. For much of yesterday, I was simply unable to access MyLot. It meant more time for reading, practicing guitar, etc, but I miss MyLot and my MyLot friends (they seem almost like real people to me!) when I can't access the site.

I think even Admin is confused by it. Some have suggested that the problem is with the "hosting" site, not MyLot itself.

I had trouble at the end of last week. After a reboot instead of refresh it seemed to settle the issue for me. Just some friendly help from one real friend to another

@TheHorse I went through a period of a couple of months during which the page would spin and it would take a minute or two to load each page. Then one day my computer did some updates and it was fine after that--good luck--it can be highly annoying when that happens

There are days that I cannot open posts, I try and try and it takes up to 7 minutes to open a discussion and type a comment. It is extremely frustrating and I feel that I am starting to waste my time.

@TheHorse If I only have to reload the page a couple of time it's fine, but when I hit F5 6 to 8 times and I get nothing it is frustrating.

Every time I sign in to MyLot somebody is saying they are having technical difficulties. I rarely have problems accessing this site. Do you think it's because I use a laptop?

@TheHorse - I only aske because in a different forum people complaining about signing in but they usually say they are on a mobile device. I was wondering if that made a difference. Lately, since many are now home because of coronavirus sometimes my pages take forever to load! I have to correlate it to the StayAtHome orders because it wasn't that bad before.
