Slow site, just me?

I'm having lots of problems with things taking forever to load or (more commonly) loading just a blank white page, even after a refresh. Anyone else have this problem? I suppose it could be my computer.

juliagoolia on Jun 13 '06 at 2:23pm

Hmmm, it was definitely slow yesterday, but I haven't been having many problems today. It did seem to take a 15 minute nap not long ago. Have you restarted your computer?

Whole Grains on Jun 13 '06 at 2:24pm

Yup. :/ maybe it'll speed up after the sale then. I hope so.

benny breaks on Jun 13 '06 at 2:25pm

i think it is still slow...

littlem on Jun 13 '06 at 2:25pm

it's slow. i'm sure they're working on it.

:P

All of the above. I am having the same exact problems. The white page thing is making me insane! I have to reboot my modem everytime that happens. Bah!

Whole Grains on Jun 13 '06 at 2:28pm

k, i'll wait until the sale's done before I start whining about it again.

partyrings on Jun 13 '06 at 2:29pm

i got it too

just high server load from the bunchs of people playing with the new site and looking at all the new additions. With all this new stuff, it's kinda expected for the site to be a tad slow.

i'm sure they're gonna add a few more servers to hold the load :)

shirtflirt on Jun 13 '06 at 2:30pm

it's definitely slow.

frustratingly slow.

Remember Life Goes On? What a shitter of a show...

plastikaa on Jun 13 '06 at 2:32pm

mezo on Jun 13 '06 at 2:33pm

TWICED!

Call me a Corky!

kidaro on Jun 13 '06 at 2:33pm

It was super slow at work (IE), but now at home (Firefox) it's fine.

shirtflirt on Jun 13 '06 at 2:34pm

is firefox that decent?

i keep reading people post about it.

but i'm scared of change.

maddingo on Jun 13 '06 at 2:42pm

well... shirtflirt give it a try... nothing says you have to use FF if u try it and don't like it.

I lprefer it

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

shirtflirt on Jun 13 '06 at 2:44pm

thanks maddness!

juliagoolia on Jun 13 '06 at 2:51pm

I'm on firefox and don't seem to be having much trouble.

P.S. Corky, you totally made me laugh!!!

maddingo on Jun 13 '06 at 2:56pm

no problem shirt..

yeah give it a go... FF is extra RAD when you use some of the extensions

for example i'm a big fan of Forecast Fox (weather) Ad-block Plus , and TinyURL creator to name a few.

oh yeah and if you try FF..in order to use threadless all smooth like... go the plugins page and get the flash plugin

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/plugins/

that was the nav stuff and all will show up... which is good.

king slug on Jun 13 '06 at 3:19pm

John Cougar Mellancamp- no

Mercury Cougar- not so much

Cougart from the feline family- yes, at a safe distance

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 13 '06 at 3:39pm

it was slow a while ago but now it is being super fast.

shirtflirt on Jun 13 '06 at 3:40pm

oh.

it looks like the houston cougars sign, in your photo thingy.

mezo on Jun 13 '06 at 3:44pm

Shirt-

Google "the shocker".

shirtflirt on Jun 13 '06 at 3:46pm

oh boy.....

*trembles as he types goo..*

kirstenlovesdinner on Jun 13 '06 at 3:46pm

I couldn't connect for about 3 hours today.

and yeah, everything is as slow as a retard.

juliagoolia on Jun 13 '06 at 3:46pm

2 in the pink and 1 in the stink!!

You get my grins everytime, Mezo!!

shirtflirt on Jun 13 '06 at 3:47pm

hahaha

i like the chicks at the end giving the shocker.....

awesome.

mezo on Jun 13 '06 at 3:53pm

The Shocker should replace the devil horns at shows. HENCEFORTH!

shirtflirt on Jun 13 '06 at 3:57pm

Shock On!

kirksheltonart on Jun 13 '06 at 3:57pm

just make sure your fingers are free of hangnails

Jo$h on Jun 13 '06 at 4:00pm

its not too bad, but scoring subs is reallly slow

rholliday on Jun 13 '06 at 4:03pm

plastikaa on Jun 13 '06 at 2:32pm

sometimes if i get the blank screen i find adding or removing www. works :)

Yeah, I was going to suggest that, too. It's like they're taking down certain servers or something, but periodically I cannot establish a connection on http://www.threadless.com and can on http://threadless.com, and other times the opposite.

mezo on Jun 13 '06 at 4:20pm

What the heck is going on up there?
