not really sure where to ask this or tell anyone about this, but the forum has been acting weird for me lately. not keeping me signed in, notifications dropping for threads i'm following, things like that. are there ongoing issues or am i just the lucky one?
...I've had a couple of wonky things but they haven't lasted...

it's been fairly recent, like this week. i even had once where it wouldn't let me sign in at all because it claimed something wasn't secure

so i think i figured out what was giving me problems. i usually click on this link when i get email notifications of replies, because that way i can just skip straight to notifications and take them in whatever order i want: http://prntscr.com/feifdj . . . and for some reason that started taking me to the boards and not having me be signed in or not letting me sign in in some cases, but i can just go to the boards via bookmark or the thread link in the email and it actually does keep me signed in. so all good (even thought that link doesn't seem to be working very well anymore, i can use other means)

Several times yesterday and just a few minutes ago I had some problems with the board. Just now, I went to Like skimom's post above and that timer thing was moving. I get a page that reads "This site can't be reached. It takes too long to load" Something like that. =D I got kicked off once yesterday but if I wait a bit it will bring me back. It's just a matter of a 4-6 seconds but...

That's a Jordan question as it's above my skill-set. :smile2:

That was probably just some severe server load. I'll stop beating the thing with a wrench. ;)
