Yeah, lord knows I can still easily load Amazon, ebay and Smartpak, so it’s definitely just COTH. It does feel eerily like doom is in the making. If so, see all of you on the other side! :grin:

Maybe political post overload that the server cannot keep up with? That activity has increased a lot compared to activity in other categories. No, I have no data, just personal observation.

whew thought it was just me and my devices. Fingers crossed nothing it’s nothing horrendous.

getting worse all day Tuesday :crazy_face: now a mess today

Same problems here…on an Apple computer if that helps.

Major problems this morning. Links to all emojis are broken and I get an error message when trying to post a link to a news story. Could not load the site at all last night.

Trying to share a screenshot, but sharing images us the problem, so… 🤷

I am not getting pictures, screenshots or some emojis showing on either Microsoft Edge or Chrome

Hi all, our site received unprecedented traffic yesterday (ongoing today), and that’s causing the glitches you’re experiencing. We’re well aware of the issues, and the development team is working to increase our bandwidth and server resources quickly. Please bear with us as we get that going; it should start to improve soon!

I am in an out all of the time, every day. Today I was logged out! Tried to log back in, no dice. Left and came back, everything was very nice. I am blaming the heavy traffic on upcoming Olympics, Charlotte, and politics!

Same problem here, Chromebook using Chrome.

Also getting errors when trying to post and spinning.

(posting that it is still happening as a FYI.)

Better this afternoon, Thursday - thank you. @COTH_Lisa_Slade
