YES, YES, YES!!!! I've had the same problems and more. It's super SLOW if it even takes me to where I want. Just trying to get to THIS thread took me FOREVER! I didn't think it would even let me in. I usually get a blank page saying "done", or half a page saying "done with errors". I also get logged off when I try to send a PM, thread reply, or visitor reply anything really....I then have to log in again, but I've lost everything I just wrote. I mostly just give up and close it. VERY ANNOYING.

I have all the spyware and adware and defragged which ADMIN suggested..... the problem is not my computer. I can do anything else with it. Hotmail and google don't even give me problems.

so sad.

Admin was given that message almost a week ago...so that is not the problem. LadyJane says it is the database..whatever that means

I think I am going to give it up and go out and watch the Lyrids.

That is where all of the data is stored...everything that is typed..pics, you name it. All of the stuff it needs to call up.

I've been trying for 25 minutes to send a pm! It took me 10 minutes to sign on! Aghhh!

We have not changed ad settings in many months. If you are getting waiting messages for ads, it may be the ad server which is somehow lagging. YorkieTalk relies on ads to support our site, as without ads, the YorkieTalk community would not be possible.

There are times when YorkieTalk is more active than others and there are many members on at one time. This can overload the server and cause YT to be slower than normal.

Same here, tonight is the worst I have ever seen it, and I was surprised because there are fewer people on this late. Hope somebody can fix the long lags.

Also, we have been working on the server, the YT database, and have been trying to see how else we can make YT faster these past few days. Some of these things we are testing and fixing may also have slowed YT a bit.

Since we do have over 60,000 members and over 3 million posts, some of the optimizations we make may take a while to implement. Thank you for your patience. We are working hard to make YT as fast and usable as possible for everyone.

Since we do have over 60,000 members and over 3 million posts, some of the optimizations we make may take a while to implement. We are also analyzing our current hardware for YT and trying to determine if we need to upgrade our server or if we need a new server for our community.

Thank you for your patience. We are working hard to make YT as fast and usable as possible for everyone.
