Anyone else having problems with discussion groups working properl

[David K.]

I'm just curious if anyone else is having difficulties with the various
Access discussion groups posts and replies working properly. I'm trying to
figure out if it is my computer, internet connection, or something inherent
with the website.

Half of the time I can't read the posts because it just sits there saying
"loading".
Other times my posts end up vanishing and I have to type them up all over
again. Of course now I copy the text before clicking on Post.

I'm using MS Explorer 7 and I've also tried Google Chrome. I have problems
with all groups within Access such as New Users, Reports, Queries, etc.

Yes, always.

You'd think that Microsoft would be able to make / source a website that
works. Maybe they need to switch it Linux servers like Google......Google
has 100 times the traffic and is never slow.

I don't know if this will help or even answer your question, but you may want
to take a look at this thread:

Thanks for all of your responses. I feel better knowing that it isn't
related to hardware or software on my end seeing how we just got brand new
computers and server within the last year.

I was about to have our IT guy grab his digital toilet plunger and fix the
clog but it looks like he was correct in telling me we don't have any
problems on our end.

I was starting to have flashbacks of AOL dial up (for those of you old
enough to know what that means).

Yup. Yup, actually dialup plus they oversold makign it even worse.

I remember that there was a proposal to keep on-line predators off of the
Web by requiring that they use AOL.

In some rural areas dial up is still the only game in town unless you want
to bring in your own T1 line or something like that, or else use satellite
access.

This problem of the slowness of the forums is still an open issue methinks. The forums are incredibly slow and I can't find anything on the link you posted about it. Did I miss something?

Edit.
Ignore that. I just found the post you refer to. As you suggest Aria, it doesn't offer a solution, however, it's nice to know someone is trying to do something.
