Is anyone else besides me having site loading/refreshing/posting issues? It seems like ever since they added the videos above...and then the 'advertisements' that shows up on the right hand side that takes up half the page...because it's a 'video' advert...it is holding up the page..

It takes a very long time to load a page...and then the threads show only one post...then another...little by little even if there's 3 or 5 responses...

I'm not having any other issues with my IE as I have 5 other windows always open working on other things...those are perfectly fine...so it's only been with HW..

Just thought I would ask...and if this is not a place to do this or another way..please let me know:)

I have noticed a bit of a "lag" in the page loading as well, I also have other windows open doing other things too. Not sure other than that, and I being new have only seen the site with that stuff at the top, never any different for me :)

yeah  Yep, it's happen w/ me too - since the videos up top appeared.  It's tough because I can only grab a second on here once every little bit - and sometimes it takes so long to load, that I don't get a chance to respond once I've finished reading. 

I'm not having problems on other sites either.

Yep, me too I started having a lot of trouble with the ads taking forever to load. That was a few days ago and I noticed last night and today it seems to have started working right again.

Like you guys I had no problems anywhere else.

Sometimes i cant login to chat. i see other ppl listed in chat but it wouldnt allow me acess to chat. i wasnt banned from chat, I could login when I was the first one to login. When other ppl wre listed then i couldnt gain acess to chat. Anyone else have this problem?

I think alot of the tech problems are growing pains here at Healing Well.

Wish HW would ditch the ads...but they are needed to help keep this site up....

I am having quite a bit of lag time again, the ads at the top are taking forever to load. Anyone else???

    ...a lot of it has to do with the servers your company may be using..and heavy traffic.

      If a T-1 line is used it will load very fast...but usually only business use these.

         ....lots of variables in play here....so it can be a number of things.

Thanks SE...it seems to be ok the last few days...My home fiber optic connection is the fastest you can get for residential...

The issue was only with HW...my computer and connection is fast and loads all other site pages within seconds...

It seems to have gotten more slow with HW since they added the video uploads at the top of the page here, as well as a video graphic advertisement on the right hand side of the page..

Today the ads loaded as they should and it was fine, lol. However, yesterday they were really lagging. Oh wel, as long as we can get in thats what counts.

LOL....I was all ready to write I hadn't had issues in days...and then today, starting around 1pm and on I've had the same extremely slow loading....it will actually load half the page....and then like one or two responses....and then hold for a bit....then slowly add something one after the other....

Still not trying to complain...just making them aware what and when things happen..

One of the big reasons sites will have issues with slow loading is thanks to the web bots (automated programs) that visit sites in search of key words and phrases.

These bots are used by search engines such as Yahoo and Google to help them provide better results but they are also used by spammers to help them target their BS. Some of the more sophisticated bot programs are also able to sign up to sites and post their spam themselves.

Can barely get on since 6pm EST...my IE is timing out now it's taking so long to load...again..only on HW...I have 4 other sites open right now and no issues..

Me too Snowbunny. The pages arent loading part of the time, all I get is the top ads. When I posted a bit ago it took way the submit button and took almost 5 min to show up. I too have several pages open with no issues.
