Hi and Happy Holidays to those I know and to those I look forward to getting to know!
I've had a hard time getting on the site, and tonight it took over 10 minutes just to open this forum so I could let you know I got on. The main background, or opening page takes a long time to download. About 3-4 minuted until the Christmas counter is up and then when I clicked on this forum it made me open the rules to read, then took another 4 minutes before it would fully open. I hope it's not my computer, I have no other trouble with any of my other sites. Anyway I'm here, and I'm going to go do a couple of reviews so I may offer my third ever sonnet for critique. I may never understand all the ins and outs of learning about meters and stresses and stressors, but I surely do love writing, and I'm eager to try. I also have friends who rely on my to teach them what I know...so I'm always looking to increase my understanding. Hugs and Christmas Love, Joy and Peace to all! Pami xoxox ·······  ·······A relaxed attitude, and a heart of gratitude, increases life whilst joy doth exude! <:))))><

PS FYI it's STILL downloading...lol. My avatar and other things have just now popped up. Am I the only one experiencing this difficulty?

Hi, Pami
  Yeah, I agree, I found MM very slow today. A warm welcome back.  A sonnet writer...Ahhhhhhhhhhhh no. Very hard form of poetry. Just walk in and make yourself at home again. Don't forget to comment on other members poetry. John

Hi Pami and welcome back!
 I'm puzzled on this loading problem - some of our skins are very graphically intense I admit. One of the lighter skins is called Holiday Lite, can you try that or Silent Night? Another option would be to use the link at the bottom that says 'low-fi version' which would eliminate ALL graphics completely. Peter states there's no server load issues, and wherever we've both logged in from (remotely), the site seems fine. I'm going to change the skin default this morning to see if that might help. We've also just tested the loading time by going to www.megaproxy.com and then enter our site URL: http:// forums.mosaicmusings.net and the entire page loaded within 15 seconds. We'll keep looking and see if we can find anything on our end. In the meanwhile please do keep me posted on this matter (email: cleo_serapis@yahoo.com). Welcome back! ~Cleo

What internet connection type are you using? Is it dial-up?

Lori and John thank you for the welcome backs.
Lori I use broadband I'm so sorry to have put you all to so much trouble. I did do two reviews and one post last night, but it took over an hour... Unfortunately it isn't loading any faster for me...at least this reply window didn't. I would blame it on my firewall...and may even shut it off very reluctantly for a little bit to do my own test, but I belong to several sites with intense backgrounds, though this is the most beautiful, and they come up instantly for me in most cases. Imhotep, I'm going to try to reply to your message after this, but it I get "stuck" again I'll have to come back when I have more time. Again to all of you thank you, and apologies. If I'm the only one experiencing this level of difficulty in getting in it must be on my end, maybe even my ISP. Arrnfinn...how long did it take you to navigate back and forth yesterday? Blessings, Pami ······· ·······A relaxed attitude, and a heart of gratitude, increases life whilst joy doth exude! <:))))><

I'm about to uninstall my Trend Micro PC-cillin. I think that may be what is
causing the problem. We'll see. Free AVG will give me good protection and my Trend is almost expired anyway. I'll let you all know if it helps. ······· ·······A relaxed attitude, and a heart of gratitude, increases life whilst joy doth exude! <:))))><

Please do, enquiring minds want to know... I know I like Norton AntiVirus but have had issues with Norton Internet Security in the past.

No worries Pami.
It's usually found by process of elimination. It's kinda like when you go to the doctor and say 'My head hurts.' - There are sooooo many possible 'fixes' that could be applied to make you feel better BUT one must get to the root cause. We won't be able to do that unless you keep us in the loop as you are doing various things and please be as detailed as possible. Did you try to load the static home page yet at www.mosaicmusings.net ? -Lori ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

I'm going to move some of the replies in this topic to an "access Issues" thread I just posted in the Scribe's Stylus forum (General Site Info) at the link below.
