Okay, this is beginning to annoy me. Since around one o'clock this afternoon - maybe longer, but that was the first chance I've had to get on line since early morning yesterday (yeah, I stay up way too late) - I've been having problems with three sites:

1) LJ itself - most pages seem to take somewhere between ten minutes and half an hour to load completely. It seems to stall out on the ads. A couple pages load at the normal rate, though - I've only seen it in two communities so far (dramadramaduck and kingdomdressing)
2) Plurk completely refuses to load.
3) Some pages on Neopets also take ages to load.

Now, for a while, I had this problem where Plurk and LJ would occasionally do this, but that a) went away if I quit and restarted Firefox; b) didn't happen at all in Safari; and c) stopped happening once I fixed the thing that was preventing me from upgrading Firefox. So far I've tried restarting Firefox - no luck. Switching over to Safari didn't work either. Nor did restarting the whole computer. The fact that it's three different sites makes me hesitate to blame it on the sites themselves, especially Neopets (which has never done this before even when this happened normally), but the other options are either my computer or the dorm's internet connection, and I'm slightly mystified as to why either of those would have screwed up in the time I was offline.

Has this been happening for anyone else?

LJ is very slow for me, too. I haven't been on Neopets for ages, and I have a Plurk account but never got to use it. /fail

*hugs* Hi! ♥

Hm. That seems to make you the only one other than me LJ's been slow for. At least, the only one of the three people I've asked so far ^^; But it's been that way for, uh... twenty-nine hours now, about, so idk.

/hugs back

Hi to you, too &hearts

No issues here for any of the sites above (though I'd never even heard of Plurk before). And I was definitely on LJ yesterday afternoon (on campus, even, which rules out a campus-wide problem), though I didn't visit the others until just now.

Also, hi! I'm not a random stalker, I promise... ;)

Huh. I don't know, maybe it's just ISR. I'd say maybe even just my room, but my router/modem/Ethernet thingy/whatever it is seems to be just fine, all the lights are lit up. I just don't understand why it would just be those three sites...

[madtapa.livejournal.com]

Maybe they have something in common about the way they send information?

[matthias-wave.livejournal.com]

Maybe; I don't know. Seems like an awfully random combination, to be honest.

I'm heading out now, but perhaps later I'll see if it works better on the Wi-Fi in the lounge instead of on the Ethernet. Just wish I knew what was going on.

[madtapa.livejournal.com]

That's true, it does. Though I suppose LJ is one of those sites that can lag quite a bit sometimes, and I've seen Neopets lag before, too. But usually these problems seem more... universal.

Hm. Well, it must have been a problem with my computer; it happened on the lounge wi-fi last night, too. But it's back to normal now - has been since about one o'clock, when I woke up (yeah, like I said, I stay up way too late). I don't know what the heck was going on, but it seems to have stopped.

Very bizarre! Glad you got it figured out, though. :)
