Is anyone else finding this site is playing up?

    Roughly about a third of the time when I click this site, it fails to load 

    And, if anything, it seems to be getting worse...

    It usually (re)loads within a couple of minutes, but sometimes it seems to be broken for longer. I have no trouble loading other sites, so I know its not my Internet connection or anything.

    Are other people finding this? I need to get feedback so I can approach Ning Support (although when this site won't load, the Ning Support doesn't load either....)

    My experiences are similar to yours, Paul.  It is not our wireless connection or computer problems on our end, either.   I have troubles about 30 percent of the time.

    Im on here alot but i only get trouble once every twenty loads or so. The text cursor is also very laggy on this site and occasionally goes invisible so i dont know where i'm about to type.

    Hmmm. Further investigation shows that it appears to be browser related.

    The problems are on my main browser (Chrome) but as soon as I switch to Firefox it loads no problem at all.

    Interesting

    I have never had problems.  The only time I've even been confused was when I am bringing up an editing box, and it takes a bit to bring up all the HTML tools.  Other than that, this site has been perfectly well behaved.  What browser do you use?  I use Safari, more often than any other.

    I'm pleased that most people seem to be having a trouble-free experience 

    My issues seem to be related to how I have my browser set up. The site works fine on other browsers and on my iPhone. So its obviously not a site problem as such. There are lots of shortcomings with Ning, but load times doesn't seem to be one of them!
