Yes, it's ambling like a tortoise.... must be all something to do with all those shiny new machines and the elimination of 'cruft'.

And my payoneer payment still stucked...

"The team is looking into the current performance issues of the site."
(Maybe they could hard wire to suck some of the energy from EvilClown's avatar? or maybe I should do that!)

Patience. Hard to keep after all sort of problems and royalties cuts. And now payments delay. What's next?

Sorry, I couldn't decide what sort of smiley was appropriate for my comment. It certainly was meant to be sympathetic to you ; but I doubt if anything will be resolved before office time in Calgary. But maybe it's in the Payoneer system already.
And yup, the site is crawling like treacle. I made a cup of tea in the time it took me to get into a file to wiki it. How mamy buyers would stay that long?
Update: the wiki page is just blank white, so I guess I'll have drunk the tea and eaten the cake ...
2nd Update, so then the site made me log in again.

SEAN - are you up yet???
Are your sales significantly down this morning? Just wondering how willing buyers are willing to put up with this cr*p.

Chico · « **Reply #533 on:** January 20, 2011, 07:47 »

In fact, this is getting ridiculous. Complaining doesn't work, IS people are lost, communication about the fixes are demoralized (it's ok now, but don't). It's a management problem and some heads needs to roll.

I made a cup of tea in the time between hitting F5 and seeing my balance refresh...

(Mannn I'm drinking a lot of tea lately...)

Waiting for increases on my balance is like Waiting for Godot, these days.

I don´t know if KKThompson will resign but Chief Information Officer or IT Manager or whoever that is should seriously consider resigning.

rubyroo · « **Reply #537 on:** January 20, 2011, 08:02 »

Awww, Sue!

Could it be a disgruntled employee that screwed everything up?

Just speculating; but hey, anything is possible!

rubyroo · « **Reply #539 on:** January 20, 2011, 08:10 »

I've wondered that too. It otherwise seems inexplicable.

Site is down.. Unbelievable..

New blue screen of death:

The site is dead. Maybe an update or something.

rubyroo · « **Reply #543 on:** January 20, 2011, 08:19 »

Oh God, I hope it's not another 'improvement'.

Hopefully, they're fixing the last 'improvement'.
Oh, it seems like solving last night's 503 errors brought on the massive slowdown.
Or maybe the two are entirely unconnected SNAFUs.
As the last twitter update was ten hours ago, it makes no sense for the 'technical difficulties' screen to direct us there.

This is the message from twitter though from 12 hours ago:

"Figured out what was causing the 503 errors - things should be getting back to normal now!
about 12 hours ago via web"

Now when?

Site is down totally....It's been slow all morning

Thrilling to wake up to a blue death screen. However we have 8 inches of snow outside, so that's fun.

ShadySue · « **Reply #548 on:** January 20, 2011, 08:45 »

And still, after half an hour, nothing relevant on Twitter.
What's the point?
