It's that goddamned Shane, he's playing with the router. Give him some money and send him down to the tavern, then your Mudcat messages will go through just fine.

Mines about 8 or 9 years old. If other people aren't having problems, it's not Mudcat. It might have nothing to do with either your end or Mudcat's. It could be some sort of interference on the way from your computer to or from Mudcat.

If there is a problem with anything, it's certainly not the speed of the server I'm on. It's either the Mudcat software...or it's that my computer itself is getting old. I think it's 3 or 4 years I've had this one.

No, I'm on very high speed here, actually.

Or maybe he's trying to do it on an Alan Sugar Amstrad telephone Emailer... :-)

LH, have you tried different browsers? It sounds like your system is slow or lagging. Do you have a new ad blocker or other monitoring software in place?

Heheh. Get yourself off dial-up is my advice!

Yeah. By the way, I had to try 4 times to even get this new thread to launch.

Let's see if this comment goes through...

I agree with Will. It's got a lot better. I tend to select all and copy every post before either reviewing or sending. If it's a post I think the mods might delete, I send it to myself by email. I like the idea that I could mischievously post it again...and again... Heheh. But I never do!

Used to - it rarely happens now. However, if I want to write something long or detailed, I write it in textedit and save - just in case...

...and try....but it won't go through, and if you haven't blocked and saved your post, you've lost it.

So say you have saved your post. And you try again. Doesn't go through. It times out.

So you reopen Mudcat, find the thread, go to the end of it, and try AGAIN!

It times out. Never gets there.

I have sometimes tried 5 or 6 times before I finally got the post onto the thread. Sometimes I've just given up entirely, closed Mudcat, and gone and done something else.

Needless to say, it interferes some with the enjoyment of this forum. Anyone else having the same problem?
