Website Difficulties?

Anyone experiencing difficulties when responding to posts? After I have written 3or4 paragraphs, a tag line appears and says " There is an error with this website. It is being reloaded." Then everything I have written disappears and I have to start again. How frustrating. Is it just me?

    @CowgirlJane I am using firefox on a work computer.....so there's not telling what the real culprit is. I'm betting it's the computer and not the browser

Oh I have to re-write things almost constantly! I've learned to copy periodically so when it all disappears I can paste it back. It's extremely annoying. I almost quit posting all together for that reason. It becomes too time consuming. Maybe @@Alex Brecher could tell us why?

Are you gals on desktops? iPads? Which browser are you using please? We're going to get to the bottom of your problems.

I've encountered the same issue. Now I compose any replies in an email as it will save the draft, and then I cut and paste. I've lost more than one typed reply before reverting to this method. And I get that error message a lot. Sometimes I'm just reading and it just disappears, the entire website or app, because I use both, and then I have to wait for it to reload again. I use an iPad.

Maybe I should just use safari? I don't know if it does the same thing there, I will check.

Ok update: it seems to be fine on safari must be Google that's the problem for me.

Hi all,

I work on my I Pad, I use Safari. I have been posting since Dec. and started having problems about2 weeks ago.

Thanks for looking into this. I don't want to leave this site, but it does get frustrating.

I had to give up using BP on safari on my iPad. Trying to type responses only to have it freeze up got too frustrating. I started using the app, but I don't like it because you can't see tickers, profiles or avatars.

I usually use Firefox on desktop but it's been crashing the last two weeks. I switched to IE (UGH!) and it seems to be working ok here.

I agree, downside of the app is not seeing avatars or tickers.

Seeing tickers and siggy is important to me because it gives context for their question/comment. I have no problems on laptop using Firefox. My kindle uses ES and if I make a new post, it is invisible to me as I am typing. So, what I do is make a post and then reply to it with my actual post. I haven't tested this in awhile to see if it is fixed. My phone I use the app and really dislike it. Besides the missing profile info it's harder to navigate.

Firefox did some updates over the last week and it seems quite stable on my laptop anyway.

Mine recently started constantly reloading. Initially it might be every 5 minutes but now it is every 15- 45 seconds or so. Frankly it makes it useless to come here. I am on IPAD Safari browser.

Third time posting this. I think it is the site since so many using different browsers are having same experience
