I have no problems using my desktop (PC) but at least 50% of the time I cannot access via IPad. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5803 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Thursday, July 24, 2014 - 9:45 pm:    I've been having trouble accessing the site today with both my iPad and my desktop.

I've taken to opening another tab and doing other stuff while I wait. 5a_quilt_top Advanced Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 330 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2014 - 12:14 pm:    +1 from Phoenix, AZ using a new Mac Pro. Normally this machine is lighting fast - but, over the last few days, this page has either opened s - l - o - w - l - y or not at all. pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 1225 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2014 - 2:13 pm:    Very slow to open here at work today. (desktop) Sometimes the i-pad at home bogs. I blame it on the NSA! Or Corporate's version of it . . . .

And this being a small shop, the problem occurred just when staff were away from the shop and when other activities were pressing as well. So, I don't know where we are on this at the moment, other than the fact that the shop does know about and is working on the problem. Hang in there; and remember to always keep a guitar or bass handy to practice on while you wait for the page to load. jcdlc72 Advanced Member Username: jcdlc72 Post Number: 365 Registered: 11-2009 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2014 - 3:21 pm:    This is, BY FAR, the BEST technical support answer I´ve got EVER! And certainly the best tech advice. Keep handy your bass or (and?) guitar while you wait. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11444 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2014 - 4:29 pm:    Hey; maybe I've got a potential career as a tech support guy in a call center! Do they hire old guys who are technically challenged? wfmandmusic Member Username: wfmandmusic Post Number: 90 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2014 - 5:27 pm:    It seems to me they hire them all the time! Good luck ! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11445 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, July 25, 2014 - 6:19 pm:    5a_quilt_top Advanced Member Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 332 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Monday, July 28, 2014 - 9:19 am:    "...keep a guitar or bass handy to practice on while you wait for the page to load." Funny you should mention that, Dave. It's exactly how I got back into music after a 10 year hiatus. Back in the modem days (mid-90's) I was waiting for web pages to load on my home computer and I got impatient. While looking around the room for something to do, I spied my long-neglected guitar sitting on its stand. I picked it up and realized that it wouldn't take too much effort to get my chops back in shape and start playing again. Goodbye home computer - hello revived musical journey. Long story short, that computer now sits in the back of a closet because I'm more than occupied with a room full of acoustic and electric guitars and basses. Thanks slow web pages!
