Is anyone else having recent problems accessing the topics board when using an Ipad? I have no problems using my desktop (PC) but at least 50% of the time I cannot access via IPad.

I suspect there's trouble in server land--the page has been loading VERY slowly for me the last couple of days. I've taken to opening another tab and doing other stuff while I wait.

+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.

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 . . . .

I'm not certain about the cause of the problem at this point, though mention was made early on about a router issue. 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.

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.

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?

"...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!
