Fluther has been super laggy for me for several hours. Is it just me or are others having problems as well?
I tried several times to send a PM and it just wouldn’t. Frustrating.

Yes. There is a problem. It’s not just you.
I sent a tickle to Auggie via Facebook. It is very slow…limping along, just like me.
Seems to me it started yesterday. Last night was as bad as this morning (now) for me.
I’m glad you asked the question. We had winds yesterday that I seriously feared were going to take the roof off of the house., so I figured the satellite dish was out of alignment. I re-booted the system before calling, and your question was the first thing I saw.
Very slow. Just sent Gail a PM but it took ages to go through.
^^ We could resort to email if you like. I just PM’d you back. If it doesn’t go through soon, email me.
Well its good to know I’m not alone at least.
It took my 3–4 tries apiece just to get the GAs to register.
Everything is just requiring numerous clicks for each action of any type and some actions just won’t complete no matter what.
I guess Ben needs to give the server a good smack upside the head :)
It’s sure bringing the traffic down.
I’m going to go find something even less constructive to do.
It seems fine for me right now. Is anyone still experiencing the problem?
No. It’s good now. Thanks.
It was all messy yesterday, I couldn’t even post answers three quarters of the time without copying the text, backing out and posting it again. Seems fine now though.
I had the same troubles yesterday.
My piecemeal solution to the problem was to abort and then restart whatever process was looping.
Dude, that was totally Star Trek style.
I’m busted- Gene Rottenberry’s ghost helps me with all my internet problems. ;-o
That is a DNS failure, sometimes called gateway error. This failure has been around for at least 15 years that I have been aware of it. It’s hard to troubleshoot because people tend to blame it on the site owner’s cheap software, or poor equipment, while the site owner blames it on somebody doing complex searches in the database. It clears up after a while, so everybody forgets about it.
The fix is to run your own DNS server. Go to http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/Network.htm and download Quick Cache.
