am tired and feel petty enough to complain about how poorly this website functions. It routinely doesn’t load & stays that way for some time. I have no such problem elsewhere. What is going on? Grrr

    So it isn’t just me.

    Do you use adblocker? I wonder if that is the problem… The site did load when I used a browser without adblocker, but then there were SO MANY ADS! I was shocked. I have been using adblocker for so many years I had no idea there are so many ads on db.

      @midnight: it must be a systemic problem then. I’m a financial supporter so I get the ad-free version as the only benefit (provided the site manages to load!).

    I complained on the open thread yesterday and after it worked very well. But this morning, I had the same issue with the page that doesn’t load.

    I meant to comment the same yesterday but kept timing out. DB is always slower than any other site I use but yesterday was beyond bad.
    What’s going on, DB staff?

      For me it has been nearly a week though. It is worse when I try to go to older shows recaps. Like Start Up recaps simply won’t open.

    I’ve noticed this happens whenever there are some changes to the site or an update of some sort – such as when they added the Shows and Celebs tabs. It should get resolved soon. I noticed an improvement today already.

    I wonder if it is because the on going dramas are getting so much buzz on the internet and thus, a lot of old beanies+new ones decided to visit the site?

    It’s not just me then.

    For the last few days, I’ve had struggles loading the site. It routinely doesn’t work and the times it does, it takes so long that it’s not worth it. And it gets worse when I’m trying to click on replies to comments or like posts. It takes forever. I can guarantee you posting this comment will take ages.

    I love this site and the community here, but I will admit stuff like this is frustrating.

    Yep this week has been a lot slower than usual. The ‘usual’ are slower than other sites though so to be a lot slower is something else 😬 @dbstaff
