    Default Are you getting blank screens? Pls vote

    Ive been seeing blank screens these past few days. Not often, but they are happening.

    Anyone else?

    example: click the 'North Philadelphia' link, and instead of seeing the thread listing for the NP forum, you get a blank screen. You then need to use the back arrow to start over.

    I even got the dreaded "Database Error" screen once. Thought I was at Phillyblog.

    Edited to add: I just got the white screen when posting this. I thought it was some sort of clever Malloy Trap.

    Yes, this stuff happens as the site grows. Need to stay on top of it!

    I confess. Sometimes I do, but only to see if you have any new postings. They're always soooo funny.

    I get them a lot. Seems to be when the site is under heavy load, but that's just a observation. Got a few of the database errors too.
    If you believe people should work till they die to pay for a government worker to retire at 50, you're a Democrat. Otherwise, you're a Republican. All other differences between the parties are trivial.

    Yes, thank you--I have had to do this, several times in a row. That shouldn't be the case.

    So I went into this thread and got a blank screen for the first time today.

    Then I voted "Yes, once a day" after refreshing.

    I got another blank screen and had to refresh.

    I got the "thank you for voting" screen, then another blank page. Had to refresh again.

    Let's see if I get yet another blank page after submitting this.

    Edited to add: Nope.

    As a matter of fact, I have been getting a blank screen. I thought it was just my computer.

    This is getting insane. The screen has now officially blanked out 5 times in the past 5 minutes, including one time in which it killed my post and didn't allow me to re-post...

    Sporadically in the past few days, including a few times in the past couple minutes. A reload generally brings up the desired page almost immediately. Safari reports "the server unexpectedly dropped the connection."

    Yeah, I wanna change my vote to a much higher quantity now. Perhaps add an "every other page" option.

    It's almost like it's a hanging innernets connection, but Firefox's taskbar says "Done" as if the whole page is there in invisible pixels.

    I'm thinking this is somehow related to the arrival of Humber and/or the Creation Science is True Science thread. Or both.

    Thanks for staying on top of things.
