I look at Poal every day, but find that seemingly every other day I sit down to go through Poal posts only to find every pic8 link fails to load. This is on wifi or even on cellular data. Pic8 is down at least as much as its up.

Anyone else?

Actually, here's two links that are just spinning. Thev'e been spinning for about 2 minute or more:

I'm dorking around with stuff right now. Stopping and starting the server.

I believe I've found an issue in the codebase. Attempting to fix and test.

Give it a try now

I'm seeing the same behavior with the first like I tried:

Spinning and nothing loading, but no error appearing yet. I'm sure if I let it sit there a few minutes it will probably open. But usually when this happens, I of course will just close the tab and move on. After enough of these, you can imagine that I feel I need to vent about pic8 links not opening.

EDIT: It opened at about the 1 min mark

https://s01.geekpic.net/di-TIGH0D.jpeg

is the link that's being returned to you by pic8.

Sadly, if the homepage of pic8 takes awhile to load for you, there's not much I can do--short of buying more server space in more locations around the world. If pic8 homepage loads quickly, then it may be that geekpic.net is far away from you/the infrastructure between your ISP and their server is poor

Your help in this has been much appreciated.

Both of those links opened after just a couple of seconds delay.

I'll try a few more links on Poal's new and see what happens.
