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?

Ahh, so the issue seems to be that your geographically located pretty far away from Pic8's host.

On windows or linux, try to ping pic8. Let it run for a bit and shoot me back the output. It will tell you the latency.

Open a CMD prompt or terminal and execute ping pic8.co

ping pic8.co

At the moment, PIC8 links seem to be loading fine:

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

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

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

https://pic8.co/sh/xrPiba.jpg

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

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

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.
