Maybe they are bombarded with other unhappy customers?
Try rebooting again now. :D:D:D

OK...so is anyone else having problems just going from subject to subject here on quilt board ?
I'm barely getting through

Yes.
I have high speed internet and service is good.
Many weekends, some mornings_8ish (central standard time), today, I would click for something and it will just sit there. I have never been sure if it was AOL that was slow or the Quiltingboard that was slow. I just consider it high traffic and come back later.
Sometimes emptying my cache will help but not so often.
Today is Cyber Monday so I suspect everything was bottle necked.

I am getting really, really frustrated.
Can someone help....PLEASE

If you don't have these programs, download them (they are freeware) and run a FULL scan with Malwarebytes. Then run CCleaner.
Best I have found so far.

Malwarebytes Anti-malware (Free Version):
http://www.malwarebytes.org/

CCleaner (right side of screen by green download arrow:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

You should see a difference in speed after running these.

down loaded both...
am going to copy paste something to send you I don't understand

LMBO I had to ask what cyber Monday was when I heard about it last week :oops: I guess the online businesses were feeling left out :D:D:D

DB has walked me through computer issues a lot...he was a computer specialist in the Navy for 20 years... I tease him that since I helped pay for his training, he owes me LOL
