Is everyone else experiencing a painfully slow experience on this site. I love the site in general but with it being so slow to do anything I don't hang around long.
Yes I have found it just slows down intermittently and starts to log people out for some reason. Makes it really difficult too as at other times it slows down to a crawl. So sad.......
This could be a great site but it is painfully slow. Has to be improved
What say you admin.?
better coders!
compression for photos.... there is a way!
It's genuinely awful. Reminds me of the AOL dial-up days! No modern website should be this slow. Don't believe it would take a huge effort on the part of MS to fix some of the basic issues (page load response time, random log-outs, etc.) but they don't seem to care at all about the community experience here. Else they would have fixed the issues YEARS ago, and yes, I do mean years... have been a member since 2018 and it's always been this crappy. In my mind, why even have a dedicated community site if you are not going to maintain it? At this point, it serves to drive customers off the brand, not make them more excited about it!
Yes, for newer members, such as ourselves, the speed and functionality of this site is quite a deterrent.
Why join and contribute to a site/forum if pages either load like on dial-up or not at all?
This definitely needs to be addressed, and judging by prior posts and comments, like a few years ago.
Seems to me it always is slow and or not working correctly. Unfortunate, it would be more popular and have more traffic if these basic items were corrected.

Couldn't agree more!!
Has anything been done to update the server? We’d hang out more often but it’s truly painful on here. Tons of 504 gateway timeout errors. Took almost 10 minutes to load 5 pics SMH
