Sorry… the site's having a 'moment'.

I have been getting this message about 90% if the time that I click on "Western Europe". This has been happening for 3 or 4 days now. Anyone else having the problem?

I had a similar thing a couple of weeks ago -- I couldn't get onto the site at all, then had to go in through one of the branches. It cleared up after a few days.

Haven't seen that error in a while.

Long time for me too- maybe a couple of months. But this site has been getting slower recently. Maybe it's my outdated browser...

Louis, your domicilie is in the USA.
Maybe they were testing/provoking the USA guys judging their reactions and now it's sure: the USA people belong to the most friendly in the world. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/malawi/travel-tips-and-articles/39876?intaffil=lpemail

Hi louis, only had it once today. Not so in quite a while. Did the US do something bad to the aussies so they retaliate ?

Got it about a week ago, but it quickly went away after I refreshed and closed my browser.

Yeah - I'm getting the same message, with the picture of the bus with the two cars on the top of it.
Yesterday and today, it's been very slow posting here for me in The UK (on any branch) - too.

Had same message only once yesterday. No issues today although the page refreshes are getting slower.

May be they need to clean up old threads and optimise the datastore?

I've just had a very slow time accessing the website, and clicking on anything on it takes a long time also. This has never been one of the better websites as slow responses are frequent, plus every now and then those messages. But the last click was fast, so maybe my problems are temporarily over.

And this message was immediately accepted. I've learned along time ago to make a copy of any long messages in case the website malfunctions and destroys them before they are posted.

Same here, for the last hour or so. Seems OK now - though.

#11, "I've learned along time ago to make a copy of any long messages in case the website malfunctions and destroys them before they are posted." I have also learned to do that. It is really frustrating to have lost your work after spending a lot of time on it. Sometimes I do it in Word and copy and paste it into the forum. It also helps with my spelling, something I am not good at.

The problem seems to be getting better, only a couple times today, but yesterday was really bad.

Yeah, losing your messages was a problem- I now always copy all messages: long or short. My browser has auto-correct so that's the reason the number of typos in my posts have been reducing.
