Every single page is taking over a minute to load... and it’s been like this all morning! I’ve been working harder than Jesus Christ just trying to scroll through the BB forums. If I can't even get the pages to pull up, how am I supposed to know what needs moderating? 🙂

No—seriously, is there any actual chance this gets fixed? 😠

Honestly, I'm totally fine with it...

Look, I'm happy for you if you've figured it out, but as for me? I'm still hanging onto the ceiling by my toenails while foaming at the mouth.🙂

Man, this site is driving me crazy. Their main news portal loads at least thirty times faster than this forum does. Honestly, we should all just head over there, ditch this place, and start a total boycott!

Look, we all knew this kind of thing was coming eventually, but I never imagined it would drag on this long... absolute madness.

Well, alright then. I feel a bit better now.
I honestly thought I was the only one struggling with this kind of thing. 😁

Honestly, I feel relieved knowing this mess is happening everywhere! But how long is this going to drag on? I don't even have the patience to read about it, let alone write, when everything moves at such a snail's pace!😢

Just grab Mozilla Firefox, toss an adblock extension on there, and make sure you block everything coming from Media Matters—once you do that, everything will run perfectly smooth...

I’d love to actually get things done if this weren't a corporate machine. It’s impossible to work when you're trapped behind a restrictive firewall with zero admin privileges. If I had my own laptop without all these IT shackles, I could actually function. 😬

And I truly hope it at least provided some relief for the folks just browsing from their couches. 🙂

How much longer is this going to drag on? Honestly, I have no clue. Even Angela Hill is playing it by ear, and she’s the one running the show here. Anderson hasn't even weighed in yet. So, what are we supposed to do? Just sit around and wait—watching our hair turn from blonde to gray in real-time while nothing gets done. 🙂

Mozilla Firefox takes an absolute eternity to load anything at all, whereas if I just stick to Internet Explorer—and I make sure to disable all those pesky scripts—everything pops up in a matter of seconds.

me, on the other hand, I'm going blonde...😢 (yeah—I'm talking about that whole journey where my reddish-brown hair eventually turns blonde) and just waiting...

🙂

Same boat over here. 😢

Yeah, right. I’ve already got all that set up and it’s still running like crap. Especially today.

Are you 100% sure you put the asterisks right after Media Matters in your adblocker settings? Because I tried doing them one by one and it didn't work until I just blocked the whole thing at once...

Man, seriously... (god, what an idiot I am. She just tells me "screw this" out of nowhere and here I am trying to play tech support)

Seriously, for the second time... (man, what an idiot. she basically tells me to screw off and here I am still trying to help)

Everything’s working now, checked it. No clue what happened or why, just one of those days... maybe I should just switch back to Edge?

And don't get mad about the "screw off" comment, I'm just cranky because of this crap... thanks for trying to help, sweetie 😘
