PM Website breaking?

[arlolior]

Anyone else experiencing PM's website break when they try and access the Community?

Every so often, for me, it won't load or it will only partially load, sometimes the links are broken or incorrect (I tried clicking on My Account and it took me to PM's Youtube).

@mpcdesign @ShawnC13  hey guys can we stay in topic here. Lol 

I get me daughter to draw for me. Shes 1. 

 

[mpcdesign]

That does look nice. I haven't drawn anything unless it's a wireframe or logo design. 

I did buy a Viewsonic 32 monitor so that I can give my 24" Samsung monitor to my folks who was using 15" squared monitor. It was so old, it wasn't funny.

@ShawnC13, no I never used one a surface before. One of my managers went to the Adobe Conferences in the States, and Microsoft was one of the presenters. At the end of the presentation, they gave the audience a Surface. What? Yep, a Surface. 

My manager shows me it. And then puts it back into his cabinet...it never saw the light again!

But, I have seen some students who swear by it. 

What do you use?

Oh that wasn't a surface tablet is was the surface Studio it is a 28" touch screen that swivels down like a drafting table.  I got no artistic skills I use a piece of paper and a pencil.  I need a ruler to draw a stickman body lol

@ShawnC13, yes am an artist but, this is what I have 

Computer = MacBook

Phone = Android

Tablet = Amazon Fire

Streaming = Chromecast

So, no iPhone, or iPad nor Apple TV!

@mpcdesign  that is very impressive than it truly is your work platform.  It is to bad the Microsoft Surface Studio didn't get as big as I thought it could have.  Have you used one?  https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/p/surface-studio-2/8SBJXM0M58T4?activetab=pivot%3aoverviewtab

@ShawnC13 , am so frugal with myself, only the cheapest stuff for me!?

Apple products are costly to be honest with you!

Wow, I must have missed all that!? No slowness or issues on my end. Granted, I do on a daily basis clear all my cache, cookies and browser history on my phone or MacBook do things can hum along smoothly.v

Maybe try that.

But, don't forget, the whole country is working from home 75% that is, while the rest is essential services.

@mpcdesign oh you artsy types with all the fancy apple products lol

@arlolior in the first week it was fine, like three weeks ago. This week it has been a bit brutal. So maybe maintenance is due soon.

@ten2goYou might have nailed it there....mine would slow my internet to a crawl sometimes. Thankfully I don't need it anymore.

[ten2go]

I had a thought, in case it might be helpful to anyone else with a similar challenge.

It might be my VPN because the server is in NJ and not in Canada.  Perhaps PM has filters for robots or spam that may cause the freeze-up problem.  It happened again just now with only one tab open.

Just another interesting conundrum in the wonderful world of computers.

@ten2go

You are doing everything right so a little strange that it's not responding...i have reinstalled Firefox in the past which helped. Sometimes it's just glitchy for the day.

[ten2go]

Thank you for your reply.

It started with a temporary freeze when I tried a reply an hour ago.

Only with PM and it should not have been too busy at 5:30 a.m. eastern.

I only use Firefox private browsing, so it is clean and cleaned every time I go out.

Also, use CCleaner almost every time and shut down when I'm finished my internet time two or three times a day.

So it is a mystery to me.

@ten2go 

I have issues creep up every once in awhile. Close all your tabs and clear the browser history and reboot.

[ten2go]

Thank you @computergeek541 that is probably right.  I use Firefox and usually have at least a half a dozen tabs on the go - which was the case the first time.  The last two times only a couple of tabs open.  It is an older computer but more than enough ram for everything else.  A text forum shouldn't be too CPU intensive in my other experience.  I will have to check the CPU usage - currently below 10% with spikes into the 20's.  Thanks again.

You're probably look at either a web browser software issue or that the Public Mobile website is rather CPU intensive that your computer can't keep up.

The only issue I have been having is people can't seem to reach the mods when they need them, and I get messages from the mods periodically for no apparent reason (it looks like they are responding to another member's issue but for some reason it goes to me.) Happened again today, and a few times in the past couple of months. Otherwise the website has always worked fine for me.

[Murco]

No problems here. I am using Firefox.

I haven't experience the my account page redirects to YouTube, but I do experience slowness.

Sometimes, when you have multiple account pages open up, I experience some slowness.

Also, brower extensions like Adblocker, uOrigin, Ghostery mine also impact the performance as well as certain JavaScript loading.

Try a different brower, or incognito mode and see if it remediates the issue.
