I still don't think you know how bad DS has gotten over the past week or so. Even if you do, that's only one part of the reason why we've been so frustrated. And how temporary is this patch? Will it really help? And, for the bigger question, how come it took you guys this long to let us know you're working on it? That's what really bothers me.

I agree that it's much worse than you realize.

I think they realize more than you think they realize, but they still do not realize all that you realize.


I think.

I have realized that I often don't realize everything I think I realize so I am not sure if realizing this is actually a realization.

Wondering if they already 'patched' today because the system has been 'bery, bery good to me' today. I just realized this today .. I think.

I'll admit Pepper....that hurt my brain. O_O lol

Still, I'm glad they're working on a solution, but I wish the would have told us they're trying to find the problem when this all started. That would have given us some reassurance that they listen instead of making some of us feel like we're on our own. That's what I feel they don't realize. Nobody was here to tell us what's going on, or if anything was being done to fix things. That's really my main problem.

My head is spinning :p).

I agree w/Red,

I do want to thank DS for finally communicating with us.

My navigating & chat experience since yesterday is greatly improved. But I've heard from many of my friends that they are still experiencing major lag time and multiple hugs, pm, journal comments & the dreaded invisible cursor.

For the past few days, I have been in frequent contact w/meebo and they are very communicative. That really does make a HUGE difference. It would be nice if DS followed suit. Even just in this community would be a good start.

Again, thank you DS for communicating!

I agree - you don't know what you don't know - that is the way we express it down here -LOL

Thank you TeamDS for writing here - but please can you come and do it more often?
Would do wonders for customer service and lowering the levels of frustration we have been experiencing.

Time will tell if the problem has been sorted. But might I point out that I was having the same and sometimes more problems than some of the others and I do not have meebo (for the very reason - it impacts too much on my system) any longer as I have it blocked.
So how can something I don't have impact on me too?

Ha...I thought there was something wrong with my computer! Well, I guess it needed a good cleaning anyway.

I don't think DS knows just how bad it is at the moment, triple of everything you send. If it is meebo causing the problem, get rid of 'em and do something that REALLY works. It is so frustrating, and I have noticed, a lot of people, just not using DS as much as they did,because of all the hassles, they are the last thing we need. I think that whateer upgrades DS have made are just stuffing the systlem.

I don't think it's meebo because it works just fine on other sites like FB and they don't have these types of problems. It's just easier to blame the other guy.

I've been in contact w/meebo and the fact that they have responded to EVERY ONE OF MY EMAILS & COMMENTS ON MY SUPPORT TICKET says a lot about them.

Plus, there are people on this site who have totally disabled the chat feature and still suffer from the same issues.

Seriously why would meebo cause the triplicate problems here but not on FB????

I have to agree with MTC.I've actually talked to a friend of mine, who is good with computers, and he has said something like Meebo bar wouldn't cause these kind of problems. The site would be slower, yes, but not all the things we've been experiencing.

It is a realization!! My realization is that it has never been that bad...until today, when they tried to fix it.

Murphy's law, applied here.

I have found that staying offline with meebo I have not had any of the problems ppl experience with the site using a 20+ mbs connection. but I have to agree I have long suspected meebo as the culprit. IMHO

LOL........Nobody666 says.................

I have found that staying offline I have not had any of the problems ppl experience with the site.


Well yea.........I suppose that would work.........if we all just stayed off of here we wouldn't have near the problems we do:):)

But of course I realize that I left out the word meebo, but I also realize that if we just stayed off here we wouldn't have any problems....we just need to realize that and go with it:)

I stay off line w/meebo a lot and still experienced all the problems: slow as molasses navigation of DS (as opposed to other sites) ONLY, multiples, missing email notifications & disappearing comments.

When signed on to meebo, my friends and I were constantly kicked off meebo. Now get this..we would just move to Facebook and use MEEBO there with absolutely no problems.

Let's see now, what could the common demoninator be? hmmmmm, it couldn't possibly be DS, now could it???
