Erika, I usually get on in the morning and again in the late afternoon. My problems have usually been in the late afternoon and today was NO EXCEPTION. I signed on (around 4 p.m.) and was able to look at a post and then look at another post on THAT particular page, but when I tried to go to the previous page, I could not. I could not change topics, add a post, sign off or do anything. So, I left Bella, opened a new window and worked for a few hours. I tried to sign on a couple of times after that and the site would not open. Around 6 p.m., I was able to get back onto Bella, AND I WAS STILL SIGNED ON. So, that is a problem that I am STILL having. The weird thing is that even though I was kicked off and not able to do anything ON Bella, I was still signed on apparently.
Yesterday, Monday, I was on for an hour + and was answering a post when I was once again blocked. (I have learned to use EDIT and COPY/PASTE to save my work, since I have lost many longs posts through all of this). I worked in a different window for an hour + and was able to finish my post. This same problem happened Sunday night (or Monday morning at 1:30 or 2 a.m.). This are the kinds of problems I've been having ALMOST every day since last Thursday, when the notice went up that the update was finished.
To me, Erika, the update still has some glitches that definitely need to be worked out.
By the way, I have cablespeed internet and there has been no problem with any other sites and my connection is immediate. Thanks for caring and asking and staying with the problem!
Trish
I just tried to post this to you and got the following error message, which I am sending to you. It is 8:30p.m. and I did not lose the post (even though I HAD SAVED IT, in edit)
