Tribe was basically out for me from Fri. 2/13 through Sunday 2/22 -- I got on after a friend forwarded a plea to the help center on Tues. and they had no explanation for it, and everybody I knew was on just fine. So it seemed to be affecting very few. But then it immediately tanked again - a couple of times I was able to get on but not to post anything. It's now that all the dead rats in the walls that Darren built are coming to light, I think, and stinking up the place.
The CSS code must be trying to pull the page framing and graphical content from "images.tribe.net".
This must be a separate server from the main "home.tribe.net" one since this one has no problems loading the login screen from my experience.
Whether the image sever has a serious issue or there is a bottleneck, the page loading process halts or times out right there. Sometimes the browser does "load" a basic rudimentary version of the page, sans any CSS formatting and graphical content and the site is still functioning even if it is slow. I was still able to send a pm and browse some tribes whilst the pages were rendering in such a way.
Yep, I am officially frustrated. It has been long enough now to get it together. It seemed like they did, and now we are back to the same ole' song and dance my friend.
Yah, servers are down, and I have been so totally frustrated wanting to talk to my friends, but no worries, they were all either partying, or asleep last night, and trying to reach them on a computer is kinda lame. After all, I'd rather dance than type, But lacking the dance floor, a keyboard works fine, and keeps me amused.
