Is it just me or is en world loading slow..i have tried from three different computers using aol and internet explorer and the pages just hang or i get a blank screne?
OCC: Waiting for a bunch of charcters to act in all the games..
It's not just you. I believe it started when the ads mysteriously appeared. Makes ya go: 'Hmmmmmm." Think of it as an ongoing reminder that PATIENCE is a Virtue!
Yes, I'm finding it almost impossible to post. Very frustrating. I think rather than the ads being the problem, it has more to do with increased interest in 4e and higher traffic. The admins are struggling to control prerformance issues. The good news is that Wizards is paying top dollar for those annoying sidebar ads and that should give the boards a financial boost. I just hope they invest it in something to give us more speed.
I also believe it's a traffic issue. I get pages up with (comparatively) 'blazing speed' early in the mornings, but by afternoon when I get home from work it's dragging terribly.
OK. I am not the only one having trouble getting the site to load then. Definitely a traffic issue. This is the only site I have trouble with.

Yes, EN World is horribly slow these days. It has even slowed my posting down to a crawl compared to how I normally post. I have the worst posting habits for this type of issue: I have lots of short-duration timeslots free to post during the day, but if a single post takes ten minutes to load, it really limits what I can do.

Just lost my Hard Drive this morning. Will be a few days before I can get things back up and running. Have to wait until the shop opens tomorrow before they can look at it. Then get a new drive in and start reloading all my software.
Hopefully I will be back by the end of the week.

Am I the only one having trouble with Invisible Castle?
When I search for Anniston's rolls it comes back with an empty result. If I try to roll dice with a character name then it shows the result, but it does not record the roll under the character's name.
Do I have to register? (I never registered before!) Invisible Castle has always worked great before, but a few days ago it started acting like it is not saving the rolls by character name.
When I looked at Jaroth's most recent roll it showed it to me (so obviously the rolls are being stored in the database), but even on Jaroth's roll the character url is blank (well, not blank, but it only has this: http://invisiblecastle.com -- whereas before it would have included a character code so I could see all of Jaroth's rolls).
Hmmm, I'm not having a problem. Here are links to some rolls that I made this morning that look fine when I go to them. But I was logged in when I rolled and when I looked them up. When I just visited they were fine. Check them and see if you can view all the information. I have character and campaign name when I view them.
Anyway, an account is free and gives you the advantage of putting in a champaign name which will make it easy for the DM to look up everyone's rolls. I've have been putting them in and eventaully will ask that players use them if most people start logging in to roll. Try a search on campaign name 'Constables'. Oh I just thought of something else. The log ins are case sensitive. Make sure your searches match the case of the original entry and see if that helps.
Thanks, Scotley. I can see your character info. I appreciate the advice. I have registered and I can now create rolls using a character name.
I think part of the problem is that I have not posted any rolls for Anniston in quite awhile. I know that invisiblecastle will truncate older data and it is possible that Anniston's most recent rolls have been truncated.
I still can't entirely explain why my user experience changed so drasticly a few days ago. I have registerd with invisible castle and now I can roll dice and it will store the rolls under my character name. I did not previously need to be registered in order to keep rolls under a character name, but evidently now I do.
Here is the link for a named stat roll I created on June 5th. I was able to see this roll before, but now I can't. I was not registered when I created it. Perhaps it has also been truncated:
invisiblecastle.com/stats/view/17263/
I also noticed that the last roll from Jaroth was not associated with a character name. Perhaps Canaan needs to register as well in order to preserve rolls using a character name.
In any case, registering with invisiblecastle seems to have resolved my problem, so I do not need to keep discussing it in this thread.
