Hi Donovanfraser
The site admin was doing some work on the site yesterday upgradging the technical stuff that will help support people with an ipad. You may have got on when this was happening.
Things seem to running ok for me so give it another go. Other than that maybe it's a browser problem.
Hope it helps

I think it must be you. Everything works fine on my end.

Re: what is with this site?
Interesting that I get a lot of what the originator of this thread is talking about. I am using Windows 7, (same issue when I had Windows XP), Chrome as my browser, and Comcast as my ISP (38 Meg down/ 8 Meg up). I get a lot of times where I click on links and have to wait 5-10 minutes before the page shows up. This is nothing new, seen it for many months, just never reported it & saw this thread. Just wondering if others see this. Actually, it just happened about 11:40 CDT today.

Hi Tony
Have you tried a different browser.
I use firefox and though like all programes and the net there are delays for various reasons. I've not experienced continual hanging for that long on chordie.
It's just a suggestion.... as you probably know there's nothing written in stone where the net is concerned..

Re: what is with this site?
Before I sinc up iPad
I have loaded like 250 songs in my song book with extensive editing to correct wrong chord positions etc, along with Original tunes since the last time I synced up my iPad.
Here is my question.
When I sink my iPad up to my iMac, will my songs be backed up like everything else does when I sync it up? Just super nearvous about some glitch erasing all my work.
Re: what is with this site?
Donovan,
Things should work the same as usual for you in sync..... but, I'm a little nervous about having all my eggs in one basket too. Backup things you never want to lose to some sort of durable media before trying anything that you've not done successfully before. A careful man seldom gets injured.
Take Care;

Re: what is with this site?
I have the problem with slow downloads on a frequent basis. I will say that the problem is more apt to show up in the late afternoons 1700 - 2400 and at night. I have also noticed that I can log in, download several songs and after 8 or so, then the system will slow down. I'm running a brand new computer w/Windows 7 and Firefox is my browser. I noticed the same problem before when I had an older machine and used IE as well as Firefox. I had supposed when I got new equipment the problem would go away, but it hasn't.

Hi 'h' and welcome to the forum,
I would guess that this is your internet provider's system being slowed down by the amount of traffic it is having to handle.

Re: what is with this site?
Roger I frequently get low loads on chordie, as well, and I'm on a very fast internet connection.
Re: what is with this site?
I use firefox. WIndows 7. I used to have problems in that internet provider provides free security software, and I also had bought Norton antivirus. THese don't work together and seem to recognize the other as a threat. It's like you're so well locked down nothing can get in or out. Use one or the other. Hope that helps. It almost never runs slow for me, so I'm thinking your computer is holding you back.

Re: what is with this site?
i used firefox for a couple of years till a recent update did all kinds of funny stuff to my computer. so naturally, i dumped firefox and now use ie and google chrome, it can still be slow but at least it works....eventually. having said that, it has been a lot faster lately.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: what is with this site?
I've always found chordie a bit slower than the rest. It's still the best though. What's a few seconds between friends?
Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??
