Is it me or another wonderful Gather glitch?

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this or not, but I thought I would ask. since our last upgrade I have been unable to view any videos. All I get is a partially blank page. Now I have no problem anywhere else on the net, so I can't see it being my computer. Anyone else been having this issue?

I can't view video at all since I'm on dial up, so I can't help, sorry :~(

Oh boy do I remember those days of dial-up! Not that the speed I pay for is really worth a hoot. Thanks anyway Mary, and thanks for dropping by. Have a good nite.

I was thinking of doing just that Tinamarie. I just thought I'd give it one more shot. Tomorrow I will contact them, as its rather late right now, and I'm growing tired. Thanks for dropping by Tinamarie. Have a pleasant nite.

not for me. I am able to post..

I have been unable to view them. And this happened immediately after the last upgrade.
Donna Besso Oct 18, 2010, 11:42pm UTC
I haven't tried to view any.

Usually I view a few of them before getting offline, but have been unable to do so since the last upgrade. I hope Gather support can help me.

everytime Gather updates my abilities go in reverse direction! Hope someone can help you figure out this one, unfortunately its not me who can help!

Fran, Dee was counting on your help.
dee b. Oct 19, 2010, 6:22pm UTC
LOL Mr Dotani. I still appreciate her stopping by. At least I know that wuth every upgrade I'm not the only one who seems to have issues.
William Dotani Oct 19, 2010, 12:53pm UTC
I have not had any video watching problems. My problem with Gather is how slow the pages now load. Gather is much much slower than any other site me or my wife visit. Sometimes the loading is so slow that I just turn off my PC and do other things. I hate having my time wasted. The word Upgrade is an oxymoron when Gather does it.
William Dotani Oct 19, 2010, 12:56pm UTC
I have a fairly new PC with 7 GB of memory, so this problem is not on my end.
dee b. Oct 19, 2010, 6:27pm UTC
I agree with the slow loading of pages Mr Dotani. I mean yeah I have an old computer but darn nothing else goes as slow as Gather. Seems with most so called upgrades I run into an issue. Even with a small handful of post I get the same thing. A partial page. I even waited thinking maybe its just being reallllllll slow. But nope, thats not it. With 7 GB of memory your right its not on your end. Before the night is over I will contact Gather support, if I find the problem is still persisting. Seems so far I'm the only unlucky one with this.

The problem, in my opinion, is the ads. The ads are usually the loading problem according to my observations. Again, the customer gets screwed by an American company.

You very well may be dead on MrDotani. I checked with IE to see if I could view videos there and found I could, and its a tad bit faster too I might add. So I guess when I want to view videos I will go there. I'll just make a time just for videos as I don't much care for IE.
