Is anyone else having a problem accessing the website? Over the past week or so I've had trouble having to refresh webpages or even connecting to the site at all. Is anyone else experiencing any issues or is this just me?

I've had issues with loading "my books" pages - the ones that show what I've already read.
Oh! I forgot about that. That happened to me on yesterday, too.
Glad it wasn't just me. It does seem somewhat better today
I got kicked off yesterday. Total non access. Hopefully not today.
Same here. I was rather perturbed. Don't like falling behind ;)
One time (well one evening) it simply wouldn't let me log on, they seemed to get it cleared up. I haven't had a problem since.
I find that Goodreads experiences the odd clitch where you can't get on, or you get these annoying pop up things saying something like 'file #86234 is corrupt'.I find these problems happening more lately than, say, a year ago. It can get annoying, but I think the Goodreads team does a great job keepin up. For the most part.
Hmm. Here I thought you were gonna be talking about book haters or hijacked threads. :D
Lol...sorry to disappoint Carol ;)
Oh man, we hijack threads so much around here that no one even comments on it... :-D
I've never seen the big deal about a "hijacked" thread, at least in the way it's commonly used. it usually means some people have gotten involved in a side discussion. I usually doesn't impede the original discussion which can still go on and if you're not interested in the side discussion, just skip the posts and go on. I've never understood the people who get "livid" about it.
Me either, Mike. I feel as long as people are having a good conversation and I still feel I can talk about the topic...everything's good. :-)
Exactly! I mean, how are we supposed to know to keep Grant/Ala away from whiskey and garden gnomes & that Aloha has eaten Clay and signs into his account to throw us off the scent if we have to stay constantly on topic?? :-D
Your insight into the character of the forum members is staggering.
The gnome is sleeping things off in my front flower bed. (I offered to let hm bunk inside but he said it made him uncomfortable...probably good. He snores.)
I know...he's a maudlin drunk. After he had a few he kept going on about some Potter kid who flung him out of the garden where he used to live at some place called "The Borrow".
Lmao @ Grala :) I'm totally drawing that someday.

Some folks won't like it, but they don't have to participate. :)
ROTFLMAO!Grala, Alant, garden gnomes, whiskey, and canibalism... this would make a great TV show!
or we could combine them and you all can be Gralant...sounds like an Epic character anyway. You all can be a Bard like character, and spin long tales.I know-we have to open a thread on the never-ending adventures of Gralant the Mischevious!
!!! MOrning Coffee! (well, it was morning coffee... lol!
but wouldnt that be a great thread Ms J?....sorry
It would be, it'd be freaking hilarious!
Lol...Don't make me post audio files of me singing, Maggie ;) I'll blow your Bard idea wide open! :D
Though I totally think I could have been a storyteller. A shame that's not a profession these days

not one where you can earn a living anyway...which is a shamewe need to give you all a trusty steed too. I will have to put some thought into that
Eru bless you all, I badly needed a laugh this morning. Gralant - àla Grant! – reading faster than the Falcon can do the Kessel Run and maintaining that Han shot first …
I'm still trying to figure out how many hours there are in a "parsec". It's like, how many miles in a fortnight?
Umm, walking, riding (horse) or riding (cart/carriage)?
I think in "furrows", the distance an ox can pull a plow in a day.
I think they misused it, didn't they? A parsec is actually a unit of distance, not time. At least, that's how I learned it from Star Trek. Of course, I also learned, wrongly, the meaning of "sentient" from ST...
I had to look up the Falcon Kessel Run reference *stares at his toes in shame* sorry :)
Yes, that was my rather (please pronounce that as the British would "r-a-thur") obscure jest.... :) The big Star Wars screw-up using parsec as a measure of time.
Now will you go watch Star Wars?
Well the first 3 made...the last three made, supposed to be the first three parts of the story of course, are pretty pathetic.

Kessel is surrounded by Black Holes, so the routes to kessel are pretty limited and strict.
Saying he did it in 12 Parsecs means he skirted closer to the event horizons than anyone else would dare to(since he is, after all, a bad ass "shut yo mouth!", I'm just talkin' bout Han) and shaved off some of the distance others had to travel.
This, of course, is simply fanboi justification after the fact...

*nods understandingly* Ah. Understood. Well reasoned - like deducing that Chekov must have started aboard the Enterprise quite a while before we ever saw him, in order to have met Khan.
I'm...i'm not a big trekkie, so I don't know what that's about.
Hopefully my other self is, that way we've got the "Star ___" fanboism all covered.

And again!
I'm just being all kinds of obscure and fangrrl today.
Maggie, I created that thread! http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/5...
Feel free to start a thread any time you want. I may have created this group, but it belongs to, in my opinion, all members! :)
The only thing is that Lady Danielle and I might change which folder it appears in to keep think nice and tidy.
