Am I the only one who is having these problems? When I try to get online, I have been getting that OG is not a Secure site (HTTPS) and it takes me to a HTTP site asking me to log in. When I try to LOG IN, it gives me an error message. Also when I am able to get into the secure site, when I click on a particular subject, the site will buffer for 5 to 10 seconds before going to the subject. Does the site have a problem or is it on my end? Any help would be Greatly appreciated.
It's been really slow. I only work from my phone so thought that might be the problem.
It's been slow
Been slow for me as well. Both on mobile and desktop.
Yes, for the last few days it's been really slow etc...
Slow here also.
I'll take a look intonit , I might have to have some routine maintenance performed
Thanks Shannon and to all the responses. I hadn't seen anyone start a thread, so I thought it may have been on my end. I haven't had any problems on the other sites that I frequent. Thanks again!
I also having problems for the past few days. I used to stay logged in, now when I come to the site I am not logged in. When I try to log in I goes to a box that says "error". I am able to eventually get in but it is a effort. I have not noticed the slow speed

Mine is identical to yours NCL but it also has slow speed with buffering for 5 to 10 seconds. I get into the secure site on occasions, but it may take several attempts.
It appears it's back to normal speed now, for me.
Okay..... here's the situation , we had a bunch of off shore "bots" or search engines crawling the site ... I went in and banned these off shore bots up to late in the night ....when too many search engines , bots or the like get on a website it will slow ot down....
If anyone got caught up in it and accidentally got banned , first try logging on "regular " to make sure its not a tapatalk issue ....then get a hold of me - via Facebook on the OG page

Thanks for the update and fix Shannon. I just this minute, got online and everything is Perfect. My path to OG went flawlessly. The path took me to the secure site, instant download and zero scrolling. Thanks for ALL you do to put up with us!
Same here. I tried to get on tapatalk this morning and i was banned. All is working now.

Thanks Shannon, it's working fine now
I tried to get on the site last night and it said I was banned. My first thought was "surprised it took so long" ;D
...My second thought was "I guess I can move on to something more productive in my life now"...but this morning I am back on. So much for that future productivity... ;D :D
Working great this morning! Whatever maintenance you did it worked. Thanks!
OK.
I went from "logged out" to "error" to "banned" to back in thd saddle. :happy0064:
Thanks for the emotional support, JohnBoy !!! :z-dizzy:
Some of the ip#s had hits over 100,000 plus each probably 100 were like that sending data sends
...and I banned about 200 main ip#s with each number having a range of 1,000 ip#s each -
I lifted the ban , on thise bots so if anyone has trouble getting in , log out of tapatalk then try and get back in
Shannon, thanks for all you do to keep the sight going for us.

It seems the problem has been corrected, at least at first glance. When I signed in today I was signed in so maybe OG found the problem
Damned bots, on line or on the phone. I miss the 60s.
