Bad internet connection(all of them seem to be quirky these days, even Verizon).
Pelican servers skip sometimes, so wait and jones for a while.

I use Google Chrome and Mozilla FireFox as my main browsers and only use IE when I am troubleshooting. Have a few different browsers available and try another browser when you're experiencing problems to confirm that it's not the browser getting "wonky" on you, it happens!

Happens to me too...I just go elsewhere when it slows down. Seems to be only on Pelican. I've noticed the site flys about around midnight, western time zone.

Ok, Wayne, some of us are having a problem accessing PP.
For me it is random. The page will eventually appear but sometimes it is very slow to appear. Socal fiber 25/25 Tried different dns's but still no joy.

Thanks for the responses, I took the advice of a few pelicans on here and switched my browser to Google Chrome. The difference is night and day...fast with zero error messages. And for kicks I went back to IE just to experiment, and the same old error messages appeared.
A quick aside, I owned an old lexus a few years ago and figured i'd be entertained on the forum boards there. then an old caddy, and so on. porsche guys/gals are by far the most entertaining, passionate, and knowledgeable of any car owners, and the most eager to help. that's just an observation, as if you didn't already know. i better go before i get too emotional. thanks for your help..see you down the road.

I find that while your server may be quite responsive, content from other sites sometimes hangs or takes quite a while to load, which can block the page from loading properly.
Whether it's a remote ad server, or Google Analytics, it can sometimes require a refresh to load properly. Sometimes it can just be the initial DNS resolution that hangs things. $0.02 |

I just know it really gets slow for me from time to time. Has done so for several weeks. But if I leave here, then come back, things improve...just weird.

i saw some complaints on this the last couple of weeks and i agree, this site has been very slow to unresponsive for me also. This is using either IE or FF, although worse with IE, and from many different places/cities/computers across the country. ( as i travel quite a bit for work)

I predominately use Firefox and Chrome, on both Windows and OS X, both from my home office and a corporate office.
It doesn't really matter which one I use from either environment, it's the loading of the off-site content that hangs stuff for me. I find it to be a big problem for a lot of sites that now incorporate various third-party served content... if the ad-server is slow in responding, the main page that it was feeding will not render until it's been provided. A lot of web pages don't provide the required information to build the page until that other content is loaded, so it appears to hang in a white-screen until it gets that other content. If I enable my ad-blocker, the problem goes away, for the most part. But I'd rather not do that for sites I want to support. |

IE9 sucks.....dumped and use 8, no issues. I get message upgrades requests from various sites but just ignore them. No issues on this site.
