I have cable internet and several times in the past two weeks (I've been on holiday from work) I've tried browsing the galleries then tried clicking on member options and trying to get to my gallery. It just hangs. I can't seem to get to anything related to Member Options but the MarketPlace has no issues which I thought rather strange. Then sometimes I get a "MYSQL Server has gone away" response and it logs me out.
Maybe MYSQL server has gone away because it can't handle the slowness either? :oD so coolcatcom it's not just you.

I'm sure there is a reason for this... it would just be nice not to be a mushroom sometimes ;o) and I'm probably being overly optimistic here, but I'm sure it will be sorted out eventually.
