Hello. Is the server here fixed? Did they change to a 'new' server in their gallery switch? I see it was down for the 'intial changeover' and then again for some time wednesday.

Right now, it is CRAWLING for me. Takes 3 minutes on Broadband to load up a page? Grrr ....

SUSIQ and whomever: I saw this thread post and I also finally was able to view your same info/upload in the writer's gallery.

When I tried to click onto my previous uploaded image, LABELS, I brought up the page after 3 minutes, clicked onto 'edit' and did so.

However, it then said ----   "The notes for your image exceed the maximum size for this gallery (4096 characters). Please adjust your notes and try again." 

???? LOL!

So, it appears to dumb old me, that the previous character limitations are now reduced? To 4096 characters per written uploaded piece? What was the 'old' limit of characters?

I  just now tried  to upload a new written work which was less in length/pages than my LABELS prior work but it gave me the same, above 4096 error message. ???

QUESTION 1: How does one 'count' easily the numbers of characters in a Microsoft WORKS Word document?

QUESTION 2: When one says 'characters' is that only relevant to actual typed 'characters' or does it include how man 'lines' of space is being used in a copy/paste document from top to bottom?

Is one 'line' across considered one 'character'?

Thanks, in advance, for any and all help. MUCH appreciated.

Are moderators here being told exactly 'why' the slow speeds of this site still and if/when it will be back to something decent?

Respectfully,
