It happen also to me from time to time but I can still manage to connect and just refresh the page when it freeze. I thought that it is just fine coz I'm no more than a month member.... And I think the SERVER is located in China as what I gathered from the information the moderators posted here.... So I guess the time zone is not really the problem... The problem may be is the traffic and the SERVER's capacity to handle it. And may also the maintenance... And perhaps the MODERATORS should inform this to the ADMIN ASAP! As they have a direct contact with the Admin I guess... Because regular members doesnt have an access to SITE MANAGEMENT forum to bring out this matter. What do you think Barb?
