Hating, waiting

I have now been waiting over forty minutes for my email to load.

Edited: I left it trying to load and clagging everything else up for 90 minutes and then gave up. If you've emailed me anything it's going to have to wait. Sorry.

LJ and Subeta are much less problematic, but the Doorstop (I always name anything I have to work with) seems to find Yahoo rather indigestible.

I'm not even attempting Neopets. This wouldn't be a big deal - I really only go there to keep the pets neolodged and check my stocks these days - except that I was meant to be transferring one of my labrats to someone else. That annoys me.

I am also not attempting [livejournal.com profile] driveforlife. I feel a great deal worse about this than I do about Neo, obviously, but it depends rather heavily on being able to access the email account. I should be able to pick it back up after the weekend, though.

I can get on IM, but only if I shut everything else down. So I am not doing that much either.

So if I've not answered a comment or communication, that will be why. I am sorry. I hope very much the problems will be over after the weekend. Also, [livejournal.com profile] topbit completely rules. Just for the record.

Sounds a little like what I went through with Yahoo!Mail nearly four years ago. They made an unannounced "upgrade" which was (according to them) seven different kinds of fantastic, but in actual practice was not very useful at all as Yahoo had decided it was now much too cool for the old machine I was using and locked up my browser every time I went to check for messages.

I still have the Yahoo! account and occasionally reactivate it and visit its acres of spam, but Gmail has been quite satisfactory for me as a mail account since that business.

yeah, that's about the size of it. You can switch Yahoo back to "classic mode" which is a bit less load-intensive, but when I did that yesterday it switched back unasked to "too cool for you" mode every time I read an email.

And today I have not been able to get it to load at ALL. So sod that.
