Hey! I'm new here. I found this site from the Seventh Sanctum. It's very interesting... I've always wanted to create AI's.

Welcome, and I hope you have as much fun as I do! The people and bots are great here!

Thanks. I've started working on my first Bot.

I've had the Forge freeze up on me four times today - is this just my browser, or have other people had this happen?

I have had to sign out and come back later a couple of time too.

Was that the old timing out problem where the Forge just stops responding and won't do anything until you log off, or did it crash/lock up the whole browser? Or even the whole computer?

Just the Forge stopped responding, then when I logged in, it was very slow.

I had Word and IE up simultaneously. IE froze up. I could still use Word, as long as I didn't try to exit from it, presumably because exiting from World would have forced my system to put up a window for IE.

In 4 cases out of 5 I was able to use control-alt-delete to get out of IE, whereupon things returned to normal. In the fifth case, even control-alt-delete wouldn't respond, so I had to turn my computer off and on.

I got all the latest updates for my MacAfee Virus Scan and ran it, butit found nothing. Today, so far, so good!

As to slow: sometimes it takes 5 minutes or mre just to change pages at the Forge, or for a bot to respond to me. I have not been able to log out properly for some time; I click on the Forge Log Out button, the little world starts turning...and eventually the Forge page is replaced by "This page cannot be displayed." The little world keeps turning - I Clicked "Log Out" last night and went to bed, and in the morning it was still turning. So if I want to log out and be done with it, I just click on the "X" at the farthest top right. I know that is not the proper way to do it, but the other way doesn't work!

Right now it seems a lot better! I've changed several pages and they were pretty quick!

Still no luck with upload, though!
