Entrecard, It’s a Painful Process

Entrecard, It’s a Painful Process

posted in a little bit of everything |

Over the last week, I have attempted numerous times to keep up with my Entrecard drops. Unfortunately, it seems that almost every time I have time to sit in front of the computer and attempt to drop, Entrecard is suffering from site issues. Over the last couple of days, it has become a crapshoot if I can even get the Dashboard to come up, it usually times out and I simply don’t have time to wait until they get their act together.

This afternoon, I really began noticing that whenever I was trying to open Entrecard’s website, Firefox was locking up. I was having to close the browser and then, I couldn’t even reopen Firefox without having to first reboot my computer. Again, I just don’t have time for this!

As a last ditch effort, I double clicked on the Google Chrome icon on my desktop, guess it came on my computer, I’ve just never even noticed it before, much less used it. Lo and behold, I was actually able to not only get into EC, but I was able to drop over 100 cards. Then it happened, I got the same old message that the EC server was busy or overloaded.

I really don’t want to give up on EC, but I wish I knew if they were even trying to fix the problem. I miss visiting all my favorite sites, I’m sorry if I wasn’t able to get to you today or over the past few days. I do hope they get their server issues taken care of, it would be nice if they could update the members as to what is really going on.

Take care and I’ll try to visit when I can!

    Could Entrecard be going down for the count? Or maybe tweaking things for something new?

    The recent changes to Google Reader and Facebook were enough nonsense for this droPPer!

    Let’s see what develops…

    I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had problems with it the past month. If you comment on blogs that you’re visiting, they’ll know that you’ve still stopped by, even when you can’t drop.

    I ditched EC years ago and haven’t looked back. I think your time is better spent bookmarking those favorite blogs and actually visiting and commenting on them. You can also find new blogs to enjoy just by reading other comments on the blogs you like.

    My following increased by this method when I left EC and I’ve enjoyed my blogging experience so much more!!

    Ditch the button, pally. You won’t miss it, believe me!

    I’m starting to wonder if I should drop them. The site has been down since yesterday. I have gotten some followers and comments from fellow EC pals. I don’t know but you aren’t the only one having doubts about EC. I just haven’t had as much time networking as I should with all this school work and finals coming up. I do plan on doing lots of networking once my finals are over.

    @Rose @Lin @Bonnie – you guys have the right attitude. If the service doesn’t improve I’ll be forced to drop out of EC…

    I’ve tried Google Chrome, IE & Firfox, they will drop for a while then EC widgets won’t load properly. Doing anything on the EC card site is impossible. Would you know if there is another service similar to EC?

    A few people are reporting Firefox locking up. The widgets aren’t displaying properly so what’s the point of buying ads. And the latest problem, the widget scanner is broken again, so virtually every blog is marked as “no widget”. I wonder how much longer Entrecard will last…

    I also experienced slow loading of EC. Then few days ago they had a bug in the system and they were fixing to remove it. After that, when I logged in, it couldn’t find the code in my blogs. So I had to replace the code. I hope this will do good this time.
