Ning is Slow and some people are seeing "500 Error" messages [RESOLVED 8/24/12]

[Design Faerie]

Initially I thought it was "me"..but have been all over the net, flipped back and forth and the only site that absolutely drags is Ning-----started this morning..and "oh" just tried to ADD a discussion and got this the first 2 times

Same here, was just about to create a discussion titled: "500: UNEXPECTED ERROR" Every other time I access a Ning site, including Creators.ning.com, I receive an ERROR. I hope Ning sees this discussion.

Best,

Jen

as do I --it's getting just a "wee" bit frustrating---it's not us--it's Ning

I have a few reports of 500 errors and slowness, and our team is working on it. Follow along on our Status Blog for updates as soon as we have them: http://status.ning.com

Thanks for the update!

Just FYI: It is horrible on this end, can't really work on any Ning site due to slow response time.

All three of my NING sites are affected the same. I also notice in the Dashboard that the section where it shows NING's latest announcements to the NC, continues to try and load - it will not display.
