I've been experiencing the same issues, and though I understand and empathize with UrStyle, realizing how limited they are in employees and just how intricate and intense the actual coding and running of this website is, I also feel frustration. I happen to have a tremendous amount of patience, perhaps more than I should, and even my "infinite" patience is being tested. However, one thing I can offer until UrStyle corrects this issue is this: a free program called CCleaner.
This program will quickly scour your computer/device and locate any unneeded and unwanted files that are slowing down your computer's performance, compromising security, and interfering with your internet connection, which includes your ability to quickly "download" information from a website (hence; the spinning circles).
Whenever we view a website, we are literally downloading information from it, but this process works in the background. The spinning circles can indicate many things, one of which is that our computers are clogged. I think this, AND the fact that UrStyle needs to improve it's servers, is a huge part of the spinning circles problem. So let's at least address what we can on our end.
If you read the CCleaner description and then help yourself to the free version (link provided), you can then give your computer a quick clean. Follow that with the included Registry Clean option and you should see a marked improvement.
DESCRIPTION: https://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

I've used this software for years, and as a computer geek, I highly recommend it. I just used it due to spinning circles and my connection is fine --- for now. Again, there are issues on UrStyle so we can only do so much. When it happens again, just 2 minutes of running CCleaner (It's very quick --- unless you have a build-up of extraneous unneeded files!), and I should be back in action!
Just download and install, then run it.
CCleaner is FREE and pre-set to clean only "garbage" files. It WILL NOT delete your personal files; only files/records left behind by websites and program installations. For security, it will also remove "password cookies". Therefore, when you go back to UrStyle, you'll be asked to log in again. If your log-in and password information is stored in your browser, it will appear automatically for you and you can log in with ease.Try it and let me know how you make out!

Thanks so much darling for that tip on that cleaner!! I took your advice and downloaded it cleaned everything up nicely, did my registry as well. My system is definitely running smoother and faster! Going to check out how Urstyle is now, will let you know if there is any improvement...
-
@cindu12 YAY! I'm waiting with fingers crossed for you too!

appreciate all shared here by everyone! the spinning is a true patience tester! so do not want to lose this site and hope a fix can be found. right now it isn't very usable on a day to day basis... thanks for the computer clean up suggestion @FunkyJunkyGypsy ! i will try that! please keep me posted if anything new comes about. there is also another page where this issue is being discussed, don't know how to tie the two together as i am technology challenged...

@FunkyJunkyGypsy Thank you for the suggestion. I downloaded the cleaner. When I tried to run it, I got a message that the app cannot run on my PC.:(

@debraelizabeth What version of Windows are you running? Or do you use a MAC?
-
@funkyjunkygypsy Does it work on a Mac ? I know Apple really don't like you to use something they didn't make !!

Okay, read this and follow the instructions. You may need the latest update for Windows:

@FunkyJunkyGypsy Thanks so much!:)

Another factor... Too many open windows. I know... If you close a Draft it will realign, and many of us are having problems saving Drafts. I get it. Even opening a new browser window rather than a new tab still has the effect of "overloading" UrStyle. I know it sucks, but it is what it is for now. Using two different browsers will not help you.
UrStyle is "downloading" information to you, which is what happens when a page fills in and you get all the info and images. This information goes into a folder called Temporary Internet Files. UrStyle "cookies" (placemarkers to make loading faster) are also stored there. The cleaner I recommended gets rid of all that old junk, BUT by opening several windows at once, the folder refills. Urstyle is forced to download info from the various open pages into one location: your computer.
Every time I've gotten the "Bad Gateway" message, it shows a symbolic map of connections, such as my computer/network, connected to a server that acts as both receiver and sender, and then to the final location: UrStyle. It is ALWAYS UrStyle that is the problem. It is not the servers that connect with my computer or my computer, though removing previous UrStyle data by cleaning my Temporary Internet Files really helps!
Keeping one window open, two at most, is going to make it easier for you to connect and stop the spinning circle. Just curious: How many of you are keeping multiple UrStyle windows open when creating?

@funkyjunkygypsy You are a tech genius!! I saw on twitter that Urstyle is having trouble with their main servers so I just now was able to log back in. Our team is trying to resolve the issue caused by hosting provider. URSTYLE should back online in a few minutes

@funkyjunkygypsy Taking all your advice on the multiple windows and love the cleaner! Going in again, wich me luck!!
-
@cindu12 Keep me posted, please!

@cindu12 A computer geek, for sure. I just cannot let machines win! LOL!

@funkyjunkygypsy Thank you so much for the tip about CCleaner. Just downloaded it. I've been experiencing problems on URStyle all week. I wrote @olivpear a message about it yesterday. When I go to the create screen, the drafts icon doesn't always show up so I keep refreshing the page & eventually it will come back for awhile. I was on last night after 2 a.m. PST & things worked well but I presume that was due to less user traffic. Thanks for the tip too on not opening multiple windows.

@romaboots My pleasure!
