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!

@funkyjunkygypsy My Hero!!

@funkyjunkygypsy I don't ever have to clean my computer, I just have to reboot Urstyle! Most of the time, but I still get a lot of spinning circles. It's not peoples computers, it's Urstyle!
-
@rboowybe Yes, it IS UrStyle, but keeping a computer unclogged significantly helps one's connection WHEN UrStyle is working.

I agree that doing the cleaner, clearing the cache and not opening up to many links will help your performance on this site and I've done those things repeatedly but, it's also to many issues with this site. I've been an advocate for fixing the sites basic system issues before constantly trying to offer us more features we actually can't use because of the constant spinning circles and other glitches. At first for me the annoying spinning circles only occurred when I clicked on my collections tab and tried to save drafts. Now I can't even create a draft, the spinning is on my items, and likes tab. I work at a very stressful job and sites like Polyvore and this one I use to destress until now. I've got patience but this is becoming a weekly test of them. I'll say it again, @admin stabilize the site first so that basic features work on a regular basis. It doesn't matter how many new features you give us if we can't use the site at all.
