for the past couple of days for some odd reason i cant seem to load up the least i cold do homepage (fortuneately i havent missed any comics due to skipping around in the archives, but i felt i should mention something, because its kinda annoying to have to jump through hoops just to read my favorite webcomic >.<

is anyone else haveing problems? can someone look into it?

details on my connection, incase it helps:
pentium 4 3.4ghz pc
windows xp sp3
internet explorer 7 (i also tried it out on firefox and got the same result of it not loading)
Roadrunner (north carolina) isp
and i connect through a dlink router (if it makes any difference)

anyway i hope this can be fixed soon

Tech Forum Is a better place to post this. In fact, I think they already have a topic about this.

Do you currently have any script blockers enabled? That will interfere with the loading of the LICD home page.

I have also been having trouble with the homepage. For the past week or two, the comic and background will load, but the rest of the page will not show up until I click on another page - it shows up for about 1/2 a second as it switches to the next page. It's very frustrating, but it is an improvement over the past month when I couldn't load anything but the header.

Same for me. For the past few weeks I can't load the Home page. I find I have to go to the archive and move forward through it to get to the current comic/homepage. This is true of my work and home machines. It also doesn't matter whether I use IE or Firefox, both give me the same problem. Not sure if it's a particular ad server or not, but that seems a likely culprit.

Takes forever for me. It usually loads eventually but sometimes it just won't. I haven't been able to see the comic for a while. I have to check them out at home.

I think it just hates you all. I haven't had a single issue the past couple of months.

What's weird is that it's only been this way for the past few weeks. If I try to load the homepage by going to www.leasticoulddo.com, it either times out or takes forever. However, if I get there by going to the archive and moving forward through it to the home page, there's no problem...

I wonder if the issue is related to our locations and the route we're taking to get to the homepage. Maybe there's a router going bad somewhere along our route from a particular part of the country? If the info helps, I'm in Ohio.

Although, the looking for group website loads just fine, dunno if they're on the same server, but I'd imagine they are. If that's so, it seems to point more towards something more specific to the licd page. Hmm... wonder if the route to one of the ad servers on the licd hompage is the issue for some of us...

It is probably related to the ads in some way, yes. Otherwise the archive shouldn't work either.

I can never see the whole comic on my work computer. The rest of the page loads fine and the top 1/6(ish) of the comic shows up but that's it. It seems like a weird place to stop. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Ditto. Dunno why but I hope it stays this way.
