Okay, I'm now on the verge of breaking down into tears. My connection to the internet has become so incompetent that I can't even read a whole page. It stops loading partway through. I've been trying to view one single page - the first page of Epic Realms, for those interested - for ten minutes now and it's still not working. Half the time it doesn't even load the second post.
This has happened in multiple threads, at least five times including this most recent one. At this rate, I won't last until the 21st. Heck, I probably won't be able to read this post after I click the Post button.
