OT: ChaCha

Did you try clearing your cache? I did that and since 5:30 central it has been good, I have been off and on but have over 120

I logged out and then back in and they are coming, but just slowly. I'm so used to it being b2b and this is driving me nuts.

 

[DVCBELLE]

It looks like they turned off the specialist questions. I am only getting generalists now.

 

[mommaU4]

i logged out, cleared cache & cookies then signed back in and i've gotten 2 queries. yay me...

I tried all that, logging in and out, clearing cache, etc. and I'm still not getting any.


Oops! Scratch that. I just got one. One after over an hour. This is torture.....

I had to laugh just now- I got a question that said "I'm another guide.. are you also annoyed at the slow pace of the questions?"
Haha.. hey, maybe one of you texted that in??

Wish I was that clever!

I've cleared, logged ... got a soda, some chocolate and still nothing.


ACK! I spoke too soon! I've been getting generalist questions, no specialists, which wouldn't be so bad except each one has been about sports. That is my all time worst subject! I know zero about sports - not player names, teams, specific sport, rules.

 

[momof1princess]

good luck tonight everyone. i gave up at 9 pm..i'd rather watch numbers, lol.

You are not alone. I don't know anything about sports either. Those questions take me forever.

While I appreciate being able to select categories I really wish there was a way to opt out of them too. I'd rather somebody else have the sports ones. I could answer at least 2 or 3 other questions in the time it takes me to answer a sports one. I'm sure the sports experts would rather have those too.

Their must be some bored kids again tonight - how many wings does a chicken have? Pretty sure it's 2, unless there was some sort of freak nuclear disaster nearby. I hope they didn't run across a 3 winged chicken.

Has ChaCha picked up for anyone tonight? It's still not up to speed, but I am getting queries about once every 2-5 minutes. That is better than getting none in a 3 hour period earlier today!

 

[megthewonderful]

I usually get back to back questions when logged in early Saturday and Sunday morning. This morning, I have gotten 1 question in 10 minutes. The pace needs to pick up again.

Last night when I finally logged off, I was getting generalist questions only and they were coming one every 3-5 minutes for me.

I logged in about 10-15 minutes ago, hoping things would be better today so I could make my goal, but so far, not even one question.

You think that's bad? I'll gladly take sports! I've been getting a lot of questions that can only be classified as "homework help" -physics equations to solve, and one which looked like an LSAT question (Charlie is 4 years older than her brother, who is 9 years younger then his oldest sibling, and together their combined ages total 37....what high school did Charlie attend?) I I don't even know how to answer those questions, maybe point them to a brain teaser site.

 

[GoofyBaby]

And I was getting my hopes up since I was starting to get more questions last night. . .I've been on for an hour now and nothing! UGH! Come on ChaCha - we need our Disney/Christmas money!

ETA: Okay, no sooner than I posted this, I finally got my first question. . .I wonder how long it will take for the next one?

Oh man! I HATE those!! Seriously, I'd love to just answer, "Who cares what high school Charlie went to, unless he's cute."
Probably not a good idea though. Thankfully I haven't received any math or homework questions in a while. They are harder then sports or cars. I'll agree with you there.

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd prefer a good 'ole Xplicit question anyday. Hey, at least I can answer those quickly and easily.

I'm getting some, but they are approximately 5-10 minutes apart. Still way too slow for my liking.

My Ding Dong isn't even working now. It worked for 2 questions, then went out. So now I can't even walk away to do something between questions.

At around 5PM yesterday the questions were flying for me and I did 50, then POOF it was all broken again. Today it is a question about every 3-5 minutes. I am so behind in my expected totals that it hurts. And I lost my job last Monday so this income was really needed. I'm sad!

Me too Jen. I pretty much lost my part-time job that was getting me through school, so when ChaCha came along, I was elated! I had a schedule going to give me enough money to comfortably enjoy Disney in December, but if this keeps up, I am going to have to scale back the extras.

 

[momof1princess]

i'm getting a generalist question every 2-4 minutes. looks like i'll be sitting here through the 10:00 news, lol.

 

[cukal6]

Questions are coming in very slowly tonight...and my totals are off again. They were okay yesterday but now they are off again. Here's to hoping things get back to normal soon!

 

[graygables]

I finally got my 200 for the week, but with my 2 QCs and getting booted off a couple of times, I don't know if my completion will keep me in TG
