There are ancient artifacts used by primitive man. They're called books.



Or photo CD`s by some generous souls here.

I think that my earlier response, this one, and responses by others show that like COVID-19, the situation may have been hyped up to a degree. I have had no trouble. I'm certainly no computer guru, but here's my take on what may help you out:

The Army requires me to visit SEVERAL sites in the course of my duties. Defense Travel being one, and one called SRTS where I now have to perform duties that were once the purview of S-1, i.e. upload my own orders, awards, 1380's, ect...

The sites I mentioned seem to hate Chrome. Some will not even work with it. But nothing tells you that. The little wheels just continue to spin until you get timed out.

If I switch to Internet Explorer, viola!! All those sites work flawlessly. I"m not saying this will fix your problems, but it might.

I suppose I could test my theory but attempting to log on to Armorama on Chrome, but honestly, I've got other things to do.

Give it a try at least - maybe Internet Explorer will work better for you.

Unlike an earlier compatriot’s report, here in Sydney it has been slow loading for 48 hours.

Perhaps it’s mainly due to the mass hysteria/end of the world caused by everyone searching the internet for space-travel tickets, or – unless vulnerable thru age or pre-existing medical condition – how to go to cope with the equivalent of a bad cold, as if we didn’t know already. Breaking News yet to be broadcast – 97% of virus-sufferers make complete recovery. Every flu virus, every year, regrettably carries off millions of vulnerable people around the world but that never makes the News. All statistics on COVID 19 released thus far are unqualified and wildly inaccurate, there cannot possibly be any reliable evidence yet that this one is any different. It will go all round the world and nothing ever could have prevented it. But that’s not important right now, let’s cause mass panic and an unnecessary Recession, that gets much better ratings. Yeah I know, waaay

Hello? Darren? Robin?

Any info for the huddle masses? We're on our knees in supplication begging for info.

I'm about ready to start burnt offerings to appease the internet god.

Two days without Armorama. That's it. I can't handle it anymore. I am setting myself on fire. And jumping from the bridge. Onto the railoroad tracks. In front of a train. Just to be sure.
Goodbye cruel world.

The site's slowness and not loading properly is happening on both Google Chrome and IE. I also suspect that the IT folks are social distancing due to CODVID-19.

It's happening here on my 2 PC's one windows 7 one 10, each running 3 browsers: Pale Moon, Firefox and Chrome. All browsers updated and all add-ons and plugins disabled. It's happening on my Android tablet with 2 browsers: Opera and Chrome, no add-ons all updated.

I am going to try one other thing, disabling my anti-virus.

Same here in the land of Banana Benders. I am blaming world wide internet searches for purchasing toilet paper....

Well, because I actually DO have to prepare for an Army course I'm teaching over the weekend, this is my first opportunity to attempt to get on. Worked perfectly. Have I missed something? Just tried on iPhone X as well. Seems to be working fine. Is the crisis over?

Hey - we seem to be back to normal? Thanks to all those concerned - I suspect some serious hard work undertaken somewhere.

Thanks again.

Darren found Robin hiding under the bed and 'reformatted' his features with a 2x4 with a nail thru it.

Maybe the site pooped itself and had no toilet paper to clean up?
