Hi Rashmi, Well I managed to get uploads working in FF, Safari was giving me no love. I do have a question I have uploaded the slides from the QCon website so I dont have to browse through their terrible interface, is there a way that I can add all slides with a tag eg, qconlondon2008 to a group?

Hi Deimos,

I think SlideShare is having some problem with your files. I checked and file conversion is going on as normal.

If its taking longer than 5-10 mins for your ppt/pdf, then clearly its having a particular problem with your file.

Here are some ideas:
-If its a ppt, then save as pdf and try uploading that
-Try uploading another (simple file). If you have a problem with that as well, then it might be an OS/browser issue.
-Send me the file that you are having a problem with [rashmi AT slideshare DOT NET]

Hope this helps.
rashmi

Lets, break it down.
Cached content is being served up fairly quickly, my previous comment was directed at uploading (sorry that should have been made clear). It's not really an issue anymore as I just gave up, but if uploading actually works in the near future I might give it another shot

Sorry about the trouble. Can you tell a bit more so that I can understand what the issue is

-Where are you accessing it from? (I have not faced slowness in past two days after hosting problems were fixed).
-Are you facing slowness in the pages loading up (or are the pages not loading up, and are sometimes erratic)
-OR is the slideplayer loading up slowly

Thanks for your patience.

Dude, have you guys even thought about scaling? This app is so low im tempted to put it on a usb and drive to the destination, ready? 1-2-3 go it's on.

Seriously what's your architecture?

Why is SlideShare so slow?

Why is SlideShare so slow? It seems to take ages to update slides.
