I don't have time for using chat, because I am a single author, but since the chat function was introduced, my articles from my Dashboard have been loading in 3-5 minutes, but only if I keep scrolling down; even after that, upscrolling needlessly refreshes the page (the page should be buffered in my computer's memory, but the encoding on Substack stopped allowing that). After they are loaded, all other Substack pages are draggingly slow. At the same time, I need access to my previous articles (there are hundreds of them) in order to include them into comments, so that readers can gain quick access to them.
My computer has 16GB of memory, so that cannot be the problem.
Is this a bug or a feature?
Another problem, which something new again, is that my readers clicking on links to my previous articles cannot access them, only every once in a while. Why?
If I'm understanding you correctly, perhaps you could copy the links to your previous articles that you want to insert into comments from the "archive" page, rather than the "dashboard"?
On your newsletter, the "Archive" is one of three links on the top menu bar under the header "Ray's Newsletter." The other two links are "Home" and "About":
I have found another computer that does the job. Something must be wrong with the original one. Ping 35ms, download 35Mbps, upload 5Mbps. Never been otherwise in the last several years.
Sorry about bothering you. It might be that the previous computer had two SSDs installed (plenty of RAM, 16GB, which may have cause some overhead, but the current 12GB seems to work fine on the new computer. (I usually have a lot of browser windows open, but only as tabs on two or three browsers). I'm only guessing, but you might profit from my experience in the future.
It makes no difference. I've tried it on three desktops with i7 processors and 16GB of RAM on each, but the page loads draggingly slowly and, eventually, slows down typing in Substack, despite the fact that I still have 7GB or more memory free...

Thank you for responding. Please, advise: where is the "archive" page?
On your newsletter, the "Archive" is one of three links on the top menu bar under the header "Ray's Newsletter." The other two links are "Home" and "About":
https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/archive
There is also a link to the "Archive" when you scroll all the way to the bottom left of your homepage:
https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com
Thank you. However, this page loads just as slowly...
Have you tried re-booting your computer, i.e. turning it off and on again?
I've been trying on several computers, usually i7 processors and at least 8GB of RAM, sometimes 16MB.
Hmm. Well, your "archive" page loads pretty fast for me. Have you tried testing your internet connection: https://www.speedtest.net
When I run this test, I get "DOWNLOAD Mbps = 873.21"

Great!

It might be MS Outlook with the dual security, because on this computer, the Gmail app that comes with Win 10 is working fine.
