Something was definitely going on in the games area today. The Leaderboard wouldn't function for several hours and the games I played were running very slow. Another player messaged me that the games had been offline for a while. Everything seems to be normal on my end now. Maybe some adjustments were being made to the site. |

This is my first time playing games. After playing 21 out of 25 games to get extra entries to win a kindle fire, the site suddenly won't let me play games. Is this normal? Is this how they keep you from getting extra entries? I've spent almost 3 hours on here to get to 25 games and I'm not happy! If this is how the contests are played on here, I don't want to come back. |

It takes sooooooooooo long to load your games its not worth playing anymore. What is wrong? I enjoyed the game sight but don't have the time to wait for it to load. Hope you can fix the problem. |

I have been having trouble since thursday. In Mahjongg Dimensions the game is so slow that I get 4 cubes clicked before the first two disappear. It's still slow today but it's better than it was. Go to Arkadium and play the free version of Mahjongg Dimensions and you'll get a really fast game. See the difference. What's up with the AARP site? |

I switched from Firefox browser to Safari browser and I have no slowness on Safari. It might be worth trying another browser. On Firefox the games are slow (for me) for three or four moves and then the correct speed resumes. |

In Response to What is wrong with the games today?: When I can finally get a page to load, I end up getting an error message. Everything is incredibly slow. Ever since the new games were introduced, nearly all of the games are slower than before. Worse is the long "break" so you can watch a slew of advertisements. More time is inflicted on players watching these ads than actual game time. Posted by mitcham Another part of the problem is the number of "plugins". Take a good look at the bottom left of your screen in the lowest taskbar area. Watching how many plugins it takes before you get an actual operating screen. This is just one more way you are forced to view ads you don't want to see and worse, it delays your ability to use your computer as you please. |
