The MIT OCW 6.00 Computer Science study group is fantastically buggy for a lot of us. Comments disappear, we lose "contact with the server," we have to type a comment into the chat box multiple times before it actually posts, the site "refreshes" itself randomly thus erasing replies-in-progress. Is this a known issue? Are we doing something wrong? Check the 6.00 Group Chat for more details. (had to type this comment twice)

This doesn't appear to be limited to the CS group either

Hm. This sounds worse than what we've been experiencing in some ways, particularly the random reloads. We're dealing with some relatively heavy load issues which we're trying to address; we've already made some fixes, but each round just moves us a little further and then still shows problems. We're making the tweaks every day, hoping that we've addressed the major stuff by mid next week.
