Recently steemit has been taking forever to load for me. When I click upvote is just continues to spin 
When I click the Post button after I type something
It loads forever unitl it post and sometimes I have to refresh and click post again.
Everything was fine for me until a few days ago. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone know why its happening? Let me know in the comments bellow be patient lol
