Thank you for the update. As a newcomer, a minnow only 7 days old, I am trying to learn the ropes. I was afraid that I was doing something wrong due to which I was unable to get on the chat.
It is but natural to face such growth issues when the popularity rises fast and outpaces infrastructure. The exponentially growing popularity shows how great a job all of you at Steemit are doing! Kudos. Following you.

Am more into wildlife and nature photography as well as travel. I would be honored if you see some of my work and provide your valuable comments.

Regards,
A minnow (7 days and counting)
