    w3guy it's possible that you might be running into some XMLRPC rate limiting that we have in place to mitigate certain attacks against Wordpress sites. If you'd like us to take a closer look then please email our support team for assistance.

        sean it's not a big issue. But if it starts becoming annoying, I'll put in a request.
