Oh right ok thanks, im only talking over the last couple of days.
Maybe ill just leave it and see what it is like after a week or two.
Unless you're superstitious you can't really change your luck (or the pool's luck for that matter). Just pick the pool you're happy with and sit on it unless it's having technical problems.
Having said that you can always tell which pool I've recently mined on - they ALWAYS have a good run right after I leave and I swap pools all the time (mined at over 40 pools in 2 years)
LOL you and MUST be related! I have the same problem, but I am now at the GUILD, and it seems pretty good, making a decent rate, and access to private servers to stop DDOS attacks.
