If you stop at a Pokestop and the image isn't loading and you spin it, you usually won't get the items and any attempt before the next 5 minute refresh time will come up with an error. So, wait until they respond and don't flip it until you see the picture.
Sometimes at a stop I get a message "try again later" along with that, exit the app, return, and they give you the items you were trying to get, and the spot turns purple.
At my hour-long stop, hit it over 10 times, but didn't get a lot of Potions. I saw a couple more eggs (2km) ready to go, so I used a Lucky Egg. VERY lucky, I might add, because even though the hatches were Pokémon I already had, I still got more candy (10 per hatch) and the double XP out of it. On the way home however, things REALLY got lucky. I caught 3 new Pokemon thanks to the new reshuffling (and getting 1200XP for each!)
Gloom
Poliwag
aaaaaaaaaaaaaand a
PIKACHU (thank goodness I REALLY needed a better Electric type to take on the Vaporeons! This one has Thundershock AND Thunderbolt!)
I also took to evolving a fast few Weedles for double XP. I am now at Level 12, and got 10 Super Potions and 20 Great Balls, so I'm starting to rebuild again. I have 3 regular Potions, 13 Super Potions and 31 Revives.
I also got a 320CP Eevee that will make a great evolution very soon. I think this one is going to be MY Vaporeon (it has the Swift attack).
Team Valor needs to make up ground. I hope I can take gyms again real soon.

Luckily for me, the app registered most of those hiccups as 'caught,' meaning I wasn't quite as irked as I could have been. I think a lot of it might have been the server, as I was seeing a lot of those white ringed areas pop up on the map when I should have been right on top of a 'mon, but there was no 'mon in sight. Oh well.
But even with the hiccups with the game, I was still able to catch 22 pokemon today. Most of them were Pidgey and Rattata's, but I did collect a few extra bug-types, a new high powered Eevee (he'll be a Jolteon) and two new acquisitions:
Weepinbell
Parasect (With Solar Beam

)
Yeah, I've been getting the condition with the ball on the ground with no "Gotcha!" message, and turns out I missed a good Bulbasaur that way today.
WEEPINBELL AND PARASECT? Nice, and a Solarbeam too. That will be a good Gym pokemon. I'm liking the re-shuffle here. This Gloom I have will make a good Grass type primary.
