Pages are loadig Sooooooo slowly
 

Looks like I'm the only one who uses this forum for it's true purpose:):):D

For the last three days or so The forum pages seem to be loading in a different manner, and more importantly quite a bit slower. I just rebooted it was so bad, to no avail ... Am I alone in noticing this?

U2 Great band ... thought it was 'cos I was running outta bandwidth. Yep I've got plenty of these messages over the past 72 hours. Looks like a server problem. (Knock knock .... or should that be like the old TV's ... give it a good bam on top!)

Possible exaggeration ... I have not got a page to load in less thean one minute, today, and often they won't load atall:( I will post by snail mail in future, now.... where did I put that address?:)

Have you had any of those messages like above yet? It's been a total PITA. Sometimes it recovers slightly ... then it returns to the slow mo. I quit the forum for those reasons. I've just come back & it's the same. The admin was contacted. In fact, one thing that did get fixed was the forum clock. Well we have to start somewhere. lol :D At least we know what the real time it is now. Perhaps the clock is slowing down the forum ... a pendulum ... either the clock runs slow or the forum does. :D

Hey I was actually able to post & edit my post without having to reload it several times. Hopefully no more blank/white pages. Hope it stays the way it is at this particular moment.

LOTR I've not seen the dreaded message today. It doesn't seem to get that far lol and so far I've been able to senrd this reply albeit a little sluggishly. it's 14.46 and I'll hit send reply:)

IT seems last week or 3 we've been going thru the same stretches again of slow loading & error messages. The worst I've seen so far was (1) the page code ... html for the entire page. (2) Posting & editing a post & losing information from the post. (3) Sending a 3 or 4 paragraph pm & the receiver only receiving the 1st line of text. I confirmed it when I checked my saved copy.

I've had other members either mention it in pm's to me or mention they didn't feel inspired to search for more information on the forum in their post because of their forum browse problems.

Hopefully we can get this sorted out before too long. It's not something I can deal with from my end other than contacting the forum owners, etc.

Regulars are tiring of the slow progress ... which still exists after the search function has broken/been switched off, and are not bothering to visit the forums any more. This has been said in e-mails to me.

I'm off now. ......... I have more to do in life than wait for these wretched pages to load:(:(

Someone said patience is a virtue .... lol :D Must be mistaken for sure. It's simply something we'll have to live with until it gets sorted out. Who won, the tortoise or the hare? :D

Whoever said patience was a virtue was obviously setting a lousy example and was by no means virtuous him self:D

besides which .. I thought the owner of this tortoise should see some complaints from the users to prove to him that there is really a problem. I really am tearing my hare out here:):)

Hobo's right! I can't work under these condirions:(, we better get a raise or something:) :cool:
