Rabbit or Tiger can you tell us what is going on? Most all of us are having problems navigating this site lately. Long delays between pages loading and/or total freeze ups have become all to normal occurrences the last few days. Are there known problems and are they soon to be corrected?

Thanks

Tiger

Is it only on the forums? Please give me as much information as possible. I have seen zero problems or crashes in about a week. Site has been running very fast.

I have been having these problems, certainly, and again just this evening. I clicked to post a reply and just got a whirly hand. Rather than sitting to watch the slow reaction, I wandered off elsewhere. When I came back over an hour later, still whirly finger. Just hadn't worked. Had to refresh & log back in (lost the post). It was then back to being really fast again.

I too have been having problems, this morning was particularly painful (about 10 hours ago).

Forums: Fun and Games especially, but all were problematic.

Yea, gotta keep the server away from the liquor cabinet.
Always getting hammered....sheeesh!

While i'm here can i get ya to change the 'Submit' radio button
to read 'Post' ?....KIDDING!

But if i click submit, at times i'll wait ?30 seconds and nada...grrrrr!
What has worked for me is to repeat ass often as necessary....
Click 'Stop' then reclick 'Submit'. I think ya sneak up on the
drunken bastard that way. Dunno? But it works for me.

Good luck, you'll need it...:):):)

Keep updating me. So far I haven't been able to catch it when its slow.

I will try tweaking some settings and see if it helps.

Usually I find the forum fast, but on certain situations, when I'm posting, or just going into a thread, it takes forever to load the page.

What seems to work is closing the window, restarting IE, and then going back to the forums from my history.

I haven't had this problem at all... Weird.

I retract that. It hasn't been so bad, but small lags between pages so far. Usually when I refresh the forum homepage it works fine again.

over the last few days...esp my mornings when most of you guys are sleeping it is really bad.
slow to bring up threads, slow when you hit post, then it times out and when you hit refresh you have the page back.
it can take a cpl of minutes for a page to loadand then the forums will be really fast at loading up again.
it is like at certain times of the day the server is struggling

okies. i have just got back in after the server was down for an hour

Just a thought but is there any association between these problems and what browser people are using. If people are having rendering problems and slow page loads maybe the site isn't working well with a particular browser. If the software running these forums is relatively old it wouldn't surprise me at all if it doesn't play nice with the new IE7. Personally I use firefox 2.0 on Linux and the only time I have trouble is if the site is completely unaccessible which I always is assume is a problem with the server going offline.

Just my 2 cents, might be nothing to do with it.

Over the past few days, particularly during daylight hours over here in the UK, the board has been almost impossible to post on at times. Particularly the F&G. But often when Ive been PMing it will just hang...until I have to give up and log back in.

Very frustrating at the mo...

Also having mucho problems with roleplay, try to submit something and it just hangs and hangs...then when I do submit I find ive double posted.

BTW Can we delete our own posts here?

Just want to lend my voice to the fact that i have had the same problems, and im using the latest version of Firefox which seems to run at speed with everything else, even with multiple windows open

just a suggestion to help in the analytical...

I know there is IT software that you can use to monitor page loading times, as well as other info like what kind of browser the visitor uses, as well as screen size, and many other tid bits of info to help manage a site. I don't know what it was called anymore, I just know it's out there.

Warbaby1943

It is reacting slow when changing pages, posting, and PMing and it is not only doing it in the USA. I know for sure it is doing the same thing in Australia. I use IE7 and have for months. This problem has just recently cropped up so I feel confident in saying it has nothing to do with IE. Even refreshing the page takes for ever at times. I can't explain it any other way than to say it is extremely slow. If not slow then it locks up and you must exit and try to reenter the site.

Well Tiger is aware of the problem now ---as I have also had slow page loading times and told him about it ---next problem is to find the cause ---which he is looking for

I found one problem last night that was causing problems for sure. I fixed that.

There may be more to find but let me know how things go now that I at least squashed one bug.

Perhaps members can mention the time when they were experiencing problems, if it's a common phenomenon, the reason for the slow performance may be easier to isolate and correct.

DarkSister

06-10-2007, 12:50 AM

Since about 7am GMT there has been noticeable slow down when it comes to accessing forum boards or trying to post… the board seemed inaccessible from about 8am to 8.30am… and since then every time I can get in seems achingly slow… I have to close the browser and try again because it seems to freeze on me (or run so slow that it appears frozen),

ok..its now 9am GMT and seems to be running normally again!?!

So far it's taken a minute to log in and get to this page. It's 12:12 PM CST. There were problems with Chat last night too, so a bunch of us convened in a yahoo chatroom instead of waiting for the servers to stop acting wonky.

It is really bad now and it is 1:18 PM EST. Pages take forever to load and sometimes the wrong page loads.

its 7.30pm GMT and the board is running really slow for me... and has kicked me out twice.. i have been able to get back in, but only after persevering for 5 minutes each time

is 7.42 pm london time and have just this min got back in after the site crashing twice.

Tigar....could it an actual problem with who hosts the site????
Maybe try sending that company an email

I was not able to get in for approx an hour after midnight last night and then it would not let me navigate the site and would kick me out again.

06-10-2007, 08:26 PM

well i have had zero problems... but i haven't been on a lot in the past few days either....

The only problem i have consistently is when loading the home page to the main forums it gives me the "default" server page (screen shot attached). This though has been happening for MONTHS. Normally i refresh or retype the addy and it works fine.

Not very often and usually in the morning hours, I attempt to come on and won't even be able to get to page. It just says "Cannot find server" At first I thought it was me, but when this happens I can get to every other site. I just have to come back later in the day.

I have noticed issues for me when trying to log in anytime around 12 am to 2 am, Alberta time. I have also noticed of late when on the main forum page a redirect to Sissy School . com. It does not happen anywhere else and I use a fair amount of protection re surfing the web. As its not a pop up its not blocked by my software. I have had a great deal of trouble both getting in and staying in over the last week or so.

Yes, I've been having real problems - over hours - for the last 3 days; when someone else has been able to get in. I've not seen any messages about updates. I've had all sorts of wierd messages from IE, that I've never seen before, about it not being able to contact the site, the server, ftp, stuff.

It seems alright at the moment... fingers crossed.

Chat has been going thru and update process ----now I do not know about all the Tech stuff ---but I do know sometime when I update software on my own computer it causes other problems that I have to track down and fix---I am thinking that the same issues occur when the site --either chat or the forums are upadated -----no I do not have these problems at other places I go ---but then again ---they do not try to update to the latest software and faster servers ---they do not have nearly the traffic that this site has ---you have to remember it also handles millions of people reading stories on the main story page ---no thousands as in those other sites ---and that is the reason for the updates and moves to bigger servers ----Tiger cares and is trying to keep things stable ----and spending alot of time and money on this site

all I can say is this is one of the few sites where the owner cares ---and the admin and mods care about the members ----

so I say thank you Tiger and thanks to all the mods and super mods and the other admin of this great site ----and thanks to the members who put forth the effort to contact me when there are problems so we can try to track them down
