HELP WANTED FROM MEMBERS - with forum speed problem

[Bob38S]

Tried posting this afternoon approx 14:45 to the TTIT thread - took ages to accept and failed - got a message telling me to wait [even though I had only hit the post button once]and repost after hitting the post button approx 40 seconds it worked, then I couldn't do anything, exited Firefox and tried to get back on but after a number of tries up until approx 15:15 - nil, nix, nada.

Not sure if the screen bit will help.

Thank you all for your response and for bearing with us. The problem has been resolved to an extent but still not happy. Our so called brilliant new server has let us down a little over two weeks into using it.

We will be looking at alternatives over the weekend and may be changing from the supposed new high tec, infallible type cloud server back to a good old fashioned hard drive or similar.

Anyway for now the problem seems to be fixed and some stability has returned to the forums at least for the present time. Thanks again for the info posted here, It was a help.

If you notice any more problems please let us know in here.

Cheers - Neil

Message at bottom left of screen waiting for woodforums.com - wood forums Resources and Information. This website is for sale!

Very interesting but totally not right. These forums are definitely not for sale. The forum in the message is woodforums.com NOT woodworkforums.com very interesting that this should be displayed at the bottom of one of our forum pages.... Strange. Very strange

Still slow posting as well.

Sorry still not working properly for me. Tried to go to another page just now and wouldn't open.. All other sites on the web that I use are opening just fine.

0927 hours - Replied to a post- after 3mins of "Waiting for www.woodworkforums.com" I killed the reply and refreshed the thread. The reply did not appear to have been posted.

0931 hours - Resubmitted the reply - after another 3 mins of "Waiting..." I walked away.
When I returned I found that the original reply and the resubmitted reply have be posted.

[Cliff Rogers]

Yup, similar here & then sometimes it works fine.

Message did not show up in "Messages Sent" this is what leads me to believe,
wasn't sent.

Database error backing out of slabman51's thread in Announcements 1100 AEST.

Repeated three times with refresh attempts and twice after dumping and reloading Explorer. Came up fine on the third reload. Not an issue to me but if you need information I will provide it where required. (Melbourne Outer East Optus Cable).

Thanks for concern
