We've installed a special filter that stops outgoing emails to our members in England, we're not talking to you

Without breaking up a serious thread, that reply worked quickly and with email notification.

8:12 pm nowish

tried to edit my signature. Got this message:

"you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."

I've also noticed that a second post (in another thread) will take a while to get going ie a number of seconds. Not sure this is clear. log on, look at a thread, make a post, ok, go to another thread read new posts, make a reply, seems to take a while to get going. Message down on the bottom left corner says either waiting for woodworkingforums or waiting for cdn.woodworkingforums. the wait can be as long as 20seconds or even longer yesterday and day before as I gave up.

PS just to prove me wrong that one was instantanious

I've been surfing the forum for the last hour or so and so far no problem. Pages are coming up quickly and have had no trouble with posting. Maybe we are back on track. or maybe I'm just lucky..

Normal and Cliff in the same sentence? Ridiculous concept!!!!

Normal for me.... that would probley be several levels above your comprehension anyway.

Still hanging from time to time but when it's working properly it's isn't too bad.

We spent the best part of the day fending off major spam attacks, close to 200 new users banned in the last 24 hours and even more than that on Renovate Forums. This may account for some slowness at times today as IP searches were being done throughout the day and they are extremely resource hungry things to do.

Anyway I think we might be looking at another server shift if the counters tonight show any more slow page loads, hangs, drop-outs, etc.

Thanks for all the info.

Cheers

Thanks, I'll check for an obvious cause around this time. Were you just browsing or attempting to post a message?

How many times did you see the error?

Is it still occurring? if so, please post a url you're having trouble with.

regards

Hi Niel, jan 11 10.00 pm, Slow as , tried to open market place, have given up. Left this thread loading til it did now can comment
ISP is definitely a problem.

I am on ADSL 2+ which is fairly fast here in the bush, any page loads almost instantly, Woodwork Forum takes ages. Sorry, cheers and Happy New Year, hope all have a good one.

Poor sods in Queensland have my sympathy..........re floods

Jan.11, 2011, 10:05 Eastern Standard Time in USA.

Tried to reply to NAI's post, after about 10 seconds got timed out message, clicked resend, got site unavailable message.

Last few days Woodwork Forum has been a bit slower than usual - about 10 seconds from click to action complete.

Time would be between 10:00 AM and 9:00 PM Eastern Standard Time in USA.

Thanks for the forum, I feel very close to those on the Woodturning section.
