Balky Forum - Page 2

Dwight Gruber · 01-06-2006, 04:26 AM

Went on the Forum several times Thursday. Only balked twice. Seemed a lot snappier, too.

"and when I try to edit a post, or add a new post, half the time, it times out, and if I didn't copy my edits or the new post, they are lost... (hitting back button usually brings up the blank posting box)"

This has been happening to me for months and months...

EXTREMELY balky today.

Something strange going on. Been having this problem for quite a while.

Still, we should be grateful the site exists at all and it's still great value for money

I have had the problem for months. Twice within the last 30 minutes.

Ron Smith · 01-07-2006, 09:10 PM

Sometimes it just zaps up and runs fine. Other times I have to click "refresh" to get it to come up. Like just now.

I'm beginning to develope a complex. I don't deal well with rejection...

Ponyman · 01-08-2006, 02:06 PM

I'm not sure it's just this site. YaHoo and eBay sometimes make me wait too long, then time out.

Dwight Gruber · 01-08-2006, 03:08 PM

I frequent a lot of sites, this Forum has become consistently worse than the occasional hiccup noticed elsewhere.

Curly1 · 01-08-2006, 07:11 PM

I have yet to get through a session in the last few weeks of viewing w/o at least one hang up that I have to try several refresh of pages to get through

John D. · 01-08-2006, 09:37 PM

Hmm... OK - this Tuesday I'll have the day to spend on this.. I'll start with some simple things, like changing out the NICS and changing routers.. Let's see if that's the issue..? I know it's not the server or the Forum software (no errors in any of the logs)...

Anyway - as I post fixes up - I'll let you know in this thread, OK? Intermittent issues some of you seem to be having are some of the most difficult to track down - but we'll figure it out!

Best to you - and thanks for your support and patience!!

Dwight Gruber · 01-09-2006, 03:23 AM

John,

The thanks is to you for providing and supporting this forum. What kind of error reporting will be useful to you in this process?

--Dwight

John D. · 01-09-2006, 07:36 AM

Hey Dwight!

My thanks..! What I need are approximate times that you have to "reload" or the site doesn't open..? I can back-track those times to my circuit records (to see what kind of traffic was on the circuit at that time).. Also - your connection type would be GREAT - i.e.: dial-up, cable modem, etc.. I was looking at the circuits last evening - and the weekends are somewhat slower, but for that - I noticed a few of you were having difficulties still??

That's why I was guessing last evening that it may be a NIC or a router intermittently dropping packets to this Forum, as I'm not seeing the errors at the circuit level..??!!

Anyway - my thanks for any info you can share - and yep, it will be fixed - even if I have to move this to another T1 I have on line....

Best to you - and thanks again!

John, I experience this also, at work and at home, both broadband. It just times out, many times when I am replying or being obtuse, and then when you hit back, it is gone (refreshes or something).

for the last month or two, I would say several times a visit, which is about 10 times a day

It is common enough that folks have bitched

and common enough where it is a frustration on my part

Rod WMG · 01-09-2006, 11:10 AM

Ed has described the situation well. He has written the post I would have as it describes the situation perfectly.

Dwight Gruber · 01-09-2006, 12:19 PM

John,

Dialup for me. Over the course fo the problem so far I have been going on-forum several times during the day, all lhours, and it has been happening pretty regularly irrespective of time. I'll start to keep better track.

John D. · 01-09-2006, 07:10 PM

Thanks Dwight, Ed and Rod!!

Also Dwight - I got your e-mail from this am - thanks for the detail as well... I just posted an Announcement, so let me try a few things over the next few hours..

Best to you!

John D.

Curly1 · 01-09-2006, 09:35 PM

Just happend to me around 8:35 est trying to get to thelog in page, did a refresh and everthing went ok

lew1 · 01-10-2006, 01:37 AM

Are not computers fun. Its a shame that the rules that are applied for recalls on cars are not applied to computers, servers, programs, etc.

c3006 · 01-10-2006, 06:09 AM

I have had very little trouble,just a couple of time outs and Im used to that my wife puts me there every time I buy a new gun.

John D. · 01-10-2006, 09:17 AM

OK - I have a silly question for the folks having difficulties....

When you use this Forum - do you open the forum from the main site:
http://www.lugerforum.com/

OR... do you open the Forum in it's own "window" - like this:
http://forum.lugerforum.com/

I'm just wondering if the frame isn't pulling the Server page load across my own circuits for a few of you??

Also - what I've changed in the past few hours last evening are: a software update, two new NICS, additional memory...

thanks!

John D.

tudorbug · 01-10-2006, 10:52 AM

John: I'm one of the ones having difficulty and I open the forum using the second option that you listed. David
