Frustrated? Scream Here!

[Dianna]

SCREAM!

I thought I would start this topic so members could report on when the forum is dragging for them or refusing to load so that it could be documented on the board. Please, add any problems you have with the site's loading (or not) here...

This is what I have been experiencing today...

12:04 PM - Tried to reply to a topic and the site started dragging. The page would not load for me.

12:22 - "IE cannot display the web page."

12:23 - Ta Dah! Finally am able to get to the site and start posting. At least I think I can post. We will see if this posts...

Grrrrrrrrr! This is soooo frustrating!

Dianna,  I am not keeping track of time, but things are lagging for me.  My first post in the SL took about 10 minutes to go and everything else is a lil slow but seems to be getting better.

[Tina]

I will time this to see. I already had to reboot my whole computer this morning because everything was lagging.

[Tina]

No problems for me. It zoomed right along in a very timely manner.

[Dianna]

I have noticed that when it is lagging, it usually lasts 20 - 30 minutes. During that time, I am usually sitting at my desk pulling my hair out!

[Patty S]

If "lagging" is what you call not being able to access the site ("Web Site Not Responding"), I'm getting the same thing... often enough to make me wonder if I keep doing something wrong!  VERY frustrating!    ...but I'm glad it's not just ME!

It's been very slow for me too today, but "slow" is sometimes normal with dial-up, so I really didn't pay any attention to it.       Although when I was wanting to respond to Patty's thread about the wedding everything froze up and I had to shut down and start over.    No problem since I got back on!!!

Lagging is not the correct word.  If the forum fails to load, that's a different story.  Because I don't know the particulars on each and every member's Internet provider, there is not point in discussing lag.  There's nothing I can do about that.

At the bottom of each page is a line that says : "Page created in 0.131 seconds with 16 queries." or something similar.  If that number is large, then I need to know it.  So if you are experiencing what you perceive as a slow response time, check that statement at the bottom of the page and see what it says.  Copy and paste it into a post and I will take it from there.

Not being able to get to the website is something completely different and I need to know the times you experience that as well, as Dianna has posted.

These problems are being worked.

Aaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhh!

What a day. The forum has been down since 11:14. I just checked at 4:50 and it was still down. Sure am glad it is back now...

The host was able to see what was happening today, so hopefully he has gotten it fixed for us. It has been a long day without my forum fix, but will be worth it if we don't keep having the intermittent problems that we were having...

Welcome back, Everyone!

[Triss]

Glad we are back up now!

[Tina]

Yay. We are back!

[patches]

Well, I guess this explains why I couldn't get on when I was at school today!    I really like to come here when I have some free time at school because when I'm there I can load and see some things that I can't manage to load or see when I'm at home on my dial-up. 

[Wrennie]

wow that was a long time down!

[Dianna]

GRRRRRRRRRR!

This morning I tried to get on the forum and I got "IE cannot display web page" from 7:22 a.m. to 8:57 a.m. I don't know if it came up after that because I gave up and went back to bed.

When I finally got here on the forum at 10:45, it took 58.945 seconds with 16 queries.

Jim, I sure hope you got my e-mail this morning and e-mailed Monte Carlo in turn...

[Dianna]

   

It is so frustrating to try to get on the forum and can't for nearly two hours! Tried to get on at 10:27 and am just now getting here....

[Jim]

One of the things we have to deal with on "shared hosting" is we are at the mercy of the other sites that are on the same server.  Ours has about 8 sites on it.  If one of those sites uses up all the server resources, we get those long pauses until something frees up.  Additionally if they do something that causes the server to crash, not only their site but ours crashes too.  I'm being told that is what is happening.  I've logged a formal complaint with our host.  They are telling me that they are placing some additional limits on the guilty party in the hopes that it won't happen again.  We will just have to wait and see.

[Tina]

Was that today? I've had so many issues with my own internet connection that I'm confused about what day is what. They are supposed to actually come out and fix my lines tomorrow. It is their problem not mine. Yippee!.

[Dianna]

Yes, it was today, Tina. Sure is aggravating to find a minute to check the forum and can't get here. I really get upset over it. It was down from 10:27 to 12:22 this morning.

Yesterday morning it was down from 9:00 to 9:20.

[Dianna]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Need I say more?

[landofoz]

Ah, so you couldn't load SSH yesterday either, eh Dianna?  I was in the same boat as ya!

[duh]

I can't post a new topic my computer goes spastic and I have to shut down the window and open a new one.  But I can't post a new topic in the new one either.  Help I have stuff to say.

[Dianna]

What else is going on, Tammy? Sounds like something is going on with your computer....

Penny opened up a new Spirit Lounge for us without any problems...

[Jim]

Nothing has changed here Tammy.  No errors in the log and no one else has reported having that difficulty.  I really don't know what to say about your computer.

[duh]

it's my computer then.  So I guess I won't be starting any topics.  Always something with this piece of junk.

[Dianna]

Try it again, Tammy. Maybe you hit the wrong button or something...
