jim and dianna, a couple of the graphics in the section headers are coming up as having "moved" or "been delelted" from photo bucket.  not a scream so much as a heads up for you?

I am the culprit that did that, Jennifer. Blush Jim is aware of it, but hasn't had a chance to fix it yet...

It's not really that.  It's more than likely the route that is being taken to get to the forum.  Try this next time it happens.

Open a CMD window (click START > Run > type CMD

In that window type >ipconfig /flushdns

Close that window and then see if you can get to the forum.  That clears your DNS cache on your system.  It's a Windows thing!

Jennifer had problems, too, so it is not only me. I think someone is hogging all the bandwidth again. They need to learn to share... naughty

Well, since everything is working now, guess I won't be able to find out if it works, or not. I will write this down so I will know to try it the next time. Thank you, Honey... Kiss

i am also having problems.  sometimes the site loads slowly, sometimes it loads in plain text, sometimes it loads without any background. tina was having problems too!

i got tina to a cmd window.  and flushed my dns.  it isn't helping as much as i think it should.  i am still loading slowly at best.

Same problems. I think it is a wee bit faster with the cmd dump

Sounds like resource issues.  I will open a ticket with our host to see if they can tweak something.  Keep in mind we are on shared hosting which means we are sharing resources.

UPDATE:
Support responded that last night they were doing the final migrations from our old host and there was a very large database that had to be loaded.  When that happens, no matter how robust the system, things slow down.  They confirmed that was taking place about the time everyone was experiencing the sluggish response from the forum.  They will leave the ticket open for about 24 hours in case there are further issues.  Be sure and let me know.

Figured that was done when migration took place, that sure been a long time. Of course, never migrated before so have no clue what takes place. Or was the large db for someone else, not related to SSH.

Some forums are like having the first cup of coffee to me, if you know what I mean, been like that for years for certain forums. Runs better.

The large database was for another site.  Our database was migrated along with the forum files.

Yep, but it seems to be a bit better right this minute. It took a full 3 minutes for a page to load. Now they are loading better.
