Man...This website...

....makes snails look like Speed Demons...

What is it? I use 3 browsers, it takes FOREVER to load, pages come up blank, website is down, 'page cannot be displayed' errors all the time....

I click on something else and I blaze through pages, but FF is just (almost) always a problem.

Any ideas what this is???

Something with connection issues and the server. Admins have touched on this before, just give it time and they'll iron the bugs out eventually.

It's my crappy connection here in Spain. Three routers I have replaced and the ISP still tells me it's my problem. I am having real trouble finding another home for this database and moving the data there because the connection is so unreliable.

I'm still working on it and have been for 3 freakin' weeks

Are the routers wireless? The wireless routers I've used have been problematic. Is it too difficult to hardwire the database to your internet connection?

If it's a question of money I'm willing to give $5 through Paypal for a membership.

Hey thanks for the offer.

Yes, the router is wireless but the server is hard-wired to the router.

But... you got me thinking about dumping wireless altogether, putting in a vanilla concentrator and running CAT5 for all the other computers.

Note: I just rebooted the server (Windows Small Business Server) as I messed around with the system clock today. It might have screwed performance, what with messsing around with IP addresses and stuff - it might clean out the pipes

Hey, at least we got the time/date bug sorted. My how it didn't like the database being on another networked host. For anyone writing a scalable, distributed web application out there!

Wasn't trying to ride you, but I was just wondering why I have so much trouble here - and if I was the only one@! Many times, after 2 or 3 tries, I just give up and go do something else, so it's frustrating...

Thanks for the feedback...

No worries, you didn't. I need the feedback, it helps a lot. Please let me know if you are still having trouble.

Yeah me too. I really value this Foro and would be happy to donate something. Don't think we should make it a paid membership, because the idea (I think) is to welcome everyone, regardless of ability to pay. But I bet there'll be a few of us who would be willing to make a donation contributing to the cost of running it.

I too have had real problems with this site recently. How much money do you need Simon? I am willing to contribute a few English shillings too.

Thanks but it is not a question of money, it is a question of connectivity, firewalls etc.

I can move this to the US and host it for $11 a month that the Google Ads will cover but I have not managed to find the time or reliable connectivity to get it there (yet).
