Forum Speed?

Sorry guys. Hadn't been watching the forums today and didn't notice it being especially bad today.

I know this is an ongoing issue and we have been trying as best we can to debug it for quite some time.

Will get back on it.

For the record, I bet nobody who actually RUNS this forum told people "It's just your computer".
The only people saying stuff like that... are other users who don't actually know what's going on.
It's been happening for months to (I think) everybody.

One of our regulars has been working with Mike H. (or whoever runs the server) to try to resolve it. But so far, I don't think they know the exact cause. It doesn't seem to be a question of horsepower or bandwidth. They've tried a few fixes but they haven't done much that I can see.

I hate to say it but I think this issue probably won't get fixed with volunteer work, even if it's right up their alley. There's only so much time someone will pour into fixing a site for free, especially when their 'day job' keeps them very busy. I'm hoping Mike will consider hiring someone to look into it. I'd be willing to donate a few bucks towards the effort.

Hey Creedo, For the record that was why I said "one of the self appointed ones." You know the type, they shoot pool like rail birds. LOL, I agree BTW it's been an ongoing issue for quite some time..

oops, good call, I totally missed that crucial bit.

Thanks Mike! It's sporatic, works fine for a few clicks and then it will hit a lag and just sit for a few seconds and sometimes longer. I started this thread wondering if it was my home network causing the problem.
 
Hurricane Sandy and the Nor'easter put a damper on things

Hi folks:

I'm the "regular" that CreeDo is talking about. And I sincerely apologize that this problem has been lagging on for so long, but please understand -- my area was hit HARD by Hurricane Sandy and quickly followed-up with a Nor'easter (extreme snow storm).

I have been extremely busy helping customers all over the NY/NJ/CT areas recover from these two events, working hard in data centers and getting disaster recovery centers set up for these customers, so their employees have a network on which to work. All this, while my OWN utilities at home (electricity, cable TV, Internet) were knocked out.

Again, I do apologize for the lag in identifying and resolving the problem. We were making good headway, until events of late.

I'll see if I can find some time soon -- most likely during the evening hours or the weekend -- to log into the servers and resume the troubleshooting / remediation efforts.

Apologies,
-Sean
