Fixed, and I'll be refunding you today for the problems..

Sean;

I've been tracing the slow activity of APUG and the problems, and they all appear to be coming from the internet. I am on cable, hard wired and am able to trace the problem back to the cable server/router or to the internet. It gets a timeout, bad signal or no response from APUG. The bad signal freezes my browser, but this is VERY rare. Usually I get a timeout error, or a message from my cable provider that there is a problem with the site "apug.org".

Sean, I am getting only intermittent connection to APUG

I am in the UK and log on at normal UK times.

It only seems to have happened in the last 2 weeks – before that I was fine.

Sometime, I get no response when I log in, other times I log in without problems but then am unable to open threads or move from one page to another.

I get the usual Explorer unable to find the web site message

I am using IE7 & XP Service Pack3

I am not experiencing problems with other web sites at this time.

Are there problems with the Servers dropping out?

Thanks

Martin

Cannot upload more than 3 images today. Gallery says I have exceeded my daily limit of 5. Not sure what is going on?

Hi Sean,

I'm noticing that when reading posts in a thread and then click on the person's screen name to try to "Find More Posts" by them, I am met with an error page telling me that...

"This forum requires that you wait 5 seconds between searches. Please try again in 5 seconds."

Thanks.

I’m getting the same error message quite often when searching the archives or when I’m using the new posts function.

(I’m using Opera 9.62)

[Sean]

Are you clicking new posts or "Today's Posts"? You will get the message when doing a standard search but you should not get it when searching today's posts. Do you get the same error in IE or firefox? Thanks

[Uhner]

Since my last post in this thread I have mainly used Firefox while doing my usual thing here on APUG – and I have had no error messages.

Earlier today I tried Opera again, and I got the same error message as before. It happened when I used the “new posts” function.

I've always gotten this message if I was a bit too quick with the mouse. Happens with both IE and Safari. I have assumed it was a built-in software limitation to aid in load balancing or something. The same message appears on the hybrid site which seems to run the same or similar software.

[Uhner]

Perhaps I should add that this happens when I have done no searches, or indeed anything on the site, for several minutes or longer.

No error messages. But on the blog page. I can navigate and do using most anyhyperlinked text or button but the darkened control bar that includes 'Add New Entry' and 'My Blog Profile' is inactive. The deskbar at the bottom shows the hyperlink when you hover your cursor over it, but click, nothin'.

Do you get the same error in IE or firefox? ThanksI am on IE Sean. For instance, I click on your name next to the post above and when I click on "find other posts by Sean", I still get the same error message. Strange thing is if I hit the back button and go back a page, then hit the forward page and come back and click on your name, it works! Must be something with IE. Sorry Sean.
