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.

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

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.
