Glad the forum is back up!

After weeks of running smoothly, the forum was running a little slow yesterday, and I couldn't bring it up at all today until now. These service issues seem worse on weekends for some reason.

+1. Although I didn't have any problems yesterday... today, just now got access. I think it has to do with too many trying to get on at the same time... Or the paranoid me, thinks I've been banned!

Griff, why would anyone on this forum ban you? I put up a post about rescuing a juvenile orphaned bat. No ban.
Others put up posts about topics that sometimes only get 1 or 2 replies. No ban.
I have seen topics locked. No ban. Topics removed. No ban.

The moderators seem to accept that we are human, and sometimes need re-directed. Unless you are doing something which would be totally out of character, I do not believe that you will be banned. Keep participating.

Didn't you get the PM about the vote? Just kidding. I wasn't sure it was my connection or the site, but I couldn't get on a couple time yesterday and couldn't get on this morning.

[marlinman93]

Last two days it wouldn't work at all for me in the mornings. Today and yesterday it worked later, but both days I had to log back in to get online.

[GunnyMack]

Same here, still very slow to load also.

[marlinman93]

Once again I couldn't get the site to open this morning, but now it's working. Getting to be an every morning thing here.

[GunnyMack]

After I posted about this yesterday I couldn't get back on until right now.

[Pat C]

For me its either works perfect or will not load . Nearly everyday have to login.

[JB]

I couldn't get on this morning either.

[marlinman93]

Was out at the gun club this morning, so didn't need to try. This afternoon working great and didn't have to log back in for a change.

[Bill in Oregon]

Down this morning for me, too.
By the way, the value of these threads to me is not in whining but in providing data points for the webmaster or administrator. I assume someone behind the scenes finds them useful or at least corroborative.

[GunnyMack]

When down I would email Andy, with his Dad being ill recently I haven't wanted to bother him with it.
I figure since I'm probably one of the first guys to check in in the mornings ( being on the east coast) I could send the email. Then I realized Andy is a couple time zones away but he would know.

[Bill in Oregon]

Site was down for me for more than 48 hours. Just now back up.

Same here Bill. Couldn't get on until just today.

[Ray Newman]

Was finally able to log on today after after numerous unsuccessful attempts in the morning and early afternoon.

Believe the last time I was able to log on w/o any issues(s) was Tues, 6/30 or Weds 7/1.

[Bill in Oregon]

Back up again, but for how long?

[COSteve]

Couldn't log in yesterday and today it is slow as heck.

[Ray Newman]

I was able to log on yesterday (7/4) early afternoon. Could not log on last night or earlier this morning.

About noon today (7/5) I was unable to post this response – “service unavailable.”

Computer identified problems: 503 error, site could not be reached ", "site timed out," or "service unavailable.

[JOG]

I've had nothing but trouble trying to get on the forum for a few months!
It seems most of the time I can't get on! If I do it takes 15 minutes or so!
Responding to a post hardly works!

[Ray Newman]

Back to the same old trick -- very slow to log and even slower to load this page.

[GunnyMack]

It's been very slow to load, if at all.
Now it seems that I can only look at one or two topics and it locks up. I have to close the forum then open it to look at the next topic.
It's strange ...

[marlinman93]

Is it ever really up or back?
Seems like it is good a day or two, then doesn't open at all for a day or two. Then after it works again I need to login before I can post. Sure getting old this constant off/on thing.

[jeepnik]

Seems to only work reliably when there are very few folks on line. And I've noticed usage is way down. I suspect some folks are getting frustrated and moving away. Hosting service doesn't care, they get paid either way. And they are the ones who control how much bandwidth any given site gets.

[Ray Newman]

Believe Jeepnik onto something.

[Griff]

Glad the forum is back up! Again.

[marlinman93]

Again it's spotty or not working at all. Sometimes it doesn't open, other times it opens quickly, but then is very slow to respond. I just give up on days when it's not working.
