Admin nuggethunting Posted February 14, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hello All, Sorry I'm not able to jump right on this slow forum issue, but trust me I'm working on it. Right now my hosting company is not able to offer 128MB PHP, which is required for this new forum. When I first had the forum changed over to this new version I was only running 28 MB PHP, which was the reason for the very .... very slow load speed. I requested the hosting to upgrade the PHP to 54MB, which was all they said they could do. I opened a ticket up and mentioned I was going to move my entire domain to another hosting company and overnight I was upgraded to 72MB (go figure). However, they have told me they can't offer the 128MB right now. I going to see how this runs for a bit, but if it don't work well, I will move my entire domain to another hosting service that does offer what I need to get this forum back on track. Please post how the forum is loading for you. I will need this information to determine if I need to move everything over. Thanks for your understanding.Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hey Rob, Its still alittle slow, but sure alot better than it was, a few days ago. It loads pretty fast now, but you still have waiting time to make a post. Like I said not the 10 minutes it took before though. Good going on what you did do.

LuckyLundy Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Rob,I'd consider moving to another company...at the moment it's running fine. But, next time you log on it's turtle slow.Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hi Rob, Right now my hosting company is not able to offer 128MB PHP, which is required for this new forum. Rob AllisonSpeeds are fine for me most of the time. Sometimes initial load is a little slow.I'm running 3G wireless 226KBps.I meant to tell you about my hosting company when we spoke earlier. They have been around for years and they don't advertise.Fast cheap and great service.If you're interested I'll send the details.

rexb Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'll second Lucky's comment,ChrisYep, hit and miss, it will be all right one time and slow the next. I haven't noticed it being slow most recently, but haven't been on as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubstake Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Yeh I'll third that what Lucky said, I'd fire the hosting company, tonight there was many error messages, the forum wouldn't load several times, it takes 5 minutes after you click on a header to look at it and longer to make a post. So this is for your hosting company! They are crap! I'm sure someone else would like your business, instead of bankrupting you, because they can't get on line to contact you or make an order. I personally know several people that have just given up on your forum because of so many problems getting on. Not Good for you.

matt Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Rob,Every topic is sooooo slow to load. I can surf three or four other sites by the time I get connected to any of the threads on here. No kidding. I hope you get it fixed up.Cheers,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromedae71 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I would switch hosting companies immediately. The forum is running horribly slow right now. Your hosting company is killing your website trafficand I have noticed a huge reduction in forum member postings.-Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Rob,It was good a few days ago, kind of slow yesterday evening, and today if it went any slower it would be going backwards. A previous post of mine took over 5 minutes to complete from start to getting back to the forum main page. Also getting a "Driver Error" on the bottom of the page as I type this, so I don't know if it will post or not.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikaze Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I would encourage you all to look into Google Chrome browser. I like IE and use it for most of my browsing but for these picky sites or forums, Chrome is the bomb! Sure turbocharged my access to this site and others like it... AND IT'S A FREE DOWNLOAD!

Reno Chris Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 For me it still varies - sometimes perfectly normal loading times, but at others its amazingly slow - almost like I went back to 1200 baud dial up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hmmm not sure whats causing the difference in user speed. just sent some pm's still rippin for me? AzNuggetBobOne another note, I am dumping old forum cookies when I sign in and getting a fresh cookie from the host, that may be getting rid of old forum settings in the old cookies..

IDXit Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi Rob, Not sure what the problems are either. I'm on dialup and with this machine, all the web sites are slow. However, I have noticed that on this site, the loading speed varies from one visit to the next. Most of the time, it loads slower than usual and has for a while now.... maybe it's just on my side.... Excellent forum. I wish you well and stay warm out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
