This site is slow and sometimes won't load.
« on: June 13, 2008, 02:51:38 PM »
I'm having problems posting and viewing threads because sometimes it will give me the "cannot load page" deal. Also, this place is slow.

Is this problem a fixable one? Do you know why it's happening? Or is it just me?

It isn't just you; it's been slow for me and I've also been having problems with pages not loading.

It's not just you. Since morning the website has been slow. I'll post more when I have it.

Yeah... just got a 500 Internal Server Error.

Also, the webmaster link on the error page still points to "webmaster@localhost".

This reminds me of the time I got home from a baseball game, and Ww wouldn't load as well.
Logged in for 15 minutes, and couldn't get anything done. By the time I got in, I was logged out.

Hmm, it's working fine now, but it wasn't before. And, judging by the looks of the "users online" list, other people are still experienceing technical difficulties. Either that, or all of the super-active RAFians have suddenly decided to go on vacation.
If you are not in my avatar, and would like to be, or if you changed your name and avatar and would like me to update it, PM me. I cannot add or change anyone at the moment as I lost the file I use for this, but if people still want in, I'll work on it.

I am RAFmarried to my sweet shnukums, Rachel. ;D

right now I'm using a proxy. If I don't, this page comes up:



Is it supposed to look like that right now, or is it just me?

Edit: never mind. looks like whatever happened is fixed.

That showed up because I moved the Blog over to a new host. Everything (minus the host issues) should be ok now.

lol. Nah. Good thing about SMF, I can move it anywhere, without thread loss / member loss etc. This server is just having some problems. If it continues (which I doubt it wont), I'll get us a new (more expensive) host
