Is anyone else having trouble with the forum ?

[Andy1672]

The forum seems to be running very slow for me at the moment, every time I try to read a post It seems to take forever to load or I just get a white screen.

I have had some trouble with my PC recently so im not sure if its just me or if the forum isnt quite fixed yet ?

Is anyone else struggling ?

I think we are all experiencing intermittent forum problems.
I think there was a thread on it yesterday but it seems to have disappeared or I was drunk again and dreamt it (either could be correct!)

It's pissing me off.

Streamline swore blind that moving the site onto their Linux server would eliminate the 30-second maximum-execution timeout (that they decided to impose) which caused all those hassles in the autumn. It meant I couldn't update the forum software and upload the backup as it takes longer than 30-seconds, and is why the forum was offline the first time. It was Imbie who managed to do an incremental backup after the crash.

It was also their recommendation when they threatened to delete BFTB over the bloody Win32 pipes thing in the spring. So I've moved onto Linux, which has killed all of the links in the main site, and I discover I still have a 30-second timeout. f*ckers. I'm also experiencing the same glitches on the new trial galleries I have uploaded, there are times when I have to refresh seven or eight times to get a page to load properly.

Tintin, you weren't drunk. Well, you probably were, but nonetheless the other thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3152&start=20
