have chatted with others about the forum slow redraw etc. and they suffer same as me often ...

You click to post / index / etc. - and it is slow ... then Cannot Find Server page comes up .... click back and try again ... sometimes happening 2 or 3 times in a row ..

Anyone else have same ???
 
Yes.

At some times of the day just can't get into the forums.
Go back ten minutes later and it has returned to as quick as other sites.

There seems to be no particular pattern.
sometimes when going in from my favourites. other times when posting, then at random when wanting to look at a posting.

This only happens on YBW. I have broadband.

appropriate forum speed

All perfectly normal. The speed of scuttlebutt varies and as far as i can see it varies from quite slow to very slow. But this is surely in accordance with the chosen mode of transport. Likewise, the liveaboard link is sometimes so slow that it barely moves, and PBO is often quite broken with various posts hanging off the wrong threads. Mobochat is (very ocassionally) quite fast but otherwise locks up solid. Classic boat is looked at a great deal, but any changes there are likley to be done slowly, over the next five years or so.
 
There was (is) a thread in the feedback forum about this - seems to be caused by the search 'feature' locking the database and causing a 'que' of things that need to be done, hence causing a delay - i presume the powers that be are working on a solution to it.
 
A security thought

I'm paranoid about security.

It may be not the first thing I think about if I'm having trouble with access, but it's not very far down the list.

Questions like - is there a trojan in the machine which is using network resources, has my wireless network been hacked, has someone managed to get a spam proxy virus into my machine?

Worth checking if you don't have good security in place.

I think I do, but you never know what the barstewards have come up with.
 
Re: A security thought

Blimey Ken....

Here's my approach to computer security...

Two men running like fury in the jungle, having been spied by a lion while they were having a swim....

One stops, and starts putting his trainers on...

"what the hell are you doing?.... you'll never outrun a lion...."

"don't need too.... just need to outrun you...."

Moral is, that if you make an effort with security, then generally you are pretty safe... don't need to be completely watertight, just a bit more watertight than the next bloke, who becomes an easier target...
