Slow, slow, slow (III) !

Phos the stretch of line and Boxes in front of my house and the Stations are Fibre Optic. Just put in about 4 years ago. So that rules that out.

Practically unusable all afternoon here. Numerous timeouts (after well over five minutes), and it took me over four minutes to access this thread.

I truly think there's something going on with the "last mile" of your connection, Phil.

You may want to try to do some deep troubleshooting with your DSL provider.

I say this, because my brotherwhen he was living in Lexington Fairfield VAwas having some very similar (and worse) problems with his Earthlink/Sprint DSL connection several years ago. They went through everything they could think of (and my brother's pretty dang savvy when it comes to the gear on his side of the house threshhold) and nothing would fix it so he was able to get consistent service. He does a lot of his business communication (real estate) through the net, and it was vitally important to him.

They finally got an engineer on the case and found out that there was a relay box about a mile from his house that was bad, or configured improperly. Technician climbs the pole, switches out the old box for a new one.

Problem solved, permanently.

No I am not that Techno literate. But I did maintain a website about 10 years and and still the webmaster for that site.

But it seems to be so aggravating that this Forum has gone for years (I've been an Acrobat User since Acrobat 4 and OS-9.x) with so much as a hiccup.

Then here in the last year its gone to pot. Today all but the last 6 messages I have read loaded lightning fast. Then its started with a 5 second delay, then a 10 second delay, then a 15second delay, Then a couple of minutes. This last one I am writing in 10 ten minutes to load.

It seem from my untrained eye that whatever, is experience some type of bad code or glitch that cause it to reboot the software almost at the same time a day. Has anyone considered reading the crash logs and find out what's happening each day this happens.

I just want to read my forums in peace and quiet and have them load up before I can blink my eyes.

>I'm not even sure what half that stuff means.

point made in that case. (and, yes, I realize it wasn't directed at you)

In general, people have to understand that few tasks are as easy as they seem from the outside looking in. I'm sure that we could find legitimate reasons to fuss about anyone's work. This is just more public then most of us have to contend with, so we catch flack for being less then perfect in some people eyes.

Savvy?

I'm not even sure what half that stuff means.

:)

pj,

If you're highly experienced and savvy about the complexities of Internet infrastructure, Website construction, and Web interfaces; and have current-technology constructive and practical solutions to the sporadic speed issues and the knowledge of how to implement them without service interruption to a very high-traffic Web presence/database structure, I'm sure the powers that be would like to hear your ideas.

Otherwise, I fear you know not what is involved in resolving what, on the surface, may appear to be a simple problem.

Its not being a Whinnier when You can't depend on reading a forum with any certainty from Day to day minute to minute.

I'm not fussing about it anymore than anyone else is. I'd just like to have something done rather than; "Oh shucks going have to wait 10-20 minutes for everything to load up today. Maybe it will be better tomorrow."

You get jerked around enough. Would make you blood boil too.

Now if there was a glitch twice a year or once every two years , no big deal. I'd just ask what Happened, and go on about my business.

I've been with my ISP for 10 years or more and in that time they've had a problem 6-7 times (in 10 years) I call them up ask,what's going on. They thank me for my taking time to report it. We're working on it now.

If their service started doing like this forum system. I would be looking for a new ISP so fast, it would make their head spin. And While I would not dis them with anyone. I wouldn't recommend either.

My experience here tied in exactly with John C's notification, and things are back to fine and dandy now. :)







Hey! Give us a break pj!

> "Would it do any good if I traveled to where the person is That is responsible for maintaining this Forum setup and beat the tar out of him?! Somebody need to light a fire under who ever it is. blah, blah, etc. etc.

Enough already, Phil.

Your objections have been noted, time and again. Now you're just kinda coming off as a passive/aggressive whiner.

And NOBODY LIKES A WHINER!
