Is anything being done to fix the problems

[Gazelle]

i have been getting a page that says this on an off all day today

• We are currently troubleshooting a few issues with the board. Please check back later.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

I get this message more than I get anything else . . .

Yep, if it's taking too long to load, I click 'x' then refresh or click what I was trying to do again (post, navigate, whatever).

Also double clicking all the time seems to help a bit.

yep that's more what I meant, thanks for the clarification of that Avatar. I double click... sometimes 5 times till the page flips up

In addition to the above quoted advice, I find the occasional use of politically incorrect language coupled with harsh glares at the screen seems to help...

you do know theres a reason why they call that blip on the computer screen a CURSER!

Maybe Lee can't log on or can't get his posts through.

Maybe because the owner does not care about the site. If someone is really into their site they would make sure it is up and running ALL the time. This is going on the 4th day now.

I miss Erwin.

Been a memeber for 3 going on 4 years now and this has been the worst of all times.

Rep Daddy you did make me laugh at that statement. Do you think we are smarter than Lee?

We just went thru a whole week of worse site problems & had only 4 days of pain free posting around here before this new nitemare popped up --

I think the pattern being set is when a site bug happens, you're stuck with it for about 1 week till they get around to dealing with it.

I don't know about Lee's level of concern over the site becuz unfortunately we have no news on what's going on - but I do know that some other type of system needs to be set up for techs becuz this just isn't right.
Or if it's a server problem, then move to another server already. Anything.

And at this stage, I DO think site supporters should be compensated with something in return for the continual problems and headaches. (in all fairness, everybody should actually be tossed a bone of some sort)

Sigh, All I can sday is I have had it till its fixed and I refuse to click anything or add to the totals for profit at all until it is at least reasonable. Can hardly navigate anywhere, posting only by clicking numerous times, repping impossible, took half an hopur to feed my pet last night and thats after not beimg ablwe to be on for about two days. We really need a time frame on this. Signing off till fixed.

Maybe if we all start reporting each other's posts it will get somebody's attention. Feel free to report mine.

Nah, we're just more addicted than Lee.

Let us all say a little prayer for those who are trying to fix all the problems on this site.
There are many changes in the works and I am convinced that the powers that be are on to the problems.

From Another Thread, a bit of 411.

Okay here's the deal as far as I know. With the updates we're planning for the site, it means overhauling alot of coding and upgrading. Since this site is as HUGE as it is this means taking the time to plan every little detail out so that nothing is lost or crashes and we have to start the whole site over again (I don't think we want all our posts going bye bye).

Only about 2 or 3 SA's can really do this type of upgrading to the site. And it takes hours to find the right coding, re-write coding to make sure it fits to Lee's specifics (though SA's have given ALOT of input on them as well) and what we know members want too, and make sure it'll actually work before bringing it to the site.

Now do this repeatedly with ALOT of new updates---yes we have alot of wonderful things planned. So it takes time and energy and all we can ask is that you not hate Staff (particularly SA's who honestly can't do much at all) and have patience--- I can't do any modding at this point because I can barely load 2 pages every few minutes, let alone do any work for the Angel ministry or send pms to my friends or post in member forums.

I think one of the reasons we're having so many problems is because we've already updated parts of the servers, but we're using poorly written coding. But it makes no sense to spend time trying to re-write bad coding when we're trying to focus on writing new coding to make the site even better. Right?

So please have patience with this site--- we're here as a community and I know we all just want this site to be up and running normally so we can converse. I'm sorry we can't offer any more updates on stuff, but really we don't know any more about the situation--- we just know where we are in the process, but we're not sure about a time table yet.

If any of you want to privately vent your frustrations, feel free to fill up my inbox (no pm's will be reported for vulgar language or flaming, I promise lol).
