I notice that delays in "Submit New Thread", "Submit Reply" and "Save Changes" is becoming more frequent, sometimes it will even time out. This appears to happen mostly at about 4:30pm EST. I think Baron got new servers a year ago or so but the traffic must have increased more than expected, or maybe it's just at my end.
The majority of slowdowns I get is when using the search function, but yes, I have noticed that Submit New Thread and Save Changes often just doesn't work. I'll get a white screen and I'll have to use the back button and try again. However, sometimes when I make that 2nd attempt it just goes right through. I thought it was my machine (although I don't get that very often at other sites).
Today when clicking on the "Forums" link: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /vb/ on this server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.elitetrader.com Port 25001
I fixed the /vb/ error just mentioned. BTW, sorry for the rough times this week. We've been changing a lot of things over to a new system and there 's been some unexpected issues. I think things are starting to smooth out a little bit though.
Baron, i've found that if you SHUT DOWN the server. Wait 2 MINS!(very important!) Pick it up and shake it real hard a few times, over your head. set it back down. turn it on. LOL solved many a problem that way
Let me know if you need any help. I own a hosting company and we would be happy to help wherever we could. Regards,
