herbiemercman Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Is anyone finding the site is running slow, it took me ages to log in and then to start this thread? All my other sites are running at normal speed so it is not my PC. Herbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbiemercman Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Surely one of the Mods will have looked into this by now? Herbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I find there are periods when the site is offline which would suggest there are some hosting server issues. Maybe the site is on a private host setup with limited bandwidth and really old servers. It is old software, I'm not even sure it's legal these days after the 2019 new data storage regs became law to have login and personal information stored on a non SSL secured site.

herbiemercman Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 I have just started a new thread and the speed is back to normal. I agree with Dunk, but Rider is making a good point, i have not experienced this before for the past ten years, so some thing is amiss? Surely the Mods must know what the situation is? Herbie.

auzzam Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Wasn't there supposed to be an update to the forum? Only noticed this since the new year which would be a logical time to migrate to a new version. Could be that the new one is experiencing teething issues.

mwilkinson Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 As above, the last few days I've been struggling to access the forum. Often I couldn't get on at all and it would time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wile e coyote Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Forum seems to be getting more views now which is great for the club Crashed couple times due to visits when the goblin works supra car was on our stand at the nec last year and I wouldn’t be surprised if it crashes next Thursday due to the goblin works supra episode on quest at 9pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbiemercman Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Good to have this info now, the Mods should have put a thread out about the situation to avoid so many members thinking they had a problem with their set up. Changing the subject, to "Goblin Works" next Thursday, must admit that i will look out for this, but, i have found the program bizzar, they do stupid things to cars and seem to have unlimited funding, they try to be funny about it all, and IMHO they are not funny, "Wheeler Dealers" are much more interesting and good engineering, also they can be jokular, a bit like "laurel and Hardy." Top Gear has now returned in all its glory by Flintof and McGuinness. Herbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbiemercman Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 So we just had the last 4 days with "server down for maintenance", just got it back on form, let us hope they can maintain this? It is now 2020 and we have the technology to land on Mars, amazing that we have problems with basic servers and software. lol. Herbie.

herbiemercman Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hi Dunk and Adam, You pointing out that the guys are doing this as a DIY job puts a different slant on things, obviously to keep costs down, good luck to them. Someone should have told the members sooner, let's face it most of us expect everything to be working all the time and take the reliability for granted, bit like i am doing currently, realizing the complexity of bespoke mapping / tuning. Sorry i am used to the "Big Guns" being called in like the company i worked for, they were on big bucks, but at time struggled, and it cost us. Herbie.
