Server Issues

yes still working on it.. I havent gotten any errors in the past couple days. Please keep me updated with any problems that pop up.

Drew

As I am writing this at 2 pm Pacific time, Sunday 9 11 2011 I would say the site is in such a state as to almost being unuseable.

1) Time to get to home page....about 30 seconds (should be like 2 seconds)

2) Click on "most recent post" link...time to get to it about 40 to 60 seconds.

3) Click to log in....goes to "internal error"; refresh it ... take about 30 seconds but then comes up.

4) Fill in log-in form...takes about 30 seconds and goes to internal error; refresh it gets there in about 30 more seconds.

5) Click on "most recent post" (happens to be "server problem" thread) and gets there in maybe 30 seconds.

6) Click on "reply", goes to "internal error"; refresh, it gets there.

7) now will post this and hope it goes through, but before that:

NOTE: Drew....unless I've read the recent posts page incorrectly it looks like only about 5 posts per day for last three days; hell, I post 5 posts in a hour and I have'nt been able to access the forum for days now...this is first time I've really gotten through.

now postiing...hopefully !

Still getting error.Don't know if this will go through.

I hate to complain about a free site, especially as a newbie.  But....this site is painfully slow, no matter what time of day I visit.  It doesn't stop me from trying to contribute or read posts but I will say that I'd be far more likely to visit more frequently if the site was faster.  I'm a member on several online forums and none is even close to being as slow as this site.  Every click of the mouse involves a lot of waiting and frequent errors that require a refresh or using the back button and trying again.

Again, I hate to complain but this site is unusually slow and I could see how some could lose patience and bail.

My two cents, for what it's worth.

Definitely some serious issues with the site.  I keep getting the internal server error, it's super slow, and even after it's loaded it keeps acting like it's still loading (pretty sure I saw at least one other member with that issue too).  Not sure what it is, but it is taking the fun out of trying to read posts or posts new threads on the site!  Five posts a day is not good!

Site is slow, not getting error messages as before.

I did notice as others that the total amount of post until today. Today the number of posts is much better.

Love the site.

  What they all said , I have been trying since last week to get in , unlike Movieman , I was timing it with the Minute counter on the computer , till I would get the error message or the one to report the error LOL .
  Evan today , it's like pouring maple syrup on pancakes while winter camping Outside in New England .   

Im not getting as many errors, only getting server connection errors when I try loading more than one page at a time on this site. But everything is still super slow.

Thanks for the updates guys. I am in the process of hiring help to fix this problem. Thanks for your patience!

No problem Drew, but here is a copy of the server error I am getting:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache Server at storageauctionforums.com Port 80

Drew,

I don't know if is worth mentioning, but there are generally more than 4 new posts in one day. 

When I read through the new posts today, I noticed something that has occurred two or three times before. It seemed to be right as the forum started to show the looong load times. The only posts showing as "Today" were in the first four topics. there were no additional listings in any of the other sections. This seems very strange since the most active is the Storage Auction Stories and General Auction talk.

Hope this helps...

I am getting server error messages almost everytime I click on a page. The rare occasion that I don't, the page is taking 3-5 minutes to load. Just FYI.

Also, noticed that the membership number is under 1800. Yesterday, it was around 2200. What happened?

Well, let's try this test. As I post this at 6:10 a.m. on Tuesday, 9 13 2011 there were 8160 posts showing as having been posted.  I'll check this at 6 p.m. this evening and at 6 a.m. Wednesday morn to see how many posts get through, but with other posters saying there are other abnormalities in the accounting functions (number of members?) who knows.

One thing's for sure...it's slow...that pouring molassess in winter is the best description yet !

I did clear out a lot of suspicious spam looking members last night

Well things seem to be a little bit faster today, still have the same server errors that I posted up above.

Well, i was finally able to log in. Still got ways to go though. Site's still a little sluggish.
