I will even go further that sometimes I can be reluctant to post anything because after you've written the dang thing the forum get all stuck and voila' you lost what the heck you wrote down.

First problem, use the New Posts link at the top of the main forum page. Neat trick, if you click on the "Last Post" link (even tho it only shows the very last thread someone posted in so that' sprobably a new complaint) it will take you to the last post you read in that thread. I think that's been a convenience for keeping up with topics.

And like Rae, if I'm posting a long one, I always copy just in case...and I got in the habit of doing this at home b/c of my cable connection being less reliable than MM!!

rae · 26-10-2005, 07:37

Today MM is almost dead. I can not post a message for 20 minutes. Nothing has changed I posted this thread several weeks ago. Guys, you must do something because it is becoming serious.

Debs · 26-10-2005, 08:06

I KNOW this topic was posted a few weeks ago. Why is it you always take the attitude that we're doing NOTHING about the things you complain about??

Andrew, our tech guy, has been trying to figure out the problem but he sees none at his end of things. We're keeping him posted with what's happening to me, to Rez, to other members, but short of him visiting each location, I have no idea how he can fix a problem he can't actually see or pinpoint. I'll ask him AGAIN if he's found anything.

Kui · 26-10-2005, 08:18

Well there's a bunch of things we could fix. My suggestion is to get rid of all the stuff outside of the forum. You know like the news section and all the junk that is in portuguese. These areas havnt been working for a long time now. Secondly I think we should dump... yes DUMP all old threads that no one or member is any longer replyig to. I know we have some guest who look in our archive section but IMO what is past said here is already re-threaded in new posts so lets dump all the old stuff. I was shocked yet not surprised at how huge our memory database is at. Throw all of that away. Otherwise if there is a way to archive this stuff to save memory or whatever the heck, let do it otherwise trash it.

Debs · 26-10-2005, 08:24

Old threads are going to get dumped. There's probably no reason to have stuff that's any older than a year or maybe 2 at the most. I'm also going to discuss with Andrew how to set up a pruning of members who joined and never posted, those who joined and only posted a few times, and those who have been inactive for X number of years. No guarantee at all that any of that will improve our speed, especially if this really is a case of the server being hit by a worm.

Kui · 26-10-2005, 08:42

Ok sounds good Debs. I say we should keep old threads that are still active alive. I think the members pics and some of the reveal yourself threads a value to this site as it allows us members to get to know each other more intimately. Those are my personal opinions.

Debs · 26-10-2005, 08:49

If something is active it won't be touched...that is if Andrew can find it and pull it out. He's done this sort of pruning before, I trust he'll figure things out for us.

Kui · 26-10-2005, 08:57

Thanks Debs for taking this up with us. I know the tension is getting higher with this hanging over our heads. Making people happy can be a hard thing huh???

Debs · 26-10-2005, 09:10

I'm stressed over as number of things BESIDES this site, believe it or not. My universe is being dragged in so many different directions it's not even funny, so I get a bit annoyed when a nasty tone is taken about something that we've been discussing for a while. If someone wants to do our techie stuff and deal with the server and all that, then PM Rez and Andrew about it! I don't happen to do the techie stuff, all I can do is request that it be done!

Let's see, roomie's dad fell in the parking lot at the doctor's office yesterday. Doc said he seemed OK, sent him home, but he ended up having to go to the ER. Well, that's fine, but roomie's parents are without a vehicle b/c of dad's insistence their old minivan be driven when it should not have been, hence they had roomie's car. Roomie had to take them in to the ER,then also get mom and dog back home. They were in the ER for 8 hours WAITING. Why does this stress me? B/c A) her folks are like a second set of parents to me, B) her dad has been in the hospital 6 times in the past just barely 5 months C) he's getting reallt ornery and hard to deal with and D) brother lives in DC so it all falls on roomie to deal with. Thank God brother is coming home today, the parents spotted a used car they like, so he'll help get all of that taken care of, and dad is going into a nursing home for 2 weeks b/c he needs PT b/c of a cracked pelvic bone.

ON TOP OF ALL THAT, or rather what's been gradually gaining momentum in the panic area...November 6th is my school's Open House for Incoming Freshman, which means THE huge day we promote this school to potential students from all over the area. We're all feeling the pressure to get things in order, prepare displays or demos, and I also have to deal with people deciding at the last minute--because they ignored my email--that they would like to have a TV and VCR or DVD in some location they're using that day for a club, a group, an activity or a class presentation. And I have stuff that needs dealt with in my own area....so I swear I spent half my time at a seminar yesterday making mental lists of things that need done and thinking of who can help me do what.

So anyway, that's my life and my stress and it really doesn't help to come here and deal with "well, this topic's been here for 2 weeks and nothing's been done! harrumph harrumph!" I do what I can in between real life, as does Rez and Andrew, OK?

Sorry, Deb, but I can not find where I have said you are doing NOTHING

I've only said that not many or almost nothing has changed. Because I face the same problems I did several weeks ago.

And do not treat my curiosity and anxiety as an offencive action towards you.

Reza · 26-10-2005, 14:37

Haven't found anything serious so far that points to what rae describes but I will figure it out very soon or I will let rae ban me

rae · 27-10-2005, 06:10

By the way, today I face the same problem...so...

Reza -->

Reza · 27-10-2005, 11:28

rae, you are not getting the error in your first post in this thread anymore, are you?
that must have been fixed couple of days after you posted since that 30 second time out was increased

As for other problems, it is likely some service on the server slowing things down at certain time(s) of day...I haven't pinpointed what it is yet but I am looking

razoruk · 05-12-2005, 09:23

Steps have been taken, Posts that have not been accessed in 12 months are pruned, posters that have not LOGGED IN in 12 month have been removed.
Server configurations have changed. Is it better? Who knows, I never saw the problem at my end anyway

rae · 05-12-2005, 09:26

I wonder what happens when a member who has not loged in for a year comes here and tries to do that?

PS: do you have the archives somewhere?
