I have opened a support ticket with the host - things have been pretty bad on and off for a few days - let us see if they have an answer.

I've been struggling too. very slow indeed!

"Page could not be displayed" sign kept popping up for the first half hour at 8.30 this morning and now I'm waiting on average 13seconds for a page to open and close...very frustrating.

This site appears identical to our A4A and zips through, I was wondering if they could offer any clues to solve the problem? http://www.takingthelead.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl

Roy,

Sods law, but I've just tried to view the other site and it is down!

I have spoken to the hosts of this website, and they are taking action against some of there other customers tonight who are abusing the servers.

Everything should be allot better tomorrow.

Cheers

Dan

I've just got into http://www.takingthelead.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl.

The forum 'over there' is much smaller than ours - they only have 3 people on line at the moment, we have over 30 at the minute.

I will however get in touch with the admin and ask who they host with.

Cheers

Dan

Hi
I am the admin of the Taking the Lead site - I have pm'd Dan with all the information - not that I wanted it to be a secret but until I started to nosy round your forum - I never realised there was a thread on the problem.

My reply was a little lengthy so I will not repeat it again but I am sure that Dan will read it shortly.

By the way this is a great forum and its success is due to the contributions by the members - keep it up - well done
John ;)

Thank you John for offering help, much appreciated, this is an exciting and vibrant site for allotmenteers young and old and speed is of the essence for knowledge gained so we can crack on with the growing of our veggies at this time of year. ;D

I am a newbie to your site http://www.takingthelead.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl and have gained a lot of help in my short time of owning a puppy (they don't stay puppies for long ::)) and enjoyed the banter and the fun photo's.

Roy ;)

There's a lot of topics on this site that go back a long way - I've found a lot with threads going back 13 months or so. I'd set them to only go back, say, 10 months very maximum. Preferrably 6 months - particularly the gallery which, naturally, has lots of pics. Also the host sever will make a difference

Admin aka Dan · « **Reply #10 on:** March 22, 2005, 15:50:53 »

The forum history should not make a difference, the software used for the site, SMF is very efficient, as is the SQL backed which holds all the posts.

The issue is the host - I have been in contact with them, and they have assured me things should improve very soon.

As some of you will know we are on our 6th host, and the ones we are with now are by far the best (apart from lewismedia - but they stopped providing hosting services!), I am loathe to leave the current hosts, only to find ourselves in a worse position.

But the situation is being closely monitored, and if things do not improve very soon then ....

Val · « **Reply #11 on:** March 22, 2005, 17:27:44 »

Thanks Dan, its good to know whats going on.

rosebud · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2005, 20:18:36 »

I have given up twice today already, almost gave up just now but i shall try and persevere. Other websites seem to be OK Dan, do not want to cause you any headaches maybe it is just a small glitch and will sort itself out.
cheers Rosebud.

Well I have spent the day (in between gardening) hopping from one site to another and I have to say that they are all about the same speed. Mind I am usually playing Patience while waiting for pages to load so I may not notice exactly how long it does take to load uo. ;D

Roy Bham UK · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2005, 23:01:40 »

Another half hour locked out tonight, 9.40 to 10.10pm and the going very slow, no luck with John then? ???

Admin aka Dan · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2005, 23:04:55 »

Not as of yet Roy, there was a problem tonight which resulted in the whole site bing down for half an hour.

The speed here is much improved now, is it no better for you?

Cheers

Dan

Lovely jubbly today Dan thank you. :D

NattyEm · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2005, 12:38:25 »

Roy Bham UK · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2005, 22:48:12 »

My first time on today and it appears to be running smoothly, (frightened to say too much in case I break the spell :o)

Roy,
I was hoping to access The Lead with my current ID on A4A but see that I have to re-register ...
