:( Must be a time of day thing, seems alright now ???

Very odd Roy,

I have a monitor constantly looking at the server performance, and looking at today shown in the graph below, you can see a definite hitch at around 9/10.

Note that this monitor runs over the internet, not on the server itself.

I will ask the people who host the site to have a look and see what happened.

Cheers

Dan

:) Thanks Dan :) Thought it was just me for a minute ??? But it's getting better by the day 8)

I'm really really sorry to have to say that yesterday I logged in to find stacked PMs waiting. Managed to reply to ONE only, cos then real-life took over & I was time-expired here :(

Logged on early this morning, but had to abandon the attempt.

Logged on here later this morning & there was little difference. Managed to read rest of PMs & mail privately to another.

Logged on just now & have (successfully! hurray!!!!) responded to 2 threads. But waited an age for this thread here to load to log my experiences. :(

So sorry, Dan, but it's really not working for me at the times I can be here.

Anyone wishing to mail me, please, contact Tim, Eric, Ina or Rosebud,who have my Hotmail addy & can pass it on.

Meanwhile, as I can't even access threads already posted, particularly if they're 3 pages long & contain pix, in a reasonable time-frame for me, I'm (reluctantly) off to pastures new until things clear here. - Regards, 'Lishka

The last hour has been impossible!!

Roy Bham UK · « **Reply #50 on:** April 16, 2005, 21:10:27 »

On the 10/04/05 @ 0830 to 0835 I waited 5 minutes to turn a page and gave up, 92 seconds was my previous record on 25/3/05.

I really thought everything was sorted now but it's back with avengence :o

I could not even get into this thread earlier, it took me to the dreaded "This page cannot be displayed" - Hence my Mark II posting.

It has just taken me about 4 minutes to get here - Let's hope our host can find the source of this problem.
;) :)

Afraid I will have to abandon today's A4A surf as it is sticking like mad again. taken me 3Min's 20secs to open home page >:( at 0805am today 40 secs to turn a page and 4Min's to get back to home page >:( Can't spare the time when its dry and sunny got work to do up the Lottie ;D

Lily · « **Reply #53 on:** April 23, 2005, 07:31:42 »

I'm sorry to hear that people are having problems. I've been using the A4A site for half an hour this morning with no problems. Does it have anything to do with the amount of people that are on the site at once.

maz · « **Reply #54 on:** April 23, 2005, 10:05:50 »

I found it slow yesterday too and as usual blamed my pute. ::) Sorry pute :-*

Marianne · « **Reply #55 on:** April 23, 2005, 18:39:40 »

Hi Lily,

I am not sure what the problem is, I believe it is the main server. Sometimes it takes me ages to get to the Home page and I just have to go elsewhere .... However I am pleased to say that today, all is well. ;D

Roy Bham UK · « **Reply #56 on:** April 25, 2005, 22:36:26 »

It's been slow again tonight late evening and got progressively worse :'(

Doris_Pinks · « **Reply #57 on:** April 26, 2005, 08:24:26 »

like watching paint dry this morning :(

Roy Bham UK · « **Reply #58 on:** May 12, 2005, 23:51:33 »

:( Worse than that tonight >:( more like waiting for the invisible man ::) GEEZ! >:(

Looking at the frequency of problems, it does not appear to be to bad.

Now before you all scream at your monitors, let me explain what I mean.

All websites cost someone money to run, and the more you pay for hosting, the more reliable service you get (as a rule).

You can go from free hosting on yahoo (or similar) with very restrictive policies on what you can do, to managed dedicated servers - costing many thousands of pounds a year.

We are hosted on a well respected host, rochen, who whilst having some problems, deal with them quickly, and charge a reasonable amount, they are not the cheapest, or the most expensive!

In the past we have been with, u-net, easily, lewismedia, ixhosting and some others I can not remember. Some of these hosts resulted in the website falling over more than once a day! Others where excellent, and I only with we could have stayed with lewismedia, but they stopped hosting.

I hope that makes sense, and I am looking for a better way of hosting the website, but at the moment I think our current home is a good balance between cost and performance.

Cheers

Dan
