Allotments 4 All

What happened yesterday at around 2300?  One error message after another and so slow that I gave up in the end,  Too many users apparently (there were only 7 regulars when I checked).  And searches gave error messages too - something along the lines that my last search had been less than 5 seconds ago, when I had actually no done a search before at all.

After a few days of excellent performance, last night was pretty bad.  It is of course possible, even likely, that Dan was working on it, but if that wasn't the reason, there is a problem.

Attaching pictures now works fine, thank you.

Jayb invited for a chat the other day - when I noticed and tried to join it was all over - sorry.  But - we used to be able to see from the home page whether there was anybody in the chat room and I don't think this feature has been installed yet.

Thanks for all your work, Dan
 

Hi Galina, 'users in chat' can be found on the Home page just below the list of Who's online.

There was a problem yesterday with the company who host the website.

I was in touch with them all day, looks like they resolved the issue overnight.

Performance and reliability seem better overall since the upgrade, hopefully after a hiccup yesterday that will continue :)

Thank you Jayb - clearly need to learn how to look and 'see' 

need a big 'duh' icon!!!  Does    help? 

Thanks JayB and thanks Dan.

Dan - Hi, I posted a couple of q's in the mod section if you can have a look at them.
Cheers

A cuppa always helps 
Cake too!

Hi Dan, I'm finding the forum a bit sticky at times this evening, one error message re too many users, but not many about at the time. Other sites are loading fine.

Dan, I'm still finding it very slow to get in to start, and if I want to look at my own posts, I keep getting "an error has occurred" due to high volume, etc . . . . Hope you aren't really spending ALL day on A4A problems!

Hi Dan - today for a while I'ts been impossible to open the site... now it seems ok but a bit slow..

Dan, we used to have a list of all the members logged in during the day at the bottom of Users Online, could we have it back if possible please? I used to enjoy seeing who had been about even if they hadn't posted.

 Hi Dan,    the update looks great nice & clear with being white.
Love the new smillies. Thank you very much for all your work for this forum.
Rosebud.

Works well now - thanks Dan!

Surprised to see that MSN, Yahoo and Google are registered members - how
come?                                     

Hi  Dan
Came across this and thought you might like to add it to the site although not founds are rare on here.

Looks like a great idea, I'll look into it :)

One thing I have noticed tonight Dan is I cannot see an obvious link to a users gallery either under their profile or on profile part of a user post.
I am pretty certain there used to be a link(icon) if you had any images in your gallery. Is this just a setting that needs to be changed?
Also is the wiki now gone for good?
