For the past month or so I will be on here and click a topic or heading etc. and it just sits there. going nowhere.
I sometimes get sever 500 error.
Wait a few minutes & all seems fine then it will happen again. Roughly 3 or 4 times a session. I've tried using Firefox rather than IE but it also happens on my work computer. So different computer, different connection, different ISP, different IP address.
So Graeme are you trying to give me a message? ???
Or are we just on here too often and need to get a life? :D
-
Yes I have been getting the same for quite a while.
-
Same here

Same thing is happening to me also.

Yep having the same dramas, thought it was my computer. Any ideas.
-
All the time. I have to turn my computer off and go away for a bit.
Then it seems to be OK ???
-
happening over here too [nz], thought it was just my old computer but is ok on other sites, i just go and make a cuppa & is usually ok after that. Actually i've been blaming the kids--yelling, what the hell are you downloading, i can't get on here--[naarrthing dad, get a descent computer].

Yep last couple of months happens at random , mind you lots of things happen at random ;) people get robbed at random , cars crash at random things go missing at random and now my favorite site goes off the air at random :'(
Moral of the story "dont move to random "

10-4 on that here too!! FINALLY SOMETHING WE ALL AGREE ON!!! :D :D :D

If I was an IT nerd then I would say there are 2 issues:
1. Site hosting issues - most likely bandwidth coming into the data centre being choked (technical term)
2. Some shitty Internet connections of some of the forum brothers
Site issues are happening more frequently at my end as well but I know that the site owner does this for love not money so I just suck it up because the forum keeps me connected to vmx while I navigate another shitty work week (work sucks).
-
me too, just thought it was at my end like everyone else.
Perko has started a movement !

Tried a new post in competition earlier, when I press post it come up with a server error. It listed the post but with no information.

This i have had the frustration of dealing with, a tip is to make sure you hit the "copy" button every time before to press the "Post" button. That way if you encounter that server error when you attempt to post you will simply have to press "paste" in the dialogue box to have your comments back without rewriting everything.
Cheers, Brendan

If it is connected to site hosting issues it might be time we kicked across some funds to Graeme and keep this great site rolling. Peter.

Dropped off the planet for a while but now AOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Its thats little korean prick playing with our forum wires ;D
-
Me too, lock ups and frozen screens ect for maybe seven weeks, also I find out now to a friend that is using Google chrome spray .,
-
Yup. I try loading other sites which I know are OK and then re-try the forum and often it then loads. Or it could be just a case of superstitious reinforcement............
-
Me too :)
-
I thought it was my old PC but i just got a I7 and it still freezes, but not nearly as much or for as long,
same thing but - I am not bitching either.
it also happens on MYzoo webmail to me.
Cheers
-
Well I'm a little late but can I join the club too?.....mine locks up on a regular basis. I originally thought it was my PC but it does it on my laptop as well. I haven't tried logging on with my phone, the screens too small for my rooted eyesight 8).
-
All good west side !
-
sometimes it takes ages for forum pages to load,i go in & piss off the page of fugging cookies,then compootas quick again,works for me, :P

Haven't tried chrome but if it does work I will use it just for the forum and make it the home page.
-
Yup. Running Mozilla and pages wont load every now and then.

-
Hey Ross - any "nam" era bazooka's/rifle ranges/blowing up buses/cows going on in Laos? If so will get a trip organised with Suz59
P.S Say's it all if you are fine with developing country bandwidth! We are getting too used to sub nano second web page responses...
-
It just took me six attempts to get into the forum, kept bringing up the 500 error....

Got this just before

Yep, just had the same error messages, which is the first time I've had the problem. Left it for a while then tried again...and here I am.
-
Dunno, it is all running a bit slow with page freezes. I will do some site maintenance tonight and see if that helps...
-
Yes, today has been a problem ???
-
Thanks graham your work is appreciated
-

Not expecting it to change anything mate but it's probably time a few of us leaches made a donation as Pete (billetyz) suggested, we all appreciate you're time an effort put in to continuously provide us with this platform. Where can we find the details to make a donation mate??
-
I have put up with that error message for a couple of years, I had always put it down to my slow internet speed.
As for logging on, I have always had trouble logging on at the top of the page, always took a few tries to get in but logging on at the bottom of the page always seems to work better.
-
Scunge - nah connection speed up here better than I am used to - bandwidth/technology not something short of over here ;D
Actually there is a range local to me I am wanting to try out - AKs, Uzi's - will let you know.
Oh sorry - they won't let Craigy in here :'(
-
I did some site maintenance last night so that may have helped. I did find a database error that I can't fix, plus this version of the forum software is now really old. I know it is possible to upgrade but I've read up on it and it's beyond me (or at least, I don't have the enthusiasm to put the effort into it).
I am tempted to start from scratch with the latest version of the software, or even a different forum program. My host has a range of different systems available. If I went to a different one, it'd still work much the same way so no big drama there, the only issue would be anyone's bookmark's or favourites but that's easy enough to fix. I *think* it's possible to port all member accounts across so no-one would need to re-register.
If I go down that track, I'd close this current forum off and keep it as an archive. That means that it'd still be able to be searched or read or linked to.
Alternatively, if there's anyone with a clue about this stuff that could help fix the database and upgrade the software, I'd be most grateful.
At this stage, I am looking for opinions. Whaddya reckon?
-
Graeme you will do whats best i know :) but the thought of letting this one go :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( it would be like knocking down a blokes local :o :o
Keeping it as an archive would be great , but hopefully someone a lot clever than me will have the answers to keeping this one alive :)
Whatever the outcome thanks again for providing this great facility for us :) its as i said before my bastion from the PC world ;D
My wife is happy to contribute to maintence cost as being here keeps me from interfering in family life , apparantly her and the kids have that under control ;D
-
Happy Birthday Graeme and thanks for giving us the best VMX forum on the web.
-
X 2 what Firko said.
-
Wishing you a very happy birthday Graeme :) have a great day .
-
Hear! Hear!
-
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. So far it's been a pretty good day. I got a nice Google Nexus tablet as my birthday present on which I can download and read my online magazines and last Sunday I spent a day at one of the most enjoyable race meets I have had the pleasure of attending.
Now if anyone would like to make it even better, think about what you post. I really *hate* moderating and trying to work out the right balance of what's OK and what isn't. So, just because I asked nicely and it's my birthday, anyone who may have posted anything contentious today might like to reconsider if that was a good idea...

Dont worry Ross I can get a fake passport from your supplier-see you soon :-*

Enjoy your birthday to the max Greame! Cheers mate Tim754
-
What's happening people, [just woke up], had a beer after sawing wood all afternoon behind the old 'Fergy Dangerous Weapon Saw' & fell asleep--damn, now i'll be awake all night. Beer must have been for Graeme's Birthday!! so 'happy b/day Graeme, & thanks for running this 'forum', i'd sort of be a bit lost without it now, & has become a regular daily habit. Whatever the outcome [forum] thanks again.

-
Timed out 3 times to get threw today ,who has 20 mins to sit waiting??
-
Yeah it IS playing up. I was contemplating trying to migrate to a different system but am not savvy enough. I am thinking of hiring an IT guy to help me do it. Stay tuned.
-
I haven't had much trouble lately
-

don't do it i hate change.
-
Oops, what I meant was, get an IT guy to help me upgrade the existing system and fix the problems! Once I find someone and get a quote, I may need to call for donations to help fund it.
-
Talking about "IT" guys. Looks like the IT Australia site has crashed in a big way and possibly lost the last year of posts. They're working hard to restore it soI wish them well.
-
have donated before happy to do so again.How many 100's of users few bob each and should more than cover costs
-
Yep. I have sussed out a local company and will email them for a quote on what I need and will report back. My plan is upgrade the software, go to a new webhost (local) and do some integration if possible.
-
It seems a lot better the last few days..
-
Timed out again and again before got threw,will check in month or so if fixed.Let me know if when you get quote you need donations
-
seems to be a non issue now that the upgrade has been done
