Problems with this site?

[capncnut]

Capn - I understand the nuisance of not being able to get on, but these things do take time, especially for someone who's got a Mrs and a couple of tots running around. At least ask nicely, cos Neil does put a lot of time and effort and even money into HPOTD, and has done so over many years, eh? My aggression comes from the fact the problems of this site have been ongoing for YEARS. I joined in September 06 and the place was like a snail then. With complaints regarding the overall performance being posted on a regular basis. It just seems that 'everything will be resolved soon' and isn't. Yesterday's whole day of not being able to get in was the final straw to man who'd drunk 15 beers. And as for asking nicely, old bean, search through this very thread and see how many times I've asked nicely. Edit: Oh, and for reference. http://forum.homepageofthedead.com/s...referrerid=716

It's more 'standard website' based than anything to do with the forum.

ive set this as my homepage lately and eveyr time it loads this week it says theres a server error and i need to reload it like 3 or 4 times.

Very odd too that some people are free and easy to browse problem free, and some can't. The selective nature of the problem is really confusing, at least to me anyway. :confusing: The forum and site is running fine for me right now, and has been for weeks...very confusing.

Last week, HPotD was running so quick that it actually seemed ominous, like it was too good to be true. Everytime I clicked a reply, bang, it was there. But it was too good to be true because performance is bad for me right now. It has taken me untold attempts to get in over the last hour but I'm sober so I'm not as aggressive as I was last night. Today some funny things happened. When I was given the index url by a friend, I had the 'Page not found. The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable' message flash up three times before I actually got in. Also as I type in this message now I am having to enter smileys and tags by hand as none of the links in the message area are working. It really is baffling... ...and annoying!

I'm glad you concur recent performance has been getting better... The current problem is the opposite of the usual one. The forum and database are running well, just all web requests (eg: for HTML pages and image etc) are having problems. If the forum has any problems it'll be because of images and style sheets etc... It'll get sorted, so if you find you're having problems, go watch a movie, have a bear, and try again tomorrow ps: At this precise moment, even though the rest of HPotD is terrible, this forum seems pretty good But I suspect until the main problem is sorted, forum performance will be up and down like a whore's drawers!

Perhaps the smileys not clicking in from the menu is down to a page not fully loading, it's like how the drop down forum select thing at the bottom of the page only works if the page is fully loaded. Anyway, no sooner had I mentioned my smooth performance, I've just had a couple of slow-poke-patches...I think I'm jinxed.

This weekend was awful. In between breaks in editing I was trying to hop on and stir up some trouble and kept getting the errors... today it seems like it has been fixed. However, it is annoying when you can't get on here. This place is like a heroin addiction. Even though I have cut back in my habit, I still need a jolt every once and a while.

Its been a nightmare for me as well this weekend!what happens is i open the main site,click forums on the tool bar at the top,then i click "homepage of the dead forums" on the next page, the loading bar at the bottom of my screen gets halfway across then sticks for a minute or so before it jumps to the "internet explorer cannot display the webpage" screen! no amount of hitting refresh or whatever will make it work either!
