Sorry Bob... but I am having problems again

[Lisa]

I have been having difficulty all day loading the pages... most of the page loads but then it sits there for a minute or two and hesitates, then finally finishes loading. Doesn't seem to be happening on any other website I visit.

Also these last few days when I come online it says I have X number of new posts, but when I click on view new posts, it says "sorry no matches found" and then resets to zero again

Anyone else having problems lately or is it just me?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Might be the server. I've noticed the same lag on occation, and the load's been high. Give it a day and if it's still being flakey, let me know. I'll check with the server folks in the mean time.

I've had that post problem too, but not consistently, when it says x amount of posts and then resets to 0. TW

 

[Flatlander]

Tons of lag right now - 35 users.

 

[Andrew Green]

Same things over here.

There's unfortunately not much I can do right now. My DSL's toast until the new unit gets UPSed to me by Verizon. As far as I can tell, it's either a server or image loading issue. Server's under a bit of a load, but nothing that should really cause problems. If anyone can, next time you have issues, please try and get a traceroute to MT and post it if possible. I'll look at it ASAP. Hopefully, it'll work out over the weekend.

For me Bob, I think it was an image loading issue.. it seemed to get stuck there.

As far as a traceroute to MT? Could you pretend I know nothing about computers (which I don't ) and put that in terms I might understand. Thanks

when one computer connects to another you pretty much never get a straight line, it bounces around from server to server in the middle.

A trace route traces the route that your connection takes, on windows I believe you would enter this at a command line (go to run, type "cmd")

tracert martialtalk.com

and on linux:

traceroute martialtalk.com

Not to bad right now, but so everyone knows what it is (taken of linux, windows should produce something very similar)

ms = Milisecond, and you might want to * out the last two numbers on the top set (as that is your computer, and your ip getting picked up by a bored script kiddie is not a good thing )

Bob,

Having a lag problem again. Won't load the complete page, just sits there. Figured I would give you a heads up.

 

[BlueDragon1981]

When i am at home on my crappy dial up i get some lag....but only a little bit worse than regular...since it is crappy dial up.

Something might be bottlenecking the bandwidth.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

I'm working on optimizing the main forumpage graphics. Will see if that helps some.

Bob,

I have been losing new posts today, just about every time I log on. I have noticed that it has happened a couple of times in the last few days. Not really a big problem, but just thought I would let you know.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

I'm hoping to be able to cover the server upgrades in the spring. We need a little more horsepower.
