Three times in the past 10 minutes I keep getting a display that says Internet Explorer can't display the web page".......and forum pages are taking forever to load......anyone else?

FlyingMoose · 21 February 2008, 01:25 AM

Might be your ISP (internet provider). Mine does that fairly often. I should switch to a different one.

Welshwatchman · 21 February 2008, 01:27 AM

This happens all the time when JJ is logged on.

He breaks the internet.

kcmo · 21 February 2008, 01:30 AM

I had the same problem yesterday afternoon! Weird.

CoopJr · 21 February 2008, 01:34 AM

Sort of. I use Fire Fox and about 20% of the time a page will not load and I get the error. But it's not a true "Boot off" such as a dropped connection. I just hit the back button and try it again. I have also noticed some of the Forum pages loading a bit slower than before. But it happens 20% of the time or less and I am on dial-up which is slow to begin with.

mdx77 · 21 February 2008, 01:37 AM

Maybe it's just me.....it's my day off and 1st my labtop wouldn't work......now my desktop is giving me $%!&! Maybe I should just go back to bed....

I'm starting to believe the post about JJ above......

It's probably just the TRF getting updated. This can makes things slow. Be patient.

ricnas1 · 21 February 2008, 01:46 AM

hmm... it only happens to me in trf lately..

dun have such problems in wn and tz when reloading though.....

Sorry everyone....I wasn't mad or anything, I just thought something was wrong.....I was bored last night and found one of the original threads from years ago that apparently stated there were people hijacking the threads and had some security issues......again, just me being paranoid!

bwalkerVintage · 21 February 2008, 02:07 AM

TRF has been timing out frquently for me too.

Maybe Lol-x can comment, but I think that server traffic has increased incredibly in the last year.

Well myself have been logged in now since 8am UK time not happened to me once,check your user CP settings.

nikhsub1 · 21 February 2008, 02:48 AM

Guys, I am looking into the issue. Since TRF is on my server, I thought I would at least speak up. A couple of modules are to blame so far, nothing to do with this site (TRF) specifically, these modules are being examined and reinstalled. All should be better soon. I will keep this updated as things progress

I know, I didn't see anything about NATO straps on Plattys, or Sheep, or both

I'd say law of probability

I thought you were off to work

Thanks Scott your a legend

Guys, remember all machines require maintenance, just as your watches, so does the server, software etc. of the forum. I think that the performance of the forum has been 99.9% over the last 12 months and Scott (nikhsub1) deserves a huge congratulations and thanks from everyone for this outstanding performance and generosity to all.

You're too kind Steve

Anyway, I think I've nailed the problem(s) down... Spam Assassin (filters all email for all the domains on the server for spam) has been going nuts. It has been reinstalled and so far, it is behaving much better now. Another issue was the server backups were taking anywhere from 7 hours to 23 hours to complete! This process should take no more than 2 hours a day! I'm thinking (and hoping) that the long backups were caused by Spam Assassin overusing the CPU time of the box. FWIW the backup starts at 1am PST and should normally be done by 3am PST. Even when the backup runs users should not even notice, but combine the backup with a run away CPU intensive application can cause some slowdowns etc. Anyway, will be watching closely over the next few days.

If you can, please say if things seem better, worse or the same as this would help me out. For me it seems much better.
