How are things going with the performance issues?
Must say this weekend has been a right PITA with "connection" messages.
My patience has got frustrated over the last few days, I must say.
( I am not grumpy - though it may sound like it -, just frustrated more than usual and wandering how things are progressing)

but as has been said, they are working on it, and when they get time, it will be sorted.

Other way round for me. PC seems ok (well, better than the laptop, which is really bad), but still hit and miss.

I have issues reaching pages and give up.  I have trouble posting, but don't give up.  Lately, I'm just having troubles.  Might go play FB Bingo again and give this site a miss for another night.   :'(

I'm no nerd in these areas but I do run several VPS servers so have a little experience....

From a little research I've found the server is located in the US (Hostmonster) so assuming it's just web hosting and not a VPS, I've also found there is a bucket load of routing issues

Basically the host you are using is almost as cheap as they come, there resource sharing is so cramped you'd be lucky to be getting 0.001% not to mention the routing issue from tg1-1.ar01.prov.acedc.net [199.58.196.37] to the server itself.

Solution = Get a VPS, US based is OK makes things a little cheaper but ideally AUS based Servers are best, I can set you one up if you like for around $20 month, I'd even go as far as saying I'd be prepared to share a VPS with you (your own account separate from mine) that way you can be guaranteed a minimum of say 256mb of Ram just for your site instead of the 12mb your currently getting.

I don't mean to insult whoever owns the site but it is frustrating not being able to access it, and it is a simple fix really with the right resources at hand, I doubt I'm not alone in offering cash to improve the stability of what is in my opinion the best place for CT owners

I have been away for three weeks on Fraser Island what a great time we had, before i left the site was slow to load on puter was hoping it would be quicker when i got back but it is way slower,i know the powers that be are doing all they can and i am not having a go at anyone about the site just saying what i am experiencing knowing nothing about servers or any thing in regards to the operation of running a site but the post above mine may be on to something.

To me its like your favourite car when it is playing up, you know something like a miss off idle or a flat spot or something........its annoying but you love that car so much you just drive around it until you can fix it!!

Im sure 'they' will sort the forums issues out when they get the opportunity :)

Seems to be worse in the times of high usage, so I usually try to access early in the mornings etc

p.s. Jeepers, all seems good this morning but you are having problems??? Very strange!

p.s. again [pps or pss??] The time stamp is also out an hour - currently shows 7:20 but EST is 6:20.

Hi,
          Page created in 30.866 seconds with 74 queries.

Guess it is a bit slower now because the load has increased.
