is it just me (and Bill) or has anyone else noticed we are running slower here? I know me & Bill are not the most computer savvy guys on here but it sure seems slower to me... john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

| The site is almost unusable for me. None of the other forums I read are this slow. If anybody has a cure please tell me . This is one of my favorite forums but at times I just give up and move on because it locks up. |

I'm guessing Keith is already aware of the situation.

Yes he has been working on the email situation for quite some time and from what I'm told that was due to hackers. Not sure if this slowdown is the same cause though. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Although the 131 subnet at Aply does seem a little congested, other sites on the same subnet running the same win2003/IIS/mssql arch have almost immediate db search results, it appears to me that ccfan sql may not be indexed or needs some indexing attention. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2687" rel="nofollow - Tique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=9750" rel="nofollow - Silver |

painfully slow. it seems like CCFan has more host problems than any other forum i visit, it's not available on tapatalk (iphone). i'm absolutely not taking anything away from keith or anyone else administering, i'm sure it a ton of work with little reward. i'd be more than willing to contribute by paying a subscription fee to bring this website out of the dark ages. on most of the other sites i visit, there are benefits for paying members. |

I have a feeling and maybe Keith will confirm that the slowdown has something to do with the sites anti spam.

It's running fast today. Long term, we need to figure out how to make money off the spammers. Would pay the servers fees forever! I think the Toyota site charges for the right to post questions.

Keith does this in his spare time. It's a hobby, not a job. He has a job and a family that come first. I don't think anyone has any room to complain at all, nor am I sure that any of us guests in Keith's home are in any position to tell him what he "needs" to do. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Thank you guys! Your observation on not being able to post more than one line was a huge clue. I was easily able to duplicate that scenario which pointed me in the right direction. At first I figured someone had used SQL Injection to somehow restrict the character limits on the message field. However, upon further investigation (and Lewy's comment) I determined it might be a data storage issue. I deleted some old tables that I was no longer using and also requested additional storage capacity be added to the SQL server. Looks like we're all fixed now. Please let me know if you have any additional problems. I will be deleting this post later today if I don't hear of any further issues.

Likewise, extrememely slow, in fact this is the first time all day the site has even opened for me, and it's not my computer because it flies right thru everything else all day long. Keith, it's such a great site. Is it a money issue? I have no idea how much it'd cost to upgrade the servers/etc or how many regular users there are, but if 200 sent you just 25 bucks that's give you $5000 to play with, is that enough? If you need it, throw out some real numbers, can't hurt to ask... CCFan saves us all so much in the long run, pitching in is a no-brainer. Just a thought.
