Hi Group. I wanted to notify you of a major slow-down on the server which carries MadridMan.com. They're telling me of upgrades taking place and things should be back to normal (or faster) by the end of tomorrow/Thursday, but that there may also be some outages (that MadridMan.com might NOT be accessible from time to time). Sorry for the problem and thanks for your patience.

Hi MM, I wondered why it took so long to reach the board today, thought it was my computer playing up!
Thanks.

Yeah. Sorry about that. I'll be happy when tomorrow (Thursday) is finished. HOPEFULLY they'll have all their $#!+ together by then and we'll have a speedy server. :o

GRRRR!!! Clearly, they haven't fixed/updated the server yet. It's as slow as it has been for the whole week. Don'tcha just HATE THAT???!! Sorry for the slow-down, people. Thanks for your patience. Have a nice weekend!

The webhost, not having any idea or any indication that the server is running like a turtle, has offered to move the site to a different server (same URL, of course) so let's hope that helps. Frustrating, huh? Sorry, people!

MadridMan,

Even though slow is frustrating, no board would be catastrophic. I'll take a slow MadridMan site over anyting else out here.

Of course, fast would be super cool....

Hi, MM--
I agree with Wolf...slow is better than nothing! You mentioned in another thread that you're changing over to RoadRunner, which I did recently too (and I thought that was what made the board seem slow--that zippy cable modem makes all the difference in the world after years of campus-based dialup!).

I just have to say that the amount of work you put in on this board is absolutely amazing (does your boss know you do this? ) and it's become a highlight of my day to check in (too many times, I am afraid) and see what's going on here. So THANK YOU, so very much, MadridMan, for bringing all of us together. I will happily twiddle my thumbs while pages load!!

It seems they have FINALLY moved the website to a newer/faster server. Does anyone/everyone notice an improvement?? They STILL need to correct the clock though. Sheesh!!

MadridMan,

Yes! It does seem to be a quite a bit faster.

Thanks!

Wolf

What is happening?

The past two days the board has been unaccesible, and a few of the posts have disappeared. Are there internet gremlins at work, or has the web-host been acting up?

There were a few posts about New Years, a couple by yours truly, that have seemed to slip into a cyber-blackhole. I hope all has been cleared up, so we can once again revel in this great board.
Cheers!
