Mainly it's connected with the big threads like I don't use Linux in 10 words where you just can not get a page.
With the smaller discussions you get the Page not Found message but by clicking Back on the browser it generally comes up on the second attempt.
Makes it impossible to contribute to the bigger threads though or to read what's been posted there recently which is probably a [b]Good Thing[/b] so we'll finally see the end of that [b]Thread that Jay Started that is attempting to outdo the EL Thread.[/b] :^0

And seeing it often enough that I can't do a quick catch up... and after walking 12 miles, that is all I had time for earlier. Is now 10:55 CDT and not having as frequently but still not gone.
*sniff*
At least I am not alone!

a few messages, since TR Staff can walk into the site programmers cubicles and beat them over the heads, posting in this forum does get the message across. :D
and TR is usually really good at responding, during the week.
By posting a date/time, the server logs will help them figure out exactly what was going on that caused the error.

That the people responsible take their old [b]IBM M Series Keyboards[/b] into the programmers cubicles to do the damage as they are not actually wishing to do any damage just test out how solid their keyboards are this week. :0
Just don't mention this to anyone or the [b]Thought Police[/b] will be after me when they really should be after you for your posting on [b]Desert![/b] :^0

machines in different locations. Annoying to say the least.

definately a conflict within the site script / network.
for me the problem is not a constant, some times it doesn't happen at all, for weeks on end, then I can't even view anything on the site for hours.

Sporadic- half page loading- unable to reach any link to anywhere.
And it had been doing so well...

We realize that this is a less than ideal experience, and we're working to resolve and prevent these kinds of interruptions.
We don't like them anymore than you. They keep us from developing and enhancing the site.

perhaps there are too many people involved in the mix. Maybe, and I dread saying this, you should shut down completely for a while [i](like 48 hours maybe)[/i] and take a clean sheet approach and relaunch with all your new, supposed, enhancements. Personally I think TR is trying to run too many enhancements such as My Workspace or Blogs plus the mutiple means of tracking dicussions; I would suggest a simpler approach is needed and if you really wish to add an enhancement, let me point out that a spell checker seems to be the one most universally desired.
Before he jumps all over me for that one, I believe Jay would have to admit that, based on recent postings by many, if not most, I am speaking the truth on this matter. I know I'm being or getting tiresome about this but that has essentially been my only complaint about TR to date. Otherwise, I'm reasonably content and think you guys are doing a great job, under what must be trying circumstances. [i](Migawd, look at what a suck up, I'm making out of myself. It shows the lengths I'm prepared to go to, to get that bloody spell checker. LOL)[/i]

With an alias so close to my sign off, I figured you for sharper than that. :^0 I would have thought all us dawgs would take a similar outlook to life.

Sarcasm? you? I never would have guessed. I did notice that the TR is a little more back on track (Thank goodness) Those wack-ooo-s must have gone to trolling the myspacers.
(edited to add:)
about the 'Dawg' thing, I was labled as "da Dawg" some time in the early 70s, in the Millitary (we all had handles for our names, so the buggy man won't know who we really were when we were com'n) as I had a Dog's philosophy anyway. Anyway it was taken on the TR, so 'Dawgit' which is my e-mail address (for business ;-) ) and 'Dawgit' is close to a cuss too. :-)

school in the fifties. Later in the sixties, I became a big fan of Cdr. Alan Shepard whose nick name was the Ice Commander, with a very dry and sarcastic sense of humour and somehow that name stuck to me as well. Allan isn't with us anymore but he still holds the record for the longest 9 iron shot on the moon. It was a prank of his but you have to consider it takes 10 pounds of fuel to put every pound into orbit. NASA was taken completely by surprise when he whipped out his 9 iron and golfball and took his shot. Considering the bulk of the space suit, it was one hell of a shot. He was one hell of a guy and to this day I still consider it an honour to have met him several times. BTW one of his high school nick names was Mad Dog as well. He was one hell of a great guy.

I also had a Hero in teh Cdr. Alan Shepard. I didn't ever get to meet him however. There was a time in 62, or 63 maybe, I can't remember now, I was suppose to meet him. He couldn't make for some reason, and his wife was there for him, with a good explaination for his being unable to attend. I thought that really a class act on both their parts. (and that considering I was just 'another' kid at the time) They just don't make too many people like that anymore. Sad really, how the times change.

I've been accused of being a 'Mad-Man' from time to time, (they got over it) but was never a 'Mad-Dawg'. Does 'OLD' Dawg count too?

A change was made yesterday to improve performance which may also alleviate this issue as well.
Please feel free to respond to this message (or contact me via private message) to let us know whether the site's performance has improved or this issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Doug
