Default Same problems.....

There are times when access and wait time to post a reply is just to much...

Now having said that I am not trying to put down the MLU forum.... would like to know what I can do at my end to speed things up..

I do have high speed connection with optical videotron cabling and use AOL...

I notice that there are some dead times when things are very slow even using the server at the office....security at the governemntoffice means some features of MLU are not available.....

I have been having problems with the overlapping security process of AOL and Norton..... but it was worst with McCaffee which explains my migration to Norton.

I can't give particular times for the slow down except to say that I usually access MLU during the evening hours from home.

In the same time frame I get quick response from Stovebolt or other web site so it seems to be MLU related somehow and possibly agravated by AOL and the busy evening hours when everybody else tries to do the same thing...

Bob
.... just curious!!!!

A lot of times when I click on new posts I get a "Database Error". If I try again in about a half hour it sometimes works.

Yes, true. From what I've been able to gather, the volume of uploaded pics seems to be overloading the server, forcing me to shut down the forum and run a series of diagnostics which usually find me the corrupted jpg allowing me to delete it. I'm still looking into it, though, and will report when I have a more complete understanding of the problem.

I also have to upgrade the forum version again - no, not like the last time! - and hopefully that may help as well.
