Slow site

[Medusa]

Yes, I often experience this. Sometimes I have to give up completely.

I tried to get into PT to post on a thread but, after 15min , I finally gave
up. I could display POTD&COTD & DOTD, but could not post to any thread.

All other sites I visited loaded just fine. This was about 1:30pm today.

Was PT down today?

Yeah, I couldn't get into any threads on my lunch hour either. And when I did finally get on it said there were only 24 users online, you know there is a problem when there are only 24 people who can get into Pet Talk. When I came back a few minutes later it said there were 229 people (or something like that) logged on.

I also couldn't get on a few hours ago, but it seems to be OK now.

Karen and Paul, perhaps with the change you are going to make, it would be good time to put a limit to the size of images. They must take up a huge amount of space.

We were not online at that time, so didn't know about the slow-down until we saw your posts. It seems okay now.

Randi, the images are stored differently in this version of the software. I don;t know how the new server with affect that, but it handles the images much better now than it used to. Most people post images that are hosted elsewhere, unless they post them as attachments and I think that's now a separate database.

Images can eat up space but this was not just slow response, it was
actually little to no response. I figured it was just a blip & would clear
up later. It was awful. Don't you all feel sorry for me now?

I was having the same problem you were so we are in the same cup of tea there!

Sometimes it has to do with our server, but some slowdowns can be because of a connection somewhere between you and our server, the Internet goes through several nodes and "portals" and what they do is beyond our control!

Awww, poor Liz. Feel better now?
