General Website Gripes

[WARP TEN]

Hi guys--
I don't like to complain but I have two general website gripes that have been bugging me for a long time and came to a head recently.

One is that there is a very quick timeout on this website. If I take a few minutes to compose a posting or a reply to a private message, the website will timeout when I try to post it and say I have to sign in. And most irritating is that the text disappears. Then I have to sign on again and re-write the post. It happened again this morning trying to reply to a PM. Twice it kicked me out when I tried to post--fortunately the second time I had copied the text before hitting the post button, so I signed on a third time and was finally able to post. And you can't tell you'll be kicked out because your log in shows that you are still logged in. This never happens on any of the other Corvette and other forums that I frequent, including ones by V-Bulletin. Only here. Can we not correct this with our web hosting firm? It is extremely annoying.

The second is that the website is often very slow. I have to wait and wait when I post a reply or go back and forth between postings. Have we switched servers in the past year or so? None of the other websites are as slow as this one in switching pages and it is often so slow that I simply give up and go to other forums. Is there not a solution to this also? Sorry--just a little annoyed this morning. --Bob

Really!?

Having NONE of those issues here, Bob! I'm using (ed.) FOXFIRE, FWIW.

(I simply HATE auto-correct.)

If other websites weren't so much better in these areas I would not have noted the situation. I am using Windows Internet Explorer 10. Seems to work fine with all other websites. I have never been timed out on any other sites, and they certainly all seem faster. But the fact that you don't have problems may mean it has something to do with my system. But a bit of a puzzle since I just don't have the same issues with other venues. --Bob

Bob I have seen the same speed issues.. I am always signed in do that is not a issue for me. There are days this site is very slow and other when it is fine. I too have asked and the response was it was five for them.. Must be me..

I have seen the issues on 3 different computers, 2 different androids and 5 different Internet provider connections

I'd like it if we could post pics directly or at least attach larger files.

I never have had slowness issues.....for the clockout on the post, I always "copy" my note to avoid the potential of losing it.

Thanks for all the responses and suggestions, guys. Lee, I normally always copy it also and usually need that copy. Just doesn't seem like I should have to do that. Doesn't happen on other websites. --Bob

Later edit: PS, when I posted this reply it took about 10 seconds for the screen to come back.

Hi Jeff--I always sign out and frequently clear cookies and temp files. And I guess you are right--there are days when it works fine, but mostly slower. To my original question--did we switch servers some time ago? I now get all my email notices from Jim Voter's computer/email address for some reason. Is there some relation there? --Bob

No changes have been made to the server to my knowledge for many years. All invoices I have for the forum hosting are to the same company. They could have possibly made internal changes of which we are not aware.

Jim is co-administrator of the forum and probably changed that information in 2011. Email contact should probably be forum@zr1netregisry.com

I've never been timed out. Matter of fact, when I open the window, I'm logged in. I would be in trouble if I had to log in, wouldn't know how to do it.

And I'm always quick between pages, never wait long, five seconds would be slow for me.????
