General Website Gripes - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WARP TEN · 08-16-2014

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
