Really, really slow and many features don't appear -- can no longer search by state, to check posts about my own (rather popular) state. Must hit "stop" and "Refresh" after almost every link.<BR><BR>I think I'll take a week or two off, to give these folks time to work out the glitches that they MUST be aware of by now.

I was gone all evening and was surprised to see how few posts had been made, so I knew something was up. The US board seems to be worse. There were only 2 posts made in an hour and a half period this evening. For the last two days it was fine for me, but today it's been off and on with all kinds of problems. I'm thinking it can only get better??

The site may not be to blame. It may be your ISP. Ours has been slow since last weekend. Something to do with the server virus that got loose last weekend. Give it a chance to recover. This is a great site. A few inconveniences may come from the slowdown but ot is not life threating.

Maybe it is not the answer, however I have been having trouble on this site for about three nights including tonight. Since I was not on here ssunday through Wed I though maybe the server virus was the culprit. All the same, I am sure someone is working on a fix and I will bet he is sweating about the problem. Servers are strange creatures and take a lot of care and feeding and the manufacturer is never interested in customer needs. "You wanted that part when? Ha ha hah?" <BR>Lets just have fun and not worry about how slow it is!<BR>Mike

I also have problems posting replies. Sometimes it is not completely loading, it blocks, I have to close and start all over again. The second time it works and then I see my replie is there in double. <BR>Sometimes I post my reply without problemes and when I check, it is not there...

One of the most obvious examples of the "plus side" is the ability to retrieve one's own posts. Very useful at times, especially when used with Boolean ("and / "or" / "not"
searching.<BR><BR>In Art's case, it seems quite self evident. He can find his own posts under "alhussey", the email address derived from his first two initials and his last name: A. L. Hussey<BR><BR>Yet I understand why he has registered under the name "ahussey" because so many, too many people were incorrectly his name to be "Al".<BR><BR>There are a still sizable numner of people here who favor "standing up" for responsible posting by not having a problem with providing a name, and an e-mail address.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex Bickers<BR>[email protected]<BR>
