Fodors: How much longer??
 

These system problems, or upgrades, or whatever the heck they are are getting old.. Most of the time I either can't access this site at all, or I can't log in, or I can log in but not post. Now today it's kicking me out of the forum section right in the middle of reading message threads.

Whether they're hosting problems or programming problems, I hope you get them sorted out soon.

Is it Fodors. I have none of the problems you mention. LMF

I have not had a single problem this evening. It is zipping along for me.

I couldn't get access for 45 minutes Saturday. I thought it was just my server.

I've been having problems for days also.

Things will be going along well then WHAMMO!

Server Error.

Server Error.

Tons of problems over the last several days. Lots of apperances by that little blue umbrella - sometimes multiple times on the same page. Can't post, posts appear and disappear. And then I was getting no US board - only euro posts on both euro and US boards (had to restart the computer for that one).

Just assumed it was non-business as normal.

I really haven't had any problems over the past few days. When the blue umbrella pops up, I just hit the "refresh" button. ((b))

I'm on here a LOT as most of you can tell. I haven't had a single one of the problems you mention except that every now and then when I click on a post, I get that umbrella sign. I click again and the post comes up. No biggie. I'd suspect it must be your server, not Fodors.

OK, why am I not getting an umbrella!?
Is it that Troll, did she it?
Someone on Other Topics was complaining about the "format" ..

I've gotten a few server errors, a few umbrellas but no triple 7's on the payline yet. By the way, a server error is on the Fodors side. Most of us are on PCs, not servers (servers act as hosts for applications that "serve" a number of users across a network, hence the name). Geek trivia, can't help myself.

I've had no problem.

I have had problems! I was hoping after the "maintenance" that problems would be eliminated, but I have still had problems. Yes, that blue umbrella pops up from time to time.

I get the blue umbrella at times, but as Patrick said, I just re-click and it's gone.

I've had a few umbrellas or slightly slowed loads, but that's all. Have you tried clearing your cache?

From a "techie's" point of view this looks like a problem on the Fodor's side, not the user's side.

I've had on and off problems for a week or so and figured they were having server issues at Fodor. It may be their server, code, etc.

Perhaps they should look into going with a PHP board instead of html/java based. It would be MUCH faster loading and posting.

It may be their server, code, etc. Clearing the cache probably won't help with any of those problems. They may need more bandwidth, as well. I've already tried to post this twice and it timed out. I have to hit my 'back' button to get back to the post, in order not to lose the entire post and try to repost.

I had many (old) problems yesterday, including having loooong posts disappear into thin cyberspace. Today things seem to be better, but it seemed things were worse for me after the weekend "maintenance."

I never have problems on here...fortunately!

I find this site to be slow responding over half the time.

There have been several times in the last week where I haven't been able to get a response at all, or I get a message from the Fodor's server that they cann't display the page.

I forgot to mention...

That is from more than one computer and more then one ISP and speed of connection.
