Is anyone else having trouble either getting the site to start with or when you do get in everything running extremely slow ?
Sometimes it dosent come up ,sometimes brings up a database error
If you do get in when you click on a thread or link it takes up to 2 minutes for it to emerge or not at all

Andrew, today it DOES seem slow... I also had to take it down this afternoon when the database errors started showing up (that's fixed now). I haven't been online for a couple of days, so I'll monitor this status closely from hereon in.

Thanks Geoff
I really do take my hat off to you and your team
Maintaining this site must take up huge amounts of time and money
I am sure all of your members are very grateful of the effort -It goes without saying it is a great site

Just to let you know, I have a lot of trouble accessing the site. I must say I've only tried via class five and one other(havent tried tortuga for a while)
The box comes up saying the link is broken.I have tried probably 20 times yesterday. This morning it seems very slow, taking a long time to load a thread. I dont think these problems are at my end, (but I dont know)
Thanks.

Lynn,

It has been slow this weekend, I don't know why... but don't try to use the old tortuga link anyway - they moved us. Try http://orbit.dnsrouter.com/~mlu/forums/ and see if that does any better for you, if mapleleafup.org doesn't work for you. I'm trying to get this whole lot shifted over, but there's a substantial amount of time and money involved... I'll keep you posted. One thing's for sure - their DNS server is buggered, either by itself or through repeated denial-of-service attacks. They don't seem to want to do anything about it, so it's going to be their loss when I go.
