What's up with the forum?

Same here Don, like the others I just go to another site for awhile then come back.

The short answer is resource contention. Your PC sends out a request and the server(s) (where CHR resides) is/are not able to respond within the timing parameters determined by your PC. Now you can increase those timing parameters, but I wouldn’t.

There are multiple variables that can impact this – most of which you cannot control as once a requests leaves your PC you really have no control on the route that the message takes to get to the server. Most often, the routers that control the flow across the Internet use an algorithm derived from a process called OSPS (Open Shortest Path First) to establish a “path” between your PC and the resource you are accessing. This path remains “intact” as long as you have an active session and there is no traffic that is prioritized higher than you on the Internet that needs to acquire bandwidth. Pretty fantastic really, to think our NZ friends enjoy the same response time as those of us in the States when accessing CHR.

The major difference between CHR and the really big “Server Farms” is size and number of big pipes that touch the Internet – thus allowing multiple, simultaneous paths to be established and greatly reducing the likelihood of timing out. Send CHR a bunch-o-money and we too can have the big fast pipes!

It’s also possible that the actual server is down, but such shouldn’t be occurring too often as it is monitored and in most instances will automatically failover or worst case, reboot…

Yep Glenn, that was exactly the explanation I was going to give! Sounds like you understand these darned computers.

Been happening to me for the last 3 months, I just go elsewhere for a while.

Well said, Don - I never knew about your moniker. Speaks volumes to your character and persistence. I always enjoy your posts and will even more so now, knowing a bit of the history here!

Okay - Sys Admin, R U Listening??

[mrmustang]

The moderator (singular these days) is attempting to keep his business afloat and his employees, employed at the moment. Things are not looking good due to the current economy..........For the record,I do not have access to the server(s).


I did send the following off to Brent just a few minutes ago.....


It really does need a post from the owner:

Bill,
I thank you for all the hard work. I am an Admin for a football related site. I am trying as hard as I can to make place as great as this site. (Kiss up time)This site has some of the most laid back, willing to help out, as good as members as I have found on the net. they remind me of some of the guys that my dad would hang out with when I was a young un. With such a great cast of characters, I don't want to see anyone frustrated and think they need to go else where. I would hope that Admin wants us to give as much of a description as they can to help find the issues. I know that is how I try to roll. If I offer too, well sorry and I won't.

Very true words there

[stovens]

Thanks guys for looking into this, I've not been able to connect either recently, but know computers well enough to feel your pain and frustration, I too really appreciate you and this site. Steve.

Brent and Bill,
Having the occasional blip that sometimes occurs on this forum is better than the alternative, no site at all! Thank you for this site and all the hard work put into it.

Jack.

[RestoRod]

Strange, I haven't had any trouble with the site. I really appreciate all the work Brent and Bill do to keep this place open and available to us.
