I've been having problems logging on and posting with my home computer. I get messages like "Don't have permission" and sometimes the page won't load as if I lost connection. I think this is ISP number related because when I use any portable devices like i-phone, i-pad, never have any problems with the different ISP number than my home computer. Could someone have placed restrictions on my account that are tied to my ISP number?
Welcome to the club!! Many have been critical about these very topics for quite some time....
But the owners / powers that be, work to support their families and have many "other interests"... so they'll get to us eventually!
(sigh...)
Im having similar issues here as well... This site is ultra slow for some reason. It is by far is much slower than other forums that I visit. For some reason it doesn't let me go to the home page. Says
M.T.1, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Who Knows?
That happens to us all pretty much! We get the same message and sometimes it's like the site just freezes and goes away!?!?!
I guess we're suckers for the punishment.. we keep coming back!
I think last time it got this bad it was a server (or something like that) problem.... Sometimes it gets better, sometimes worse. It'll be fixed eventually, usually is....
Yeah, today it's been going into the twilight zone more than it's been on for me. Comes on, then try to access something and it times out and goes away for an hour or two. Been this way too much lately, IMO.
OK, thanks for all that. I now know it isn't my account here, everyone is having some issues. The thing that threw me was not even being able to get a page to load and timing out, but being able to load a page from another device that has a different ISP number.
i have been having similar problems,,and usually,I can get on okay,,but the last few days have been a hassle..Sometimes,,if i am logged on,,and go away from the puter,for some hours,and come back..it's frozen on me,,and it's easier to log out and back on a few minutes later,until last night..Logged off,,couldnt get back on,,so left it for an hour or two.. I get the same message..''lamin8r,you do not have permission....''etc,and I hit the home button,on that message,and I'm straight in...:confused::confused:,in fact,it happens regularly..and it has been slower than other sites I go to..:HMMM::HMMM:
And I changed my deodorant thinking it was the way I smelt so thanks guys for the reinsurance that all is well in my arm pits..:HMMM:
LOL, and all this time I thought it was just me with this issue.........:confused:Quote:

Brent sends the following:
I have been battling some unknown performance problems over the last couple of weeks...processes are getting into a funky state and consuming too many resources. I'm have spent many hors recently trying to solve the problem....if you could pass this along,and I'll continue to try and solve. I'm going to try and update PHP and MySQL as well....

Thanks for the update Bill! Figured Brent was working on the problem!!!!
Yep, now if we could just figure out whatQuote:

I think it's got something to do with the lift on the difractor valve!!!!
I think thats to much information....About 30 years ago while working for Reynolds Metals we had a computer geek there that tried to teach a bunch of us mantainence foreman how to read and right computer language:LOL::LOL::LOL:...I couldn't then and cant now:eek:...nor do I want to:D.
Can you let me know if there's change in performance as of right now? I made a change that is related to mail sending (you won't get mail at the moment from the site), but I'm seeing some problems that may be related to the sending of mail, so this might narrow down the problem.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Brent, for me the forum is screaming fast compared to what it has been. Topics come up quickly, and everything seems to be much, much quicker.
Well, it hasn't just stopped working like it usually does twice an hour! Not blazing fast but, better than the recent past!
It has been good for me for the last 2+ hours.
Then at 10:30pm central it crashed again for five minutes or so......
Brent,
Try turning off the links that come up at the top of the page. They are Like for facebook, facebook send, tweet, goggle +1 & Submit. Then see how it works. I know on Club Cobra, for me, I have to wait for those links to load at every page and some times it just times out. My guess is that it might be doing the same here. I am running a 32 bit computer with explorer 8 at home and a 64 bit with explorer 10 at work and they both act the same.
That was me making a change.Quote:

Glad to hear that it is working for you folks, but "hot rod surfer" can still log on, but no posting, no messages, no nothing! Found Brent's e-mail and sent him a note but I see that he has a lot going on so...
So I created #2 so I could get a message out to Bill...glad to hear that it wasn't my deodorant!
But I would like to get back to my original identity!
Updated your account just now, Hot Rod Surfer.
For those that want to know what goes on behind the scenes, it starts with something like this ;)

Thanks for fixing the place up Brent, works a ton better today!!!!
No problems here; mine's working as good as usual.
Maybe its just that Im new but does each and every post have to go through a Mod before it's posted? Makes it kind of hard to converse with others knowing it will be a day or so before they will even see the post? Or is this one of the issues that is being worked on? At first I thought it was just for posting up new threads but now I get the "will be posted after the mod" window pop up about half the time? Weird Stuff going on here...
We have an enormous amount of spam that gets posted to the forum on a daily basis, since there is only two or three of us (unpaid volunteers) taking care of these intrusions, and we do have full time jobs and family life afterwards, we have set up certain filters. Unfortunately, newbies are caught up in them, again more as a filter rule. Yet the lag time is usually less than 2-12 hours, so in the bigger scheme of things, it is not too much of an inconvenience until you build up enough posts to no longer need moderators assistance .Quote:

I too have a forum and there are several V Bulletin programs that are available through their web page to help sift out spammers. My forum is set up with the simple machines format and I activated one of these programs about 5 months ago. It basically looks the IP address over and determines if it has ever been a spammer or not. If so it puts it on a list. if its not sure it adds it to the list for your review and authorization or denial. If it is a good IP address it allows it to continue. Nice thing about this program is you can check a single list daily and delete 200 spammers at a time. Takes about 5 minutes a day now to clean out the list. It really just block out spammer registrations and recognizes authorized members. . I was looking at switching to V Bulletin and checked into the program so I know they have it as well. Its been some time ago and the name of their program escapes me. This is the page to the simple machine program:
http://www.simplemachines.org/commun...topic=452752.0 O get ZERO spam through this system and well worth the effort to get it.
I know how trying it can be and how much time it can suck up keeping a forum up and running smoothly. I'll just hang out and wait for things to get better. Thanks again for the reply.

And there you are! As the mods explaned above, due to the volume of spam recieved there is a "grace period" where you're posts have to get approved by them. Once they see you are "genuine", they'll turn you lose! Bear with them / us, we know it can be a bit annoying at times. But it's to protect us all.Quote:

What about the data stream and the bandwidth (much more than you can imagine, X3+ other forums all running on the same system and platform)Quote:

Might I suggest you clean out your browser and system cache, update your java and adobe software, and repatch your local system. Then reboot and check for further updates again. This problem may or may not be related to this forum and the software it is currently running on. Do what I suggest, and we'll find out.
Also, try to refrain from adding links in your posts for a while and see what transpires.

It looks like there many problems with the site software. I have ignored most of the "no permission" messages but now my photo file is full and I am unable to add any new pictures. The "advanced features" page says the photos will be deleted after one hour but many of my old pictures are still there and I am unable to load any new pictures. Now I get a black square with a line running across the middle but no new pictures can be added.
