That makes no difference for me,,,
It really getting to the point the site is unusable when half the time you click on something and you get something like this
And then I come back to this thread and 4-5 guys have posted in the thread I've just had issues with,, This makes me think the sever is locking you out. Works for a while,, then you get the boot,,, have to wait 15-20 minutes,, then come back and it works again, ,That seams to be the scenario for me.

Server Error
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

Interesting as I have not had that issue at all since I made the change. Guess Ihave been very lucky andone of the 4-5 that gets in. Hope they get it worked out soon.

We should hold a fundraiser for new servers, so we dont have to keep using these old bandaged ones. Just a thought. P.S; how old are the servers?

RE: Site problems
With all due respect Mlke,, when my troubles are consistently as I described back on post 25,, this leads me to believe the servers have a built in overload program that drops members if they've been logged on too long,, Just a minute ago I had to go away from RCU for 10 minutes,, then I come back and everything work just fine again.. How this jives with what you're saying I don't know.
Hope it get fixed soon,, because it's a drag

RE: Site problems
Hey guys, I'll weigh in here. I programmed the entire RCU site EXCEPT the forums (Marc handled that). I ran this beeyotch for longer than I care to recall. Marc lived and breathed this stuff with me. The errors you see are software related and don't have anything to do with hardware. We had a clustered set of 5 front-end servers and dual database servers on the back to handle the load. Marc was a genius at this and he kept it running very well. ANYTIME you move software and simultaneously try to get your head around it and make changes, stuff happens no matter how good you are.
I just moved one of my sports sites from one server at Rackspace to the Cloud Servers at Rackspace. Guess what? Crap happened because the software on the new servers is NEWER and doesn't support some of the old code I wrote. Takes time to figure this out. Now, as a developer, I can tell you that COMMUNITY goes a long way. It's easy to throw stones and it is damned frustrating as a user, but if you really like it here, help them fix it by dutifully reporting the type and frequency of errors (like you did in this post). It helps TONS!! Now, if they don't respond, there's nothing you can do and if it were me, I'd go start my own or join another. But if they do respond, hang with them.

RE: Site problems
Thanks for the explination. I think that's what most of us want is to know that SOMEBODY is TRYING to take care of the problem. All in all, RCU is STILL the BEST .

RE: Site problems
I'm usually on here a couple of times a day. ( I'm retired) It has been TOTALLY spotty for me, one time it kicks me off, takes forever to get to a post. The last couple of days, I've not noticed any problems. I went to the tools on my browser & the compatibility thingy was checked. Go figure ! The biggest pain for me is to type out a post ( using two fingers) & hitting the "post button" & get "timed out". Oh well, if THAT'S the only problem I have, I don't really have any problems !!!!

RE: Site problems
True, in the grand scheme of things it a pretty petty problem to have, But when you type out a long response then forget to copy it and it goes poof,, you're less likely to type it all up again,, then the site suffers.
It just seams it's be going on way too long with the same, "give it time"/"we're working on it" responses,, very very frustrating

RE: Site problems
And as far as Compatibility view,,that just changes how the info is displayed on your browse (if needed),, nothing to do with downloading info from a server. When IE8 came out I had major issues with that on our Church Web site that I managed. Everyone who upgraded was complaining to me about jumbled text on the screen until they and I discovered "compatibility view",, We ended up rebuilding the site with up to date software because mine was out of date. These type issues is Why Bill Gates is so rich,, built in obsolescence,, new software comes out,, you're forced to buy it.
If these issues are what we're being told,, why are the site owners still nursing this dinosaur around,, upgrade already
I started collecting the error messages just for fun,, got a new one in the classifieds today,, o joy

RE: Site problems
p.s.
The chassifieds does this other thing to me sometimes when I'm trying to upload photos,,
I'll "browse" select the picture, it will put in the path text but when I hit the "add photo" button, the Path text goes poof,, It's like bangin your head against the wall
And of course there is this that I've gotten no answer to,, http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10932483/tm.htm

RE: Site problems
My problems are intermittant. What I have noticed is that on my wifes laptop, I have fewer problems and it runs just a little faster. (There are still issues, just fewer) I'm on my work laptop most of the time in my home office. I have to go through the firewalls at work which normally slows things down anyway since they check EVERYTHING for virus protection. It sometimes looks to me like there is a command timeout that occurs because of the firewall delay that may not be taken into consideration. When things go to hell here on my laptop, I can just switch to hers and it all seems fine. Just speculating here.
