I've been really slow at times or cannot connect. Keith davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5899 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 4:17 pm:    I'm having problems now, and this morning I pretty much couldn't get to the site at all. I didn't try it during the afternoon. In fact, this is my third try on this post. 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 1285 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 4:36 pm:    The Alembic site is always painfully slow for me, so I haven't really noticed any difference. I usually click to post, surf on another tab for a bit, then check back to see if the page has loaded yet.. :P John Happy New Year, everyone! (headed out to "Gig Hell, Wallet Heaven" in a bit) davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5900 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 4:42 pm:    John; posting is always slow, which a think is related to the software we use, but I'm having problems just getting pages to load. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2811 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 6:01 pm:    Dave: I've had problems today also. I got an error message saying the server was down. Bill, tgo davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5903 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 6:14 pm:    Thanks Bill! bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1852 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Monday, December 31, 2007 - 8:26 pm:    As far as posting speed goes, it was very quick after the last time Mica did some database maintenance. It must have been either a restoration or a re-indexing. I suspect there is something wrong in the basic architecture of the boards package that the database gets slow so quickly. I did get a couple of "server down" situations today, but nothing that lasted more than 5-10 minutes. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5904 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Tuesday, January 01, 2008 - 7:57 am:    So far, it seems to be much better today; of course, it is a completely different year today than yesterday. olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1670 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Tuesday, January 01, 2008 - 9:18 am:    Maybe it stared it's New Year Eve's "celebration" a little early yesterday. white_cloud Intermediate Member Username: white_cloud Post Number: 159 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 5:14 am:    Im still having problems connecting guys, took many attenpts today davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5920 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 8:35 am:    I'm just now logging on and having no problems. Were you able to get to other web sites with no problems? speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 242 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 9:59 am:    Dave, I also tried to enter the site about seven or eight hours ago, and it was just impossible to get into the club... i was wondering if you received my member fee in time ;-) keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 926 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, January 03, 2008 - 11:06 am:    I could not get into the Alembic site first this this morning.

Y2K syndrome deja vu? LOL! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5922 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 4:39 am:    Christian; try resending the member fee. Also, sometimes raising the level of the fee helps. speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 243 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 5:07 am:    okay... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5926 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 5:31 am:    Christian; thanks for resending the fee! You should be able to log in ok now; just as soon as I get back from the bank an unexpected trip in to town. speicky Advanced Member Username: speicky Post Number: 244 Registered: 3-2005 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 6:05 am:    WOW ! It works, I also have access to previously hidden topics such as... umm... well, fellow members, better pay the fees also to get access to ALL the cool features of the club, LOL. white_cloud Intermediate Member Username: white_cloud Post Number: 165 Registered: 11-2007 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 6:36 am:    Hey, I send Dave a cheque for $100 every time I want to start a new thread...I havent encountered a single glitch yet!! olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 1673 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 6:39 am:    I send cash. Of course my Monoploy Game is almost empty now. LOL mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5022 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 10:33 am:    Really bad weather here, lots and lots of rain. I expect there to be some periodic server problems for the rest of the day. lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 2825 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 11:24 am:    Hey Dave, if I send you $100, can I get the password for the section with the nude instruments? Bill, tgo P.S. Intermittent problems getting on the site this morning. We're getting a big storm out here right now. Of course one must keep in perspective that a California "big storm" may not be all that big by other geographical standards. (In N.Y. people don't go this nuts unless there's at least 3' of snow). 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 1288 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 11:41 am:    "Really bad weather here, lots and lots of rain. I expect there to be some periodic server problems for the rest of the day." In Indiana we sometimes have to move the servers indoors due to inclement weather... ;) John mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 5024 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 12:05 pm:    But what do you do in clement weather? 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 1290 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, January 04, 2008 - 12:41 pm:    Move 'em back outside. Duh! bsee Senior Member Username: bsee Post Number: 1854 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Saturday, January 05, 2008 - 1:11 pm:    Clement weather takes care of itself, doesn't it? Was a tough day for the server, though. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5933 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 05, 2008 - 4:45 pm:    Yeah!!!! We're back!!! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5934 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 05, 2008 - 4:53 pm:    I hope everyone out there in Northern California is ok. I read a lot of reports about high winds, lots of rain, lots of snow in the higher elevations, flooded streets, flying trash cans, power outages, and downed internets. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 5935 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, January 05, 2008 - 5:03 pm:    Bill; due to internet security issues, keys to the innermost sanctums are passed in person only. 811952 Senior Member Username: 811952 Post Number: 1291 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, January 05, 2008 - 5:47 pm:    Hope you folks are all okay, even the ones nowhere near the storm, just on principle. Seriously, my advrider.com buddies tell me the mountains are pure treachery this weekend. Be careful everybody... John
