The website is lagging very badly and I'm on a 10mbps FiOS connection. Anyone else having issues?

Same for me with the same fast connection.

Very slow for me as well. Couldn't get on earlier.

me too - and I have broadband.

same here

it's sporadic...up, then down...up, then down....

Well I have dial-up, but I never had that kind of problem before. I have a question: What happens with all those old replies, there are well over 100,000 replies. Could this be the problem?

yep, very slow for me, too...I have cable modem....sometimes the page won't load at all

Uhm. Same for me.. I was gonna post a thread, but ironicly, it wouldnt let me make one. =][

I have Broadband and it is moving REALLY slow - especially on pages that have pics.

I have broadband too, but it's slow as well. Right now it's going faster, though.

i have broadband/high speed and i too have been having problems for the last 3 days :huh:

What website are yout talking about? Is it this one, ETRAINSTATION?

I have cable internet and my computer has a gig of RAM and a Dual Core processor and the site is horribly slow for me too...and at times the pages won't even load at all.

Can someone ask an ADMIN whats wrong?

That's what I'm wondering about. I'm not having any trouble at the moment.

I haven't had any trouble with this site tonight.

Okay, I jinxed myself. It's now moving sloooow and sometimes totally bumps me out of the site.

Yeah, it's an off and on problem with this website... better tonight. I have comcast and a fairly new computer. It must be this server. I usually can tell it's the website by opening up other web pages with no problem.

It was definitely much slower a few hours ago. But now its running pretty fast.

This seems to be an ongoing problem...as well as the search not working. If those running the site need technical assistance I could probably help out. I've been building web sites since 1999. I was even a webmaster for one of Howard Dean's presidential campaign regional office website, which I put up and updated.

it's actually faster now than it has been in ages....

thanks LC. mcornelio is the resident techie on here but he's been a little busy lately. if the problems continue to persist and MC is still out of commission, i might take you up on your offer sometime. :)

I'm not looking to take over anyone's job...just offering to help out if there is a need. How much anyone can do really depends on the server set up. Based on the google ads I'm assuming that the forum is a free remotely hosted forum that the domain name is pointing towards. IF, at any point, you guys want to have complete control over things I know how to install forums, content management scripts and just about any php script. So if there is ever the feeling that the E-Train has outgrown the current set up, don't hesitate to let me know and I could really help out with that. I'm not sure if cornelio knows how to install php or deal with mysql...but it's not too difficult. If he doesn't I'm sure I could teach him easily enough. Just let me know if you ever need or want my assistance.

yes, it does currently run from a free remotely hosted forum. the agreement the mods and i had was to upgrade to non-free service once we take up 70% of the memory allocated to us. we're currently closing in on 50%.

no, nobody's taking over someone else's job. just that sometimes, there are small tweaks we need to make on the site and we can't reach MC to do it so it's either I do it (but i'm really no expert. i mostly make it up as i go along, hehe) so we'd love to have someone in the know help us along when the changes can't wait. so if you're ever around during those kinda times and no one else of the mods are around, it's good to know we can come to you for help. :)

Okies...I'll help any way I can. When you make the move are you going to continue with the same host only get a paid plan or are you going to completely migrate elsewhere? If it's going to be elsewhere, that's where I could offer a lot of help. I can install php forums, content management systems and have them up and running very quickly using mysql. So if that's the route you plan on taking and you need to find a good host that will fit the bill and someone to set it all up just give me a yell.

It is acting up again

Just letting you all know

PAINFULLY S L O W! :thud:

I had trouble last night and some pages still won't open this morning.

All morning long it is taking a loooong time for everything to load on the E-Train.....

I am not having a problem with any other web-site.

Is it just me, or is anyone else having this same problem?

Not just you, moving pretty slow for me too.

It has been very slow since late last night. I switched to FoxFire and it is a little better but still loads slowly.

I always use Firefox, and it's been extremely slow for me all morning

Extremely slow for me too.....only on e-train

Very frustrating!

It took me about 2 minutes to open this page - Etrain practically does not work for me today.

Definately not just you. Like someone posted above, it got started loading slow last nigh & is still loading at a snails pace. And, yes, this is the only site I am having a slow loading issue on. :dammit:

Slow for me too

...and I thought it was ME!

emmy

Verrry slow for me today. Almost non-working. I went to text browser and still very slow. I can vote multiple times on other sites while waiting to load.
