By the way, Tech Teddy just put in a "FireFox" browser in my computer and it works faster for me. I was having some problems with AOL--like a page in the background that would not go away and that GUMMED UP AOL that he had to come over and 'fix' for me as i could not answer my e-mail when aol screws up on me which is about 3X a day. Anyway, I have not been that active on the board because of problems with the computer/internet connection and he said he could fix some by the firefox but the other I have to change my e-mail address so I don't use aol anymore.
Anyway, at this point, the board seems to be working faster BUT I CAN'T see your cat photo with lime head now. Does it show for you?

Yes it shows for me. By it not showing for you, that probably means your connection is slow, so it loads the pics last or not at all.
Damn, spoke to soon--I'm coming back to edit--after I posted this originally (top paragraph), it took over a minute for it to post to the board. Sheeeeeshhh. Makes no sense.

There is just a symbol where your logo used to be on this browser. I can see Nancy's photo though. The connection got faster with this new browser he put in. It's always hard for me to tell if the board is running slow or if it's my internet connection

Don't know why FireFox won't display my avatar, it's stored here. Just must be a quirk or something. My kitty is still bedazzled with the lime helmet.

Well, the board is running faster for me with this browser.

It's fine now for me too.
Firefox kind of scrubs all the crap out that slows down most browsers so makes surfing faster. A lot of people swear by it, so it looks like it's helping you too.

For a while, I DISABLED the ability for new people to sign up. I wonder if that helped the board go faster.
I just turned the new sign up function back on to see if that has any affect on slowness.

The board has been PAINFULLY slow for over two days. It's sooooo odd that it comes and goes like this.

Ya, it does come and go. It was working fast for me with this new browser TT put in and then a few times it would really lag with the PMs.

Yeah, slow for me too... I hit "post" 3 times by accident in that other thread. Did you try calling your host? I wonder if they're having issues w/ the server you are on.

We are still trying to figure out the problem. It's a really WEIRD one. For example, although you don't see it, there is an error message at the bottom of my board and that message seems to be associated with the off and on slowness. We've gone to the tech help section that the soft ware developers of this board have and have followed all their advice as to what to do but it did not totally resolve the problem. But then again, for private help from the soft ware developer directly, it's like $75/hour to call them in directly.
Their free tech help mentioned something about Go-Daddy (which is my server?) being part of the problem but did not elaborate much in that regard.
OK--my domain has an IP number (that Go-Daddy gives?) and there are many other sites sharing the same IP number.
cosmo, do you think that would have anything do do with it. Like could the other sites on same IP number have a lot of activity when my board has activity at same TIME.
I don't know shit from Shinola about this type of thing. So, I'll also ask Tech Teddy. But do you think it's a thing where total band width is something distributed to all the domains that have same IP # as my domain?

Correct me if I'm wrong Cosmo....
Miss J, does GoDaddy host your website/domain on THEIR servers or is godaddy just where your bought your domain name? It could be either or both ways. TT could tell you.
If they host the servers that house this website, and you don't have DEDICATED servers (you likely share server space with other domains) then there may be bandwidth issues on the other domains/websites that affect your domain/website's speed. Or there may simply be (hardware/software) problems with the servers housing your domain (website). Or your ISP may be shorting you bandwidth (speed). Would take TT to tell you all of that and require some time investigating for him to find out the details probably.
I think you said TT checked the server logs and there were no problems or obvious errors. Sometimes ISPs (internet service provider) who host domain websites won't give you the info on the servers that house a website (domain) and others give you loads of info. Hard to say without knowing if your website is served up on godaddy's servers or if they are off site (say with TT or someplace else).

I asked him. He said GoDaddy is where the domain name is from and my website is hosted by them and a lot of other websites with domain share the same IP #. Since I told him it was a free board and it was not meant to be big, he got the economy package deal for me. He said I could upgrade with regard to new software that the soft ware developer has for this kind of message board but my board would have to be off line for some time because stuff can f*** up during upgrades. He would do the upgrading for me if I wanted that but told me there are limits to having a free board. I think he also said something like it would run faster if not so many lurkers viewed it or if I made part of it not public--like only members could read the whole of it. Something like that.

Okay, now it makes sense. That entire description (sharing IP) would make sense why it can be slower at some times than others. If the other sites are really busy or have a lot of people viewing, it can slow your site down.
I would think you could upgrade your bandwidth or stop sharing IP without having to upgrade the board, though. But, I'm not sure. Just a guess.
At least there's an explanation and it makes more sense to me now.

Well, it would be unusual if a company like godaddy (who know what they are doing in the registration and hosting department) put your site on a slow server - like with some guy trading video downloads and sucking up the bandwidth... that's what I was thinking was possibly a problem. However, they wouldn't do that. I dont know what their pricing model is like or if you can get faster response with a different level of service, semi-dedicated server space, etc... or you can switch to another host but the problem might not go away.
Some message boards have a kind of "cache" which can get clogged up (just like your browser's cache) with a ton of crapola... TT might have already cleared this out... or maybe your board does not have this. But, if you do - that would definitely cause slowness. See what he thinks. The most common php boards (like MMH... I think) have a cache that can be cleared to improve performance. Also, the database might not be handling queries that well, as it has gotten as big as it has now that it is a year old. YAF might be good software for 50 users posting once a week...maybe not so much for the current traffic, bc it doesn't really query the database in an efficient way...(all hypotheses on my part, but that's just what I've seen in this type of field. I never worked directly w/ web software like this, but I have been around a number of implementations w/ horrendous slowness and database issues at go-live - and btw, it's NEVER easy to track - even in companies with CIOs leading an army of techies...) There are a lot of thoughts I have, but it's hard to say w/o seeing YAF up close. It sounds like your guy knows this inside and out already though.

wow, cosmo, you are conversant in this stuff.
One of the teckies at YAF said; 'godaddy is cracking down' and neither me nor my tech guy could figure out want that meant--like cracking down on what?
Now I know TT often tells people to "clear their cache" when they are having problems. I'll ask him I I have a cache on here. I think the growth of the board has contributed to it in some way. So, I turned new member sign up off but still hard to tell what effect that had.
I've just found that recently, it is working better much more of the time when it is not and I do think sharing an IP with a lot of other sites is now contributing to some occasional slowness.
Another weird thing I have found is that I make no efforts to use any of that search optimimal stuff SEO and google sometimes lists my site near top of list on many searches.

Yeah, there are a few of different ideas I thought of. I was never a techie, but I had to work with them, so I kind of know some things (enough to know how to talk to them, but not often how to actually fix things). I'll send you a PM & you can see what you think.
