Site Slowdown or Problems - Post Here

[ila]

The site has recently been slowing down, improperly displaying pages, giving me server errors, and logging me out. I want to try to trace the problem. To do this I need to track times and dates that members experience the same thing. When any member encounters an unusual problem on the site please post the date and time GMT. To find the GMT scroll down to the bottom of any page and it will give local time and the difference to GMT. Please do the arithmetic and give the correct time GMT. Hopefully all the problems can then be resolved.

I'll start off with the first problem encountered

Hi there.

The problem of loging some people out is one with the software, i am a member of another forum and the same thing happens with them, the solution is to use the remember me box and you don't get logged out.

This site will automatically logout users after 15 minutes of inactivity. The problem I was referring to was not due to inactivity. There were other members that experienced the same thing as I did at the same time. Rather the problem is possibly at the host, with the software, or some other cause such as a malicious attack on the ISP.

For some reason although I am logged in it will not let me view images. All the images come up with question marks which when I click on them direct me to the login page and tells me to login.

Not really a great problem but this occurred yesterday (11 March) and again today (12 March). Pix attached to try and clarify my blithering (sorry about the quality but ya do what ya can with what ya got).

So I log in as usual. I select a sub-forum (i.e. Freebies) and scroll down, find a thread I'm interested in, and click on the most recent post. When I've read the most recent post/posts I then click the browser's Back button to return to Freebies but the screen stays as is. Clicking the Back button again will get me back to Freebies.

First pic shows the browser history before clicking the Back button. Second pic shows the history after clicking the Back button once. Note that "Current page" now reads "AddThis utility frame".

Does any of this make sense? I don't know how to explain it in tech-talk.
Not a big deal but a definite change in the site workings.

I had the same problem yesterday, but so far I have not encoutered this today. The problem seems to be resolved.

I just logged in again and I'm still getting the problem.

Had been logged in for 20 minutes or so, just checking all the recent posts. I then tried to submit a post of my own and was told that I was not logged in and directed to do so, which I did successfully.
