Curiously I posted to a new woodie, welcoming to the site and I have been getting welcoming replies.
I am sure in the past I used to have my web page listed in the members list but looking today its not there.
Will this listing become available.
(I cannot remember my own webpage url and I was hoping to find it the above way?:D )
The details are still there if you look at your profile. But to help you here it is. " http://homepages.tesco.net/john.jt " :DQuote:

Please pm me how?
Hi Neil and co. I clicked on the link to claw hamma's blackwood table WIP from my home email account (about 9:00 pm) and it took a loooong time to load, I closed it and clicked again (sometimes helps:?) I left it "waiting" and went and watched Grand Designs....in that time it had loaded, I also tried the woodwork forum main page from my favourites but that was also slow. I tried a few other fav websites for comparison, no probs. Apart from that it hasn't been to bad.:2tsup:

Good morning, I speak little and bad English, I do not understand why my thread was removed.https://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/olive-walnut-130768/
Thank you for your patience.

Hey guys,
been having a bad time with the site today, pages taking ages to load.
Tried IE7 and Firefox 3.6.1.3 with the same results.
Have attached a http log so you can see where the hold ups are.
Hi Neil,
This isn't a technical report, merely some obervations, so please treat it as it pleases you. I've been having varied success, but mostly that's been down to another machine with a much more aggressive wireless card that is sitting right next to the router. When that machine is offline, the forum site is pretty snappy - at least from this old creaker that is at a much greater distance from the router and has a wireless adapter one or two generations before the "n" card in the wife's machine.
Browser seems to make a difference sometimes with the loading of final elements of pages - but it may also be an ISP (Optusnet) problem. ADSL would be nice but we are not allowed to have it as we are on Optus (Telstra don't allow Optus access to them on the local exchange) - we would have to change over to Telstra and we're not doing that. I use Opera and am just moving over to Omniweb as Opera 's javascript-related crashes are too frequent (Opera have abandoned the PowerPC/OS X version so it is effectively dead meat). Recent Firefox versions (>3.0) are too slow in my experience on PPC machines, and I avoid Safari like the plague. Google don't do a version of Chrome for PPC/OS X at all - never have, never will.
At the moment forum access, including editing pages, is pretty good :). Much better than on the previous server - subjective, I know, but the subjectivity of the experience is part of the whole deal.
Cheers,
Alex.
Hi, it all seems ok up here....then again, after a few reds, everything loooks a lot better!!:D
Good work, you blokes, :2tsup:

Hi Neil , somehow there are 2 posts one after the other one dodgy one good . Cheers MM
Things went very slow for me last night just after 9:30pm EST, several pages timed out & a refresh took a long time to restore them, all came good again after about 15 mins.
Still have plenty of spam appearing - US green card stuff etc
Please explain. Spam on the board? Or emails?
BTW. Wher ya bin?:D
G'day ,
Spam appearing on site page (U.S. green slips). when i try to log off some other U.S. sight comes up for jobs. When i do log off I get some site to meet girls.
Have been around though trying to sell our businesses here so we can move back closer to friends and family. Looking forward to being back soon.
regards,
Bruce.
,
On my screen I have at the top your "panel" requesting help with server etc.
then under that I have a "panel" for Carrols woodwork stuff
then under that panel is another blank panel (same size as the ones above) and that is where the spammy stuff is appearing.
Below that panel is the standard user/member entries.
Bruce.
Sounds like your browser is being hijacked.Quote:

Hi Neil,
Thanks for your note about spammers infilitratng emails and their sending out of multiple emails, probably with viruses from address books. I have been in touch with my Postmaster, Big Pond and they advise as follows:-
"We are experiencing issues delivering emails to Yahoo due to Yahoo's anti-spam program. Yahoo is currently rate limiting connections, although this is good for blocking spam,, it is also blocking many legitimate emails from larger ISP's like ourselves. We are working hard to resolve the issue and expect to have a solution in place shortly. As we do not keep copies of sent email, if you need to readdress it, simply forward it to the correct address from your own sent items folder". I have deleted my whole address book and kept a hard copy for future use. Regards, john m.
I have been sent an e-mail with a link to a reply to a quetion I posted.
Googel reprts www.woodforums.com cannot be found.
regards

That's probably because the correct address isQuote:

If it does, it isn't spam it is Google Ads and these help keep these forums running. You will neversee an ads for a site as these are totally banned, there shouldn't be ads for anything that isn't relevant to the subject being discussed in the thread you are currently in.
As Cliff said it may well be malware in your computer. Whatever it is it isn't coming from this site. The spammers we have are mostly robotic and trying to post their unwanted garbage in threads and posts. They are also mostly under control. Thanks to some sneaky programming and a brilliant, ever-watchful team of moderators and administrators.
Cheers - Neil :U
I have had no problems with the forum since the change; everything working fine here.:2tsup:
I don't think we have that running yet but will check later.Quote:

There's been a couple of occassions where the page just hasn't load; and other pages loaded fine. But when I say a couple, I mean one this evening, and 2 over the last week or so.
Not very specific, but ...
otherwise all good.
I was dropped, at least on logging in it refused me, saying I wasn't registered. I had been logged on yesterday, so something happened in the interim. Just re-registered and all seems OK now.

This may have been already reported - it may not be related......
Tried to update my signature - error message - "BB code URL not allowed". Tried deleting and retyping web address - same prob........
Thanks i really enjoy the forums, and apreciate your efforts . use firefox and works fine :2tsup: cheers Bob
Speed appears to be good and no slow loading pages - only strange thing that has started is that on quite a few occasions when going from one screen to another or clicking on 'View First Unread" the page appears to "jump" once and then presents as normal.
Regards,
Bob
I have just tried 3 times to gain access to the forum , and got a response like "the server is busy , try later".
I eventually got through.

Thanks, I saw the same error! Load was high for approx 5 minutes, i'm not sure why right now though.Quote:

SoftLayer who host the new server have been doing maintainable for the last week on their servers out of Dallas, which is where ours are located. To date this hasn't been a problem to us but have a feeling this may have been what happened tonight.
I keep getting notices of maintainable work and schedules from them but no one seems to be able to make heads or tails of them. Another supposed to happen tomorrow but no idea when or even if it will affect us.
Whatever tonight's short outage was it wasn't confined to us. There were a number of international sites also down at the same time.
Cheers - Neil :roll:
