HELP WANTED FROM MEMBERS - with forum speed problem

Sorry for the delay Steven, I was called for dinner. Yeah I think your right, the upload did seem to take longer than usual and I suspect it was more like a time-out that caused the "Token Error', even though, I did forget to reduce the size of the pics. Once the pics were reduced in size they uploaded quite quickly but I didn't record the time taken.

- location you're uploading pics?
This may be a dumb answer but I'm in Somers, Victoria

- Connection speed (ISP plan)
@ 9.42pm, 15_1_2011: Download = 2816 Kbps, Upload 390 Kbps
My provider is Peopletelecom.com.au, I use a Belkin ADSL 2 modem.

- Time of day the error appeared
About 10.00pm

- OS
MS Windows XP, Ver # 2002, Service Pack 3

- Browser
IE Ver # 8.0.6001.18707IC

The pics were uploaded by using the attachments button in the advanced reply window, they were:

DSC02423: 2,002 KB, 3264 x 2448 px reduced to 160 Kb, 800 x 600 px (using MS Picture Manager)

DSC02419: 2,872 KB, 3264 x 2448 px reduced to 231 Kb, 511 x 800 px (using MS Picture Manager)

DSC02406: 2,375 KB, 3264 x 2448 px reduced to 194 Kb, 800 x 600 px (using MS Picture Manager)

DSC02400: 2,947 KB, 2448 x 3264 px reduced to 316 Kb, 600 x 800 px (using MS Picture Manager)

I don't think the pics were the culprit but I can email them to you if you think necessary. Hope this helps :-


Can you send me a copy of the file your having trouble with? [email protected]

It would also be helpful if you could include some general info like;'

- location you're uploading pics?
- Connection speed (ISP plan)
- Time of day the error appeared
- OS
- Browser

... and anything else you think could be helpful.

thanks

From choosing "Submit Reply" to the post actually appearing was over 1 minute, closer to 1:30sec . No error occured but it did take a long time. There were five pictures and they uploaded quickly.

I think I might know what your problem is.... :think:

Just a guess. :D

All good for me since the 27th Dec-20Jan, I'm in the back blocks of Asia on wifi and all things considered its just fine. :2tsup:

Up and down when I have been on during the day sorry didn't keep times etc even Pm's were slow to load etc. Then as in this thread and others our Names are in RED :?

Subscribed threads still coming in at 6/6.30pm I have been into the User area and can't locate anything to alter that.

10:00 PM -ish I noticed that the usernames are now in various very bright colours (which I personally don't like), so I tried all the skins, searched for an announcement of a change, bore in mind the recent problems and request for reports so tacked onto this thread.

Cheers,
Andrew

I've noticed this too- Not a big deal as far as I'm concerned, but probably worth mentioning...

Also I just noticed this
Welcome, Eldanos of KDM.

Your PM box is 100% full.


AfAIK It wasn't 'full' last time I looked and I haven't received a PM in ages... (So cold and lonely on my end :wink:) Something might have changed recently that i didn't notice though- Or maybe it was always like that- Where am I and what day is it?:D

Maybe the amount of saved messages dropped and I didn't noticed- Anyway problem solved, my bad....

Ok one more...

About 10 to 20 seconds.
