Hi guys I know you already upgraded servers, but I am having trouble navigating the forums today. We have too many people online and the forums are crashing under their weight. Thanks keep up the good work.

I have been on the boards for about 4 hours this morning back & forth and I havent had any problems. Not sure what kind of problems you are experiencing.

The tech guys are on it. We know there are major slowdowns, today. Bear with us.

And don't forget to "Select all" and "Copy" in the text you're about to post.

That way, if your "Submit" runs into a phBB error, you can hit the back button and paste your message in and submit it, again.

Thanks,

That is strange Navy_Navy_Navy, I have been on all morning and part of this afternoon and have had no problems. But you guys are doing a stand up job. Thanks for the chance to let all of us express our opinions on the SBVFT issue.

This started yesterday under the weight of so many on line. I thought the DU had hacked the site.

It's intermittent slowdown... some people won't notice any difference, depending on where they are, ISP, etc. Others are having a very hard time off and on. Like pulling teeth for a few minutes and then it's running fast, again.

Those that want a faster server should make significant contributions to us and "then" ask us for a faster server. Don't you think? Laughing

Don't get me wrong Navy, this is definately a good problem. It means the swifites word is getting out and more people are paying attention. My only advice would be if the website continues to grow might be a good idea to pre-empt the growth with a stronger server to accomodate it.
