Anyone else have trouble getting this site to connect?

Post by larryh »

I spent several hours today trying to get to a message I had received and the internet address simply refused to open. Yet what left of the Edison site opened immediately as did all other links.. I have always noticed a long delay in sending messages or loading opinions to threads but lately I simply can't get even on the site. Maybe its my computer, but if so it wouldn't explain why most everything else is working fine?

I have also noticed an increase in connection issues (HTTP 503 errors) over the last month or so. Today has been particularly bad. The hosting server may be getting bombarded with traffic. Note all the spam posts.

There seems to be a problem with the server. We are also getting hit hard with "spam" of all types (some posting as a member). Not wanting to mention names and I know "Lang" has tried to bring this the membership's attention already.....try to avoid posting your email and or phone number on this (or any) forum. You are just looking for problems. Once your computer gets corrupted....it can affect any and all others who happen to have contact info on your computer. As "Lang" suggested....pass this type of personal info though our PM avenue.

Food for thought.... ;).
