Forum connection Issues

[BobHelm]

Lee,
Over the past week I have often had the Forum return an error when going from, say New Posts to the Board Index.
I was a bit reluctant to say I was as I am using
Ubuntu 32 byte as an operating system
& FireFox 8 as a Browser.
However I thought that it might be useful for you to know.
I get a database access error, or just a completely plain screen, rather than any other connection type error.

I have not had a similar issue with any other web site, including a couple that are also Forums run on phpBB, without a similar happening..

It is not a constant problem, but is one that seems to 'come & go'. So when there is a problem, there is a problem, when not, there isn't....if you see what I mean...

Not sure Bob if I have the same problem but UM pages take forever to open. This has been occurring for about the last 2 weeks

I have the same problem....Udon Map is exstremely slow to open....sometimes it takes so long time so it looks like the server is down!

.............. I was as I am using Ubuntu 32 byte as an operating system...........

Must be those chopsticks, Bob.

Yes, recently I've experienced extremely slow opening and slow transition from topic to topic. UM is the only site where I've had this problem.

I'm on everyday.....Opera, windows 7, no issues.

[jacob6]

Very slow for me also..... seems ok early in the morning. All other sites work fine.

[GARYZX6R]

Slow at times and also getting logged out ,every day !

[747man]

Yes VERY Slow & Changing to Thai Script when changing topics......

[Dudde]

If you guys do a tracert (Run, type "cmd", type "tracert udonmap.com" you can see that the reason that udonmap is loading slow is mainly because bad routing with your ISP.

And Garyzx6r: If your getting logged out every day, have you checked the option "remember me"
Second: Are you running your browser in private or stealth mode?
Third Are you running any cleaning or optimizer programs? They like too clean your cashe and empty your cookies.

I knew it would be a mistake starting this thread....

My problem is specific & I have tried to give sufficient information to maybe give Lee a clue when looking for the issue.
In my case it is probably the operating system/browser combination that I am using having connection issues to the actual database.
It is not an issue with speed of loading as it either loads as quick as any other site, or does not load at all.

If you have issues other than mine, or even no issues at all, then it could be useful for Lee to know about them....but please give him some sort of chance by giving as much detail as possible & screen shots if appropriate. Otherwise it is just looking for a needle in a haystack...

I was having many delays, with various notices at the bottom reading about awaiting various ad surveys etc . I installed a neat little programme that enabled me to delete most of the troublesome ones,statcounter and adclick amongst them. Since then I haven't experienced any delay .www.ghostery.com

I get a database access error, or just a completely plain screen, rather than any other connection type error.

It may be reassuring to know that I've been having the dreaded blank page error also and like you it happens randomly. I haven't had any database issues though.

I remember there were similar issues before however I can't remember what I did to fix it. I've have a look in the error logs and send an email to the host. I'll keep you posted.

[BobHelm]

Just happened again... a couple of times in a row...

Maybe it is simply that somebody out there somewhere doesn't love you Bob???????
