SluSignGuy Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I am working on trying to address the slowness of Billikens.com. Apologies for this inconvenience (was not expecting late September to be a high bandwidth day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance mode (I think) was removed when we moved from version 3.x to 4.x of the board...I have asked support if there is another way to enable a similar feature...

Admin Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 To reduce the demand on the server, I am restricting forum access to registered users. This likely doesn't mean much to those reading this (since to read it, you have to be registered). But there are 100s of "guests" trying to access Billikens.com right now.

SluSignGuy Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Well...125 people registered yesterday....Thats a record. We are currently on a temporarily upgraded server (thanks web host)! But we will likely have to be move again sometime in the next couple of days. In the process of trying to get the forum to run faster, I upgraded a PHP setting. In doing so, I broke a 10 year old script that posted latest topics on the front page. This may not get fixed for a few days as work is pretty busy right now. Apologies. Thanks for your patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 For a small update, we are now back on a slightly slower server than we had been for the last week (we temporarily upgraded for the spike in traffic). It is very likely we will move to another server over the weekend. So there may be some downtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 As we all know computers and servers are temperamental and have behavioral quirks. You are doing all you can to solve the issue, that is all we can ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be taking some time for the DNS to be updating on your computer - but it is odd you can access the message board but not the home page. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
