I'll write up exactly what has happened here - it's like a perfect storm of sorts. All we need now is an earthquake to top it off!

Yes, I just knocked on wood so the evil sprits couldn't hear me say that.

"Murphy's Law", "When it rains, it pours", "Just one more patch will fix it...", etc...isn't that typically the way it goes :)? Great job Wayne, my withdrawal symptoms are slowly fading away!

I too buy most of my parts from this site and I've noticed that the header links/tabs at the top of the page (Welcome, New Parts Catalog, Technical Info Center, Photos & Community, etc.) don't appear to be successfully re-directing from the forums. I have to go out to PelicanParts.com directly to get where I need to go. Just FYI, I know this a work in progress.

And thanks for the hard work!!!

Wayne,
I can't thank you enough for all your work and such a great forum. I seem to be the odd one here, but the speed, for me, is beyond slow--and I have cable modum. Hope it will remedy soon because sometimes I can't even switch topic pages.

Keep up the good work!

shbop 07-25-2007 07:13 AM

Not that fast at all. I'm on cable, and it loads very, very slowly.

Thanks Wayne for all your hard work - I know this is a hurdle - and I imagine that right now it's probably like haveing two day jobs.

I am addicted to this forum like Lindsey Lohan and alcohol.....and coke.....and attention.....and alcohol....

Question
 
Wayne, I am still having speed problems with the site, but I think I may have figured it out or may be its a coincidence. I am behind a very robust fire wall. My fire wall prevents the discloser of browser information. It also sends out no referrer information. This may cause a conflict with what ever Dos (denial of service) protection you are using. Any credence or just a wag (wild assed guess) on my part?

Missing BB feature?
 
Wayne,
This loads way faster than before. There is a "Previous Thread | Next Thread" hyperlink banner at the bottom of each page. Can this be added to the top of each page of this new BB version as well? It was very helpful when searching for info in a recent thread.

Your effort is appreciated.

BTW, would Gramar Ccheck be two munch to aks for?;)

hitched1 07-25-2007 10:24 AM

Much faster than it was!

hitched1 07-25-2007 10:33 AM

any reason why I cant post a new thread in OT?

Danglerb 07-25-2007 11:53 AM

Thanks for keeping the forum nice.

I missed it while it was down, almost had to talk to my wife about Porsche's. Very dangerous. ;)

Nostril Cheese 07-25-2007 12:10 PM

Forum is slower than it was before.

At least on my end anyway..

the 07-25-2007 12:16 PM

Still slow to "very slow."

rbuswell 07-25-2007 05:40 PM

Which software are you using

It's my understanding, Wayne, that you designed the original peer-to-peer system yourself. Is the new software a commercial product or your own upgrades?

red67 07-25-2007 11:59 PM

your efforts are much appreciated wayne.
I realise how much of a good thing pelican is when its offline for a little while and I miss it.

jhelgesen 07-26-2007 05:17 AM

Any reason I keep having to log in, several times a day? I have "remember me" checked. Running firefox. I hit my bookmark for the site and the login is gone.

THANKS for fixing the system Wayne!!!

Stutzdriver 07-26-2007 05:19 AM

Wayne,

Thanks so much for all the work on the forum!!! Jumped in here this AM and it is LIGHTNING FAST!! Every page loads in the blink of an eye and the look is a great blend of the old and the new. Thanks for restoring the links at the top as I find the "Jump to" function at the bottom of the page to be a PIA.

I'm sure I speak for all of us here in saying a great big "THANK YOU" for all you do for this "Community".

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Ok thanks thats understandable. I need to configure my fire wall better, because when it is disabled the site is much and I mean much faster.
Thanks for all your effort.
