Forum broken again?

For over a year it seemed like my login was really stable and I could make a post or comment without the login getting dropped. Now it seems like I am getting dropped out every minute or so and posting is a serious challenge. I don't have this issue with any other forums, just here.

Is there a way to create a stable login where forum members get dropped out after 60 minutes of inactivity to preserve bandwidth but are otherwise stable as long as they are actively scrolling or posting? Inquiring minds.

I had the login issue for about a week sometime in the last 3-4 months. Some other folks are having that issue still. I think I've seen a couple of posts about it.

For me, today, the forum seems weirdly slow. Sometimes it responds pretty normally, and sometimes it doesn't ever respond, but on a subsequent click, it's back to normal.

Slow, then it double posted, then I couldn't delete, then both were deleted, then slow to pull up this broken again thread. SNAFU

Same here. All was OK for a while, now have to log in twice when making a reply, in addition to being dropped every few minutes...

CF has been a "band aid" to prevent bots ... but has serious performance issues ... it's now a "system's design issue" ... and it's a flawed solution ... warts & all ... imo.

Ya can't do proxy server calls constantly (a la CF) over a SLOW network and have decent performance .... but that is a recent change....

And ALL networks are slow .

It just is... and will be ... until it is addressed.

My .02....

I think we’re being tested.

You know, like the guy they can’t fire so they make his life in the office miserable.

I am not an IT expert by any means, just an analog guy in a digital world and have no idea about the nuts and bolts of a forum like this. I just came back after a couple of hours away and I was still logged in. Let's see if it will let me post a response.

Nope, booted off when I pressed "reply". I find this odd.
