• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Wanted to set this up to keep a running tab of any problems showing up with this new server. So far, here's what I've got.

  • Chat does not work.
  • Spell check does not work
  • Three members have indicated that they cannot upload images as attachments to their classified ad threads.

Anything else?

What about general throughput of this site now? Faster? Slower? Same?
 
I am getting more consistent page loads. I usually hit new posts and start opening them up in tabs. Invariably, I end up with several pages that do not load. Tonight every page loaded without issue.
 
From my end the speed is a little better. Have not tried anything to special. Will send a PM to someone just to test it out.
 
To those people having problems uploading pics as attachments, is this only in the classifieds section or does the problem show up in the discussion forums as well?
 
OK, let's try another angle.

What browser is being used by people who CAN'T upload images?
 
I'm at work - sshhhhhhhhhhhhh - using Internet Explorer (not really sure which version it is)
 
Harald,

Would you mind PMing me your password so I can log in as you and try and upload? I want to see if it is actually the login, or if it is the computer you are using. One person stated that he tried a couple of computers at different locations and still couldn't upload. That seems to indicate something tied to the profile or permission set of his registration.

But right now I'm grasping at straws and want to be able to give a sold failure example to my server guy or programmer.
 
I am using internet explorer 8. I am trying to upload a pic straight off of an xd picture card.
