• 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....

New Server status check

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?

No notifications of new posts to subscribed threads by email. They show up in my User CP but no emails are being sent.

I reported my above post and I didn't receive notification by email either.
 
RE: Posting Issues

I can't load any pics on any of the forums. I've tried on 2 different computers with 2 different browsers, I.E. 8 and the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. All I know is I wasn't having any issues before the server change. I don't think my pic files are corrupt because I can load them on other reptile related sites.
 
I'm trying to get this fixed, fellas. If this doesn't get fixed soon, we may be looking at the site getting the plug pulled temporarily so it can all be moved back to the old server. There may be no other alternative.

Now I've got a problem with CornSnakes.com whereby it takes 189 seconds to generate and display the main forum page.

Lovely..............
 
We're probably going to drop off line pretty shortly. My server tech guy is going to load a different operating system on the server.
 
This is Rich Z logging in under Harald's account to see if I can upload an attachment file...

OK, it looks like at least SOME of the members who could not upload attachments now have this working. Anyone still NOT able to do that?
