We’re going to resize the server a bit to let the forums have a bit more “zing”.  So things will be bumpy for about 10 minutes.  Hang loose I’ll let y

Still very slow page load times for those in the Pacific time zone using Cloudflare for DNS or DoH.

Also significant page link inconsistencies between links listed as replies on the main blog page and other pages of the site. Other pages much more updated with replies than the main page.

Still bumpy, I ask that you be patient.

By ‘zing’ I take it you meant speed. Well what’s the opposite of ‘zing’?  Here is SE Asia it is noticeably slower to load pages.  Possibly due to the ‘zing’ adjustment or the Xmas onslaught.  I’ll wait and see.

It’s looking plenty zingy from Thailand.

I couldn’t access for over 4 hours. Kept getting 502 Bad Gateway message.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Woody! It’s good to see your familiar face(?) again. Hope you’re doing well.

All is working well for me.

The site access and user login work now and pages are accessible. Still noticeably slow, here in the Mid-Atlantic, but not so slow that one gives up waiting for the pages to load.

Still working on the issues.  I ask that you be patient.  Please spend time watching Holiday movies or drinking egg nog and apologies!

Here in Hawaii, I was getting 502 errors here all afternoon. Then I left around 4PM for awhile. “Is it Down Right Now” site said Woody’s was reachable during the hours I could not reach it. My iPhone (different internet carrier from that for my computers) also was unable to reach this site.

Yea that it is back now! Aloha and Mele Kalikimaka everyone!

Yes, it’s definitely back. It feels not different from before, right now: everything I’ve tried to do has worked equally well and about as quickly as before. Maybe the response is meant to be faster, eventually — or perhaps there have been other, more important reasons for making the changes?

For me the site is slow, very slow. It was faster after the move to the new hoster and slowed after the changes to forums.

The site was very fast yesterday but is very slow this morning for me here in the UK.

At least I can access it again – earlier today (Christmas Eve in U.K.) all links led to a 502 bad gateway. But it’s certainly not faster than it used to be yet – slower, I’d say. Sorry.

Yes, me too! I had been getting that Bad Gateway error since late afternoon yesterday 12/23 in the eastern US, on both my laptop and phone. Right now is the first I’ve been able to get access. Hope it is fixed. Happy Holidays everyone!

The site is accessing fine here on the northwest coast 10:55am PST via a local ISP on a slowish 20Mbps connection. I don’t notice it any faster or slower than before the site change, it is still fairly fast to open threads and posting replies is smooth. No access errors.

Nice job switching servers! Good access here.

Everything seems to be working fine here near the Mason-Dixon Line too.

In the “Fun Stuff” forum I started two threads months ago and updated both today with a new comment in each.The new comments have html links and picture files attached; comments like that used to take quite a bit longer to get published than those with just plain text. This time it was: hit “submit” … and Bam! there it was: published to perfection, instantly,

Or is this NOT how it is supposed to work? A bug, not a feature? If so, I like the bug, hold the feature!
