Is there a problem at bobistheoilguy.com?

[Drew99GT]

No error messages, but BITOG has been dreadfully slow sometimes lately.

 

[moribundman]

Yeah, something's wrong all right. I can't post or link a picture that I have on photobucket. Every other picture works fine. Odd!

What's the size (dimensions and file size) limit for graphics on BITIOG?

 

[moribundman]

Never mind my complaint. Eye figgered it owt. Appearantly the word "skraps" (with "c"), which is part of my image's URL, is verboten by the forum Zensurbehörde für Sittlichkeit und Anstand.

Good grief, what kind of antisemantic fool designed that forum nanny?

 

[Shannow]

but mori, we got to type pigturducken in another thread.

 

[moribundman]

I will not trade an ounce of pigturducken for a plate full of skraps!

I can see that the board slows, at times, at about 11a.m. ET. It's not continuous ..but there. I figure that one of two things occurs at this time. Whomever else shares the server with BITOG actually starts working in earnest ..causing some jams ...or a rush of those who have stopped working, and are prepping for lunch, log on en mass. You can see it "roll across the nation" as 11 a.m. occurs in the given time zones. After about 5 p.m. the troubles get less frequent.

You've got to love the level of productivity here in the US. People so dedicated that they can get even monumental tasks out of the way in a breif amount of time ..and ..not wanting to waste any time, engage in continuing education on the internet.

Gary, I noticed that here also. No worries here. This board works so good 98% of the time that I'm just really impressed. Again, thanks Joee..

It was VERY slow and almost non-responding yesterday. Not bad today.

When I go "theoildropserver" I wind up on the main forum page, but since yesterday, on "bobistheoilguy.com" all I get is a bunch of scrambled HTML.

Oh ..I agree. Joe & Co. do a stellar job

. It's more a comment about our obsession then anything else. This is getting into the big boy league of page views. Simply amazing when you consider its humble origins.

Okay, now I am on my laptop and the home page seems to load up fine. Time to see what is up with my home PC I guess.

 

[Papa Bear]

I'm on 36k dial-up... it's slow all the time.

P.B.

There is over 13,000 "problems" at BITOG

 

[sxg6]

I got this one a few times tonight. I hope no one thinks i'm complaining, just lettin the mods know.

 

[JavaMan]

Yeah, I get this occasionally. I just attribute to the software isn't perfect, but, it's a heck of a lot better than my version. The vast majority of the time everything is just peachy. That's just my opinion.

 

[Pablo]

just got the same error

 

[joee12]

Thanks for the heads-up, Joe
