+trainlove Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 One word! YES! I think the forums are getting much more of a workout then they ever had before. Especially with the 7/23 Release, and less so with the 8/19 and 9/3 REleases. A long time ago it was suggested that the forums servers get upgraded as the geocaching servers did in 2007. As a workaround, for those who don't know that impatience can lead to multiple copies of their posts, new and replies, would be to put a big bold warning right above the Submit button. That too was mentioned months ago when repeated messages were the norm and not the exception. Link to comment
knowschad Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yup. I'm not getting the timeout message... but it can sometimes take 10 minutes (literally) to get into a forum or open a posting. Link to comment
+Klatch Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Some days I think my monitor will get burnt in with the words "Waiting for forums.Groundspeak.com". Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hello to everyone here on this Web site forum... I haven't ventured to post here before. I've been patiently hoping... hoping... hoping... for about 2 months that this problem would be sorted out. I'm getting fed up of seeing the little spinning thing when I try to connect to the Forums, or refresh the page. Double and even triple posts are becoming more frequent over on the UK Forum - A couple of weeks back one person managed to start 3 identical new Topics! - I donned my other hat, put on the duck feathers to "Mod" them invisible and it then took ages to get logged in to my Mod account, by which time the jokers had started posting on them OK. I've had my little grump now... I'll wander off again... BTW - I'd like a pony too, please MrsB Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I feel bad that you guys are having problems. Oddly enough, even though I'm on these forums multiple times every day, I haven't had a single problem. Not sure why we are having different experiences! Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Next you'll be making me really envious by saying you got the free pony too MrsB Link to comment
+thedeadpirate Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Are you not having problems because you read a lot on the boards and don't post much? I've experienced the slow loading times of the forums for a while. I rarely wind up with a double post these days though. Not because the forums aren't screwy, but because they've been screwy so long that I've learned how to work around it; like copying my post before I hit the submit button and chilling out while I wait for the php error. Then I reload the page to see if my post went through. If it did, I'm good to go. If it didn't, I just paste in the text I have learned to copy. But being a patient person who doesn't post very much so they don't necessarily notice the problem doesn't mean it's not happening right under their nose. Link to comment
