Anyone else having difficulties logging on and loading pages? I have been struggling to use the site for a week or so. Sometimes get on the forum but cannot load the different topics or categories. Same with posting. Tried a couple different computers and it is the same problem. Very frustrating.

The forum site is definately running slow. Seems to happen on a fairly regular basis. I just keep stopping and refreshing until I get something. Chuck

Yeah Mark, The site has been getting slower and slower to load, sometimes I just get the "yellow page" with the Chinese gibberish on it.
I usually just go to another site...

When you leave the site up on a tab and return to it later I find you need to click on the "Home" button to refresh the screen or you get the dreaded yellow page. Also I find that stopping and refreshing a slow loading page seems to help. Chuck

Since this site has never "Remembered Me?" I have to log on each time I visit, even if it is within minutes.
As a comparison I never have to log onto the H.A.M.B. unless for some reason I log off after my last visit, which I don't. I have it several different Threads and Social Groups bookmarked, click, instantly on.
Same with The Ford Barn.

I only sign in when I want to respond to a post or send a message to a member. But, that said I sign in at least once per day. I used to just let it stay logged in but we figured out that effects the "Hit Counter" on the page. If you stay logged in for several days you only get counted once. Logging in at least once each day pushes the count numbers. Its the least we can do for the effort Jim has put into the site. Chuck PS Thanks Jim, Ted and all the others that keep us up, running and straight.v

Jim, just so you know, even with all my bitchin' and moain' I still appreciate all you do for this site. So you know it does not seem any faster today. Maybe the wires are cold...

Not sure what the purpose of the "Hit Counter" is and why we want to "push the count numbers". Is it to justify having the site? Please 'splain to me, Lucy.

When the site was just getting started Jim was very concious of the number of "hits" we received. We were all watching as the volume of hits increased. The number of hits reflects the success of the site and its placement for search engines. Not to mention if Jim ever wanted to look at paid advertizers. Just a habit I picked up for sites I like.

Yeah , slow loading here too .....funny thing is , the site started " remembering me " on it's own after months of having to repeatedly log in . I have no idea why it's an automatic log-in now , I didn't do anything different . Maybe I shouldn't have said this
