Hosting/server problems?

Up and down a bunch, some 404's and then what looked like a message filler page from the host.

Been a number of issues for different people, there was a thread on here somewhere only the other day!!

I just set our Fourm up with http://www.cloudflare.com/

This should help the site load A LOT faster for our non-US users and cut down on our spam and our bandwidth usage - which should hopefully eliminate these server issues we have seen lately. I look forward to reviewing the usage stats tomorrow and checking out the difference. They also cache pages so that even if the site is down sporadically for a few seconds here and there it should still load up and that hiccup will be transparent to the end user. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Also - everyone - please continue to let me know if you are experiencing any issues.

I didnt get on the site first time but got on it right away after that.

Often today I have been getting a very basic page loading up (ie no formatting and plain text on a white background). Refreshing seems to bring it back. FYI

Maybe everyone except us has finally achieved a state of nirvana or zen with their FJ's? Dammit I knew I should practiced my lotus position better...

I have been getting "500" errors all day.

And the search function is all jacked...

Just type in "renegade 2012" and you will never find the info regarding the upcoming rally. I went in seven (7) pages and was still not able to find the topic I was looking for.

I now find it faster to find a member that has already posted in a specific topic, then go to their most recent posts and find the topic I am looking for.

Right here answering all kinds of questions...

I know it has been having issues for some time, but I figured I would put down an example to let Marsh try it and possibly lead to the fix to the problem.

It is much more beneficial to try and be a part of the solution than just complain about the problem.

I just made some changes to the Search Function - and next week I will work on it some more - I just learned about a few other things I can do to optimize it. Anyway - try it again - this time check the box that says "Search in topic subjects only" - BAM - first result!!
