JOHN...HELP... it's happening again !

[bottomstep]

I cannot attach pics !
I compose a thread or a repley, and click on attach file.
Another window opens up with the little hourglass coursor and after a minute or so, a messege pops up that says, "can't find www.mistessdestiny.com/forums/attachmanage blah..blah..blah

What's going on ? HELP ME HELP ME

What is your connection speed?

[John]

I think one issue MAY be how much use the forum is getting...this is what's happening as I type this..

There are currently 79 members and 96 guests on the boards. Most users ever online was 368 on 11-18-2002 at 09:06 PM.

The forum is getting busier and busier...kind of a pain in the ass, really...especially with all those blankety blank GUESTS out there...hahahaha

When I posted last about how many registered members we had, it was around 6500...now it's almost 6700..that was a couple day ago...

Here's a breakdown by post since October 1....you can see the upward pattern...

So, we may be overloading the server...it's possible I may need to get another server and load balance them...if that happens, I'm charging lilgump for FORCING all these people over here...

HAR HAR HAR.... :matey:

John,

I have a cable connection so I don't think speed is the issue.
You're probably right about the conjestion.
Sometimes the attach window gives me the "can't find....." error and sometimes I'll get the attach window and I'll select a file to attach and get the error on the next step.
VERY frustrating !!!!!
I've tried late at night and I've tried early in the morning.
Don't know what else to do.
Could it have somrthing to do with security settings in Internet Explorer ?
I seem to be able to post threads or repleys okay, as long as I don't try to attach pics.
