want the site to stop laggin? do this!

[FrighT MasteR]

I can't stress this enough, if you want to help stop the site from not loading or lagging, then I need help from you all. I've posted this before and I'm posting it again, because I never get much response back. If the site fails to load or lags way too much, do this:

On your computer go to START, RUN, and type CMD
Then type
tracert upcominghorrormovies.com
Let it run, when it's done, right click, select all, and copy it
CTRL+C if you don't know

This is important. It tells the server people what is wrong with your connection, and it may determine the problem, so it can finally be solved. I found out earlier that I share the same network with other sites, meaning, these lag issues may be due to another site hogging all the network space.

Either way, things like this can only be determined if I get this information from you guys. They need it from various people to see if there's a key element that's apparent in all visitors. You also have to follow these steps as it happens, so if you notice the page not loading, follow the steps, it's more effective doing it as it happens.

I'd recommend copying the above directions and pasting it in notepad or something, so when it happens you can just open it up and follow the steps. Once again, if we want to solve this connection problem, I need help from all of you, if I can get three or more that'd be great :thumbup3:

Thanks slayer, although it's more effective if you do it when the page fails to load as opposed to it simply lagging going from page to page.

Are you guys just doing this or are you doing this while having problems loading the page? Because I'm not experiencing any problems and it's more effective if you run these scans while you do experience issues.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

I did mine while it was lagging on my end.

[woodenheart]

Will do Webmaster. Ok today.

[UzumakiW]

No problems today, sir! :thumbup:

[koolmike]

Running well today.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

So far, so good! :bigthumbup:

[KING]

Yep, just that one day it was really bad..

[Belcebu]

I've never experience any major issues with the site, but if I do I will send you the report.
Te one thing that still bugs me about is that when I click on a thread and I am reading it from the top, it will automatically go further down when the page is done loading, I do not have this problem with any other message board, just UHM, but I deal with it, by holding the scroll bar on the side.

[Grendel]

Haven't had a problems to speak of on this end. Be happy to trace if/when I do.

That's because you click the icon for the latest post. If you just click the thread title it doesn't take u to the bottom. :straightface2:

[Misfit]

i have a problem that when i load the main page it says steelba is a reviewer now.....anyway of fixing that?

[FrighT MasteR]

:sure:

[FrighT MasteR]

So no one else experiencing problems? What I hate about this is how when it happens everyone complains, but when I try to do something about it, the problems go away :sure:

[Luris Blear]

I just PM'd you another tracert from when the site went bad on me.

I've noticed most of the downtime is only existent with the message board. A lot of times when the board fails to connect, I can easily connect to the main page, so the problem lies somewhere within the board. I'll have to check more into this. It may be some sort of script issue or something.

[FrighT MasteR]

After seemingly exhausting almost all efforts to find a solution to the lag/downtime issue, the server peeps finally decided to switch me to a different internal server. They said that I was basically on a somewhat "crowded" server before with a lot of other popular sites, so we'd be sharing the same bandwidth, and UHM would get the crap parts that likes to F up a lot.

They switched UHM over this morning, so some people might still be getting a "Forbidden" error saying they don't have permission to access the site. It's temporary. I know steelba is getting it right now and I'll have to assume others who aren't on right now are probably gettin' the same.

As for the new server -- I dunno if it's just me, but the board seems A LOT faster. No slow loads at all, and I can browse it like a lot of other sites I visit. Hopefully it remains at this speed for the rest of its time it's online. :thumbup3:

[woodenheart]

When I first came on line early this morning the site was saying your forbidden to do this, forbidden to do that. I thought wow FrighT has restricted me. Now it is running smoothly....like I am skating on ice...like I am "skating away on the thin ice of a new day".....*flute playing in the background*

[FrighT MasteR]

Oh, actually I really did ban you this morning :D

[Matty]

Ok, so, Fright...

I dont know if its my computer or the site every once in awhile, but i'll click on say...horror talk, and it will bring to a page saying the site doesnt exsist, i go back, clikc agian, and its fine. WHATS GOOD?! happen to you? or just the internet being the internet?

[FrighT MasteR]

Just refresh or clear your mofo cookies :dsp:

[FrighT MasteR]

Anyone experience any lag or downtime since the move? I haven't and I'm lovin' it :happydance:
