Ex Forum Admin Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 14/12/04 - Just to let you all know that the forum has been switched to new servers, so the connection problem has been improved greatly. There should be less timeouts, quicker page download (especially for broadband users in particular), and it should run a great deal smoother.

Diana Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 And I put it all down to having got my broadband working for the first time last night, the pages now just wizz straight through. But thanks anyway to all the techno junkies and the new servers.Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 This is very good news - I noticed the speed-up as soon as I started. Also I don't have to login every time. Thanks - Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're still using some sort of narrow band link (basically anything other than ADSL or higher capacity leased links), then the site's performance is still going to be fairly slow.There's unfortunately nothing we can do about this....Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulhogan Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hello Forum AdminGreat to see increase in speed but since the server move the problem relating to unable to see posters name and control panel not being visible has returned i have reconfigured Norton Firewall to reflect the new site addresses but this has not cured the problem. Why has a simple server move resulted in the recurrence of earlier problems? life is too short to spend time resolving this recurring problem every time you make a change,yours in frustration Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try browsing the site without this enabled, do you still have the same problems? The server move will have caused this because the URL the forums use has changed. It's now http://forums.livingfrance.comThis is due to various reasons as explained on other threads.In advance warning, we will probably need to change the URL again (3rd change) when the rest of the site is moved across. At this point the address will go back to www.livingfrance.com/forums, or something similar.Suggest you configure Norton with a URL based on wildcards - *.livingfrance.com/* - if this is possible.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulhogan Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi TimThanks for the suggestion of using wildcards in the URL referred to in the Firewall Ad blocking tab. It seems to have done the trick, all is well again.Once again many thanksPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'm with Janey on this. The improvement to the login is good but the speed is no different. It really does annoy me this business of Broadband. AFAIK there is no prospect of me getting Broadband in this rural area in the near future and even if it were available I am not at all sure that I would wish to pay for it, given the fairly limited use I make of the Internet (I do have a life )I have been looking at property web sites recently, by their nature they have loads of photos to download, but there is only one site that gives me real trouble. When I e-mailed the owners they said, of course, if you had Broadband ... But it is very strange that other large sites with loads of details still download very well indeed.Liz (29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcazar Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'd like to post a vote of thanks to LF, this forum now runs, for me at least, like the others I go on. Well done LF, and thanks! Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
