Forum is slow and glitchy

I posted how to do this some time back and have used it almost every morning since. It's posted in this thread somewhere.....

In the search bar, just type in "firewoodhoardersclub" and with the results, you should be able to find FHC's home page. Select that, log in and then go to alerts. From your alerts page, you can navigate to the sub-forums and are able to view and post on them.

It's a bass-ackwards way of getting around the site in it's time of troubles...........or you can wait until the afternoon when it seems the site usually is operating as it should.

You're welcome!

 

I use a laptop with chrome and it allows you to save tabs. I keep FHC saved to "new posts" and I have no issues. If I hit the error I just use the back button and go a different direction.
I know that won't exactly help iphone users, but that's why I quit using mine and went with the laptop. Not to mention it's a lot easier on the eyes and joints.

 

My normal MO when I get the AM fatal alert.

 

I’ve never experienced this fatal error and 80% of the time I’m on my iPhone.


Random thought,
Is there a chance the link being used to get on FHC is no longer valid and it’s causing this issue? Maybe save watched threads or new posts as your new link?

 

I do same but sometimes get error by hitting FHC saw on top of page

 

Sometimes when I Google search and click on sub forums I'll get the fatal error. Either way us die hards find a way.

 

There are some forums suffering from Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks; as I understand it it is a barrage of automated attempts to log into the site that effectively block access to legitimate logins. What is happening here has a little bit the same feel to it, too many “users” attempting to access the site? I may be barking up the wrong tree . . .

 

Thanks everyone for the tips on bypassing the fatal error - I saved the New Posts link. I haven't been following this thread, so haven't seen the work arounds previously.

Most of the time you aren't on in the wee hours of the morning like I am. This morning I AM a little early since I couldn't stay asleep so I'm on during some people's evenings instead.

 

I guess that's the first time you admitted to being somewhat normal.....kinda.

Thanks for all you're doing Scotty!

Has to be incredibly frustrating.

 

Another morning with continued problems on the site.

Scotty Overkill are you in this by yourself or did you have partners when forming the site?

 

There was a fella that maintained the site, and enhanced the site code with various add-ons and "nice to haves". He is no longer affiliated with the site.

 

You are not alone my friend!

 

I experienced a new issue yesterday where I couldn’t post anything. It may have been a google glitch because when I tried to post I would get a white screen with the G. I couldn’t do anything go anywhere from the white screen. This morning it’s just the typical fatal error business.

 

Yeah, super glitchy today.
I've had more fatal errors already today than my all time total.

 

when you do a search for the forum (I don't have it bookmarked) and click the main forum link.
It gives a fatal error about memory
,Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 86 bytes) in /home/scottyo/public_html/forums/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Mysqli.php on line 304
but if you click say the classifieds, the forum loads and works.
Looks like some mysql errors due to running out of memory.

 

Just clicked the saw logo at the top of the page and saw this. First time for me.
