    Disclaimer Alert:hair: I know almost nothing about websites,hosting, etc. etc…. But the thought occurred to me that could the rise of AI have anything to do with increasing bot activity and slowing sites down to a crawl? This isn’t the only site that’s had glitches….Inquiring minds want to know :whistle:

    I just had a few glitches. On the last one I waited a long time and finally decided the forum was dead again but it did finally come back. Nothing like taking 5 minutes trying to make a post...

    Maybe it's time for Plan B for fixing this thing? Plan A seems to have failed.

    It's been running fine for about two weeks. Then today it's worse than it's ever been

    I gave up yesterday. This morning after trying over and over again I got it to work. That didn't last long... Forum is about dead.

    It's 3 am and forum is working perfectly.
    First time I've seen it this good in a long time.
    Thanks to all who keep this site working.

    Past two days hardly usable. Today its good.

    Is anybody having problems loading pics? I use a digital camera and suddenly pics wont load. I have a flip phone so cant do it like everyone else does.

    What percentage of FHC members/guests use a computer or laptop vs a phone to view the forum?

    I use a iPad and load pictures from my photos stored on it. I don’t really post many pictures so can’t speak to this problem, but past several days forum has been so slow I’m just happy to e able to read and reply to posts:thumbs:

    PC 100% of the time. I don't browse online at all with my phone. FYI, a laptop is just a form of PC. Only PC's I have are laptops. One is my personal one and the other my work one. When in use both are docked with standalone dual monitors/keyboard/mouse, so functionally they are just like using a desktop PC.
