Is anyobody else here experiencing a problem with

our message board? Quite frequently when I click on a

message title I am taken, not to the message I want, but

to a page way back in the message list containing

messages 70-109.<br><br>Is there a fix for

this?<br><br>Homer

This has been happening to me alot especially in

the last few weeks, especially today. I have noticed

it for over a year, but until recently it has always

just been with a msg that was posted in the last few

minutes. Now it seems to happen with msgs from the whole

day. Sometimes it happens when clicking on NEXT and in

some cases you can get to the msg that would be next

by entering the msg number. We would probably have

to contact to get the straight scoop on this.

Maybe they are getting to big and need bigger and/or

faster servers or maybe there are problems with the

software they use. Maybe it is just the size of the

message base for this club (shouldn't be a problem).

Probably it is nothing that has to do with our individual

machines, but you never know.

"Is anybody else here experiencing a problem with

our message board?"<br><br>I'll say!<br><br>As for

the technical problem, I can confirm what TLSlade

says in message #8361 replying to yours: If hitting

"next" takes you to the wrong place, then typing in the

actual number of the message you want usually gets you

there, except with very recently posted messages. They

are all worth waiting for, though (aren't they?).

To get around the problem of being taken back to

the first few messages take the following

steps:<br><br>1. Right click on the message you want to read from

the message list. (Or right click "next" from the

post you're currently reading.)<br><br>2. Choose "copy

shortcut" from the dropdown menu.<br><br>3. Right click on

the URL line (the one where you type the addy of the

site you want to visit.)<br><br>4. Choose "paste" from

the drop down menu.<br><br>5. At the beginning of the

URL line remove the word "messages" and type

"post".<br><br>6. Click "go" or hit "enter".<br><br> has been

having this problem more frequently since their merge

with e-groups. With any luck it will go away shortly.

Looks very much to me as if it is some kind of

timing/synchronisation problem between the server that presents the

message list, and the one that presents the actual text

of the messages.<br><br> is the busiest web

site in the world, and must be running multiple

servers with requests being distributed to different ones

as they come in the balance the load. It is entirely

possible that message text could take a few minutes to

make it round to all the servers, whereas just the

messag enumbers and subjects could get copied around

faster, depending on how they've designed the thing.

<br><br>I suspect it's purely a capacity/performance

problem - web companies have no money any more, so they

can't just keep buying more & bigger & faster servers

like they could a year or two ago. I'm sure the guys

at know more about how to make this kind of

stuff fast & reliable than pretty much anybody else on

earth.
