Quote:Bduck- this problem has nothing to do with the upgrade, the slow loading is a result of the hacker that go into the site several weeks ago. IT has not been able to find what the hacker did to make the site run so slow, so the owner is looking for a new IT person to fix this issue. It was either leave the site up as it is now or shut it down completely like they did the last time. This issue will be repaired in time, I hope they take up fishnotphish's kind offer to help fix this issue, sooner rather than later.The upgrade may of may not be the sole cause of the errors we are all experiencing, but it certainly failed to prevent hacking from happening. The upgrade being so porly done also contributed to vintage logins being unable to connect and new accounts needing to be set up. Also it failed to work with internet providers that were trouble free on the old platform like Centurylink.net. Errors like Unable to connect to database, Sorry be back soon, Timing out when connecting or posting all indicate poor planning or incompetence. I for one would take the old site over this one any time.
These problems are just the ones I have experienced the list for all users is surely much larger.
The only saving grace has not been the developers of the new site but the patience and dedication of our staedfast group of moderators that have made every effort to help each of us! THANKS!!
