Forum servers busted?
« on: February 24, 2018, 06:49:19 pm »
So I've noticed if you try and post a beefy topic with lots of links to pics, it constantly drops the connection.  Some posts also don't show up, some show as posted but don't open when clicked (corruption during posting) and replying to existing posts often returns a server error / connection drop out.

Do we as a community need to pump some more cash into it?  I'm happy to contribute.  If the forum owner doesn't have the time or resources to manage it, shall we offload ownership onto someone else?

It's a great forum overall with some good advice and friendly members, but I think it needs a bit of love  :love:

Gettings this aswell last night. Also all of my posts need to be checked by Moderators. Not sure if that's a problem with the servers or in the Forum rules. Cannot see anything on the site about it though.

I've had a few errors when trying to post and the posts have posted fine.
