Server Move Issues, Bugs or Concerns

[Haro]

I was unable to login to the old sight (forgot or unrecognized pw?) so I reset password. If I click on on any links, threads, etc here, it logs me out in view only mode.

Should I contact admin?

Thx

[Haro]

Well, I seem to be OK now by running through some paths.

Thx!

[siege247]

I cant access my itrader.

[OCEquestrian]

Problem seems to be back...

[offrdmania]

Seems to occur about one in every 5 times I come to the site

[Nor*Cal]

Calguns has become in the past few years the worst performing website I have used since the dial-up modem days.

Most of the time when I click on Calguns, it takes so long to load that I just give up.

[nickster]

Me too!

[Jedediah Munroe]

Hardly works, kinda like CFARS, probably run by the same people now. Sad

[Hatchman]

Very slow, almost unresponsive.

[SWalt]

around and around and around she goes

This site is incredibly annoying to use because of how unpredictable the experience will be. Sometimes it runs like ever other websites on the internet and other times it runs like the early days of dial up.

Whoever you have "working" on this problem need to be fired and replaced because they are doing a sh** job.

"

EDIT: how do post images that are not URLs?

so, is this issue ever going to get fixed? at times it seems to be getting worse. it literally has me not wanting to come to this site anymore

[billybobpd]

taking forever to load pages ...............

[L84CABO]

Boy this is tuff. Once I get to the main forum page, I have taken to right clicking and opening...trying to open...several of the various sub forums and/or threads in a separate window. It seems more productive than doing it the normal way. I can usually get a few things open and then read them while I try and wait for the failures to reload.

[Armytop]

I had 9 OOPS doing searches today.
Has 4 OOPS just trying ti get on this page

[sitruc]

Like many others, I have been having connection issues for the past week or so. Sometimes posts won't actually post because my connection times out. I have to reload pages two or three times.

[shadowofnight]

Really slow again

[AlmostHeaven]

Having to wait upwards of 40 seconds for the page to load just to see a single new post has been extremely annoying.

[Rorge Retson]

SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..................

[BAJ475]

What is it with the random slowness, a failing server? An attack of some sort? I just clicked on "Home" and got PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. Tried again and got to the home page, but slow.

[WithinReason]

Have we ever heard from anyone who explained what is causing the problem, and what is the solution?

The site is not allowing me to respond to an inquiry about my WTS post in the C&R Collectors exchange.

Dear Administrator(s),

The Calguns website has been running very slow and I am getting a lot of time out errors. Is the server or network having issues at this time. Just wanted to let you know and get some information. Respectfully sent.

What is wrong with the web site??? very...very...very slow!!!

[Kyle1886]

From the head Janitor as to why the slow down.

I've posted about what is causing our issues, in short a conflict between the coding of the old vB 3.8 software and the newer version of MySQL. This came about when we moved to the new server when P.E. closed.

The fix is updating the forum software to vBulletin 5.7.x, something that was suppose to happen not long after we did the server move in January.

The fact that it didn't happen is entirely on me.
To make a long and whiny story short Dad passed the end of last year, step mom passed in January while working on this and I kind of got in to a whole 'who gives a s**t about anything anyway' funk.

But life goes on and things need to be done so no more funk unless it's Carl Carlton!

I've reached out to the vBulletin staff to pick up where I left off on having them do the update since it's their software. It's not free but it's not too expensive and the plausible deniability is worth it.
I'm hoping we can get this going soon because this slow stuff is irritating me too!

I'll post the link when the site will let me.

I click on the "remember me" and stay logged in. I don't log in and log out. It can be well over a year before something happens and I have to log in again. Perhaps staying logged in is better than frustration?

[Glockzilla1031]

Having issues login in, and staying logged in

[ffemt]

Also having issues staying logged in, even after changing the password.

Please help

Are any issues related to the use of a VPN? I have tired to figure out for myself as I have a background in IT. I have a hard time staying logged in from my iPad and also Firefox browser on my PC laptop. I turned off my VPN on my PC laptop and tried to use a private window with the Firefox browser on my PC laptop and it would not allow me to login. Using a regular window with the Firefox browser on my PC laptop, I am able to use the website with a VPN part of the time with a standard window using the Firefox browser. If the admin(s) need some client side testing done, I have 25 years experience as a IT professional doing mostly server/client and some development. I use PC and iOS devices. I can probably dig up an older Android tablet. Please PM me if I can help.
