So why is the website so slow? It's been painful to access this site the last 6 months or more. Is this a money issue? Why can't the web host be changed to a more reliable/quicker one? Participation is dropping off at an alarming rate.
Web Hosting Provider problems?

I have also noticed this for some time now. Thought it was something lacking in my computer or server. Sometimes I just give up looking at anything on this forum, and go on to something else. However, this morning it is working more quickly than I have experienced it in months. Maybe all is once again well. I hope so!

Hank is in the process of moving he site to a new Server. This make take a couple of days, but I see an improvement already. Please bear with us and the site should get back to opearating smoothly as it has before this fiasco. Thanks for your patience...

Yes, it appears quicker today. I noticed some database messages last night when I couldn't access it.
It had pretty much become the norm that I would click the hpmx bookmark I have and then go to another browser and do something else while I was waiting for hpmx to come up. Click on a forum, go to another window, click on a thread, go to another window.
Hopefully things will be better now!

I had the same experiences as Charles did with doing other things while the pages opened. I am very happy to see that the site is now working well.

My apologies to all. Hopefully the new host will meet our needs. The previous host kept promising to resolve the issues and I was hoping a transfer wouldn't be necessary.
We’ve been collecting images for over 4 years and have amassed quite the collection. There is over 4000 images, over 4700 files total, and 630+MB. I was up till 1am last night and started again this morning.
It took about 8 hrs total to get it to where we are now and I'm not sure I'm done yet. I'm not looking for sympathy or an attaboy. I just wanted everyone to understand why I was reluctant to swap hosts knowing the amount of effort it would take to upload all those images.

Thanks for your efforts Hank. The site is blazing fast right now!

<font face='Comic Sans MS'>Zounds what a difference in access speed. I'm still using dial-up in which speed is akin to watching grass grow. What a difference now. Thanks!!</font id='Comic Sans MS'>

Thanks Hank, you definitely qualify for an "attaboy"! <img src=images/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

You get the attaboys whether you want them or not... good job.
There are going to be a lot more posts on here now but at least we can go thru them much faster.
