Namaste HDF,

For some reason, all day today I've been having technical issues with the site. Sometimes the forums won't load no matter how long I wait, and thus I have to hit Refresh (sometimes multiple times!), and even that's not guaranteed to work. Sometimes I get an error message in my browser that simply says "Database Error" with not much description beyond (once again) hitting Refresh.

There also was one person who tried to send a PM to me, and I had no notification of it until like 15 minutes or so after it was sent. (And I got no email notification, even though my settings are set to send me one with each PM.) Again I had to hit Refresh multiple times to send a reply.

Are other people having these issues, or just me? I would also like to note that I tried accessing the forums from two locations - my work computer, and my tablet on my home Wi-Fi.

I know Satay and the other mods are busy people, but if I could have some idea of what's going on I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Namaste,
Yes, I am experiencing the same issues. I will be changing hosting companies soon as the support from the current hosting provider sucks.

Namaste.

I am also experiencing the same issues (which I raised last month when HDF was going through similar difficulties).

I'm glad Satay is doing something about it, finally...because it is quite annoying.

Aum Namah Shivaya

Namaste, Necro,

Maybe I am not reading your message right but it is not 'Finally that I am doing something about it.' The problems are intermittent and I have no control over the hosting companies servers and I learnt yesterday that they sold their company. The new company/owners don't seem to have the same direction as previous owners regarding customer service and support. Therefore, my decision to move on. It will require a bit of planning to move the site to another provider so be patient.
