howdy all,

a few people have said they have had problems accessing the forum with page time outs and longer than usual page loading times.

we are not experts on this and are doing our best to make the forum a great experience for all.

we are trying to analyze the mountain of performance data that our web hosting company provides us.

scott did make some changes that we think has improved page loading times and made the site a little faster.

we would welcome your comments. the forum is getting quite a lot of action in terms of people accessing it.

we are also starting to be grow in storage space. i have just put a limit on the size of pictures you can upload to the forum. 1 mb is the new limit. before it had no limit and now that we have thousands of pictures it is consuming web space and bandwidth as they are accessed.

we will keep looking to see if there is something else we need to do for hosting the forum.

if you see improved responsiveness, please feel free to let us know. likewise if you have any problems, let us know

frequently people have trouble logging in. that is usually because you cant remember your password, or you changed it and your cookies are remembering the old password. in those cases, you can request a new password on the login page. we can also reset it for you if you have problems.

feel free to email us at [email protected] if you need help or contact me or any of the moderators/admins and any one of us will do all that we can to help you.

be patient with us, as newellgurus continues to grow, we are learning how to deal with it from a forum perspective.

we never claimed to be pros at this. just have a strong desire to have fun with it.

thanks

tom and scott
