Is it possible to move this forum, complete with everything on it to another server, lock stock etc?. It seems that every time someone posts and I want to answer, some old biddy in Blackburn picks up the phone to talk to her grandkids, and the whole thing crashes ???
We put a bloke on the bloody moon for gods sake, how about being able to post on here without worrying about if some pensioner is putting the kettle on at the same time in Blackburn?

I post on a football forum from time to time and they had a similar problem of not being able to cope with the amount of users. They moved to another larger(and more expensive) server, with the result all forum members had to pay £10 to help pay for the hosting fees.
Not sure we want to go down that route ?
-
its never crashed on me mate must be your internet connection
-

bit harsh calling Trevor Perry a biddie ;D ;D

If you have to pay to access the forum the management would lose the right to ban people, me included ;D

There are still rules, but it does make the issue of banning a bit more contentious.

This is a busy forum, but still any half decent hosting service should provide the required processing power and bandwidth easily, and at no extra expense.
The fault may be with the forum software (SMF 1.0 RC1) which is about 8 years old and has never been upgraded,..

there are more and more faults with the forum software, for one the older version does not like the new versions of MS ie

This is the "Release Candidate 1" software,.. not even the official SMF 1.0!!
Forum software is free. Personally I prefer the YaBB powered forums.

Nice point, but all other pages load fast, so therefor it must be CIU. For those who haven't seen it crash, just ask Matt Bateman. By the way, even if we do have to pay, Matt should still be banned ;D

i hope something gets done soon because its really getting on my tits now i am getting to the stage now i can make a cuppa waiting for pages to load and before anyone says it;s my Internet i have 20meg and its only this site that is slow :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Every other window cleaning forum I'm on is really quick,.. CIU seems to be getting slower by the day ;(
-
the problem imho is likely to be CIU is on a shared server , the shared server could have got busier and might now be hosting another busy forum that is UK based, thus the server is trying to cope with too much
-
If it stays this slow, I might have to go over to acsforums ;)

OK you don't get the same high quality racism or bigotry over there, but it's the trade off ;D ;D ;D

Is it only the Window Cleaning Section that is slow/
Just wondering because it has 250000 extra replies than the carpet cleaning section.
But know nothing about technical side.

Good point. The carpet section loads really fast compared to the window cleaning section.
