New TGO web host report card. Post your feedback here.

Maybe a little faster, even though I voted C. Really no change. I may notice a little faster page load speed, but not a huge difference. I do not get email, but that is because of comcast, no fault of TGO.

Really glad TGO is not "homeless"!

[KahrMan]

The site seems to be running a little faster. Everything seems to be working great. I clicked B before I finished reading it. I am not having any problems with emails.

Is there any chance we will get the chat function back?

Highly unlikely, at least for the first few months while I gauge our bandwidth usage on the new server. I don't think people really understood how much that thing ate up bandwidth when we used it before.

[Guest abailey362]

is there anyway to use an existant irc server and just use a java client to log into it that won't eat up bandwidth? I'm not sure what the cool kids are using these days, but i used to run on chatspace software years ago and it interfaced with irc flawlessly

I'm sure you are right, because I have no idea about what bandwidth is!

Thank you again for all your work on the site.

Everything is working great for me.

Thanks

Thank you again for all your work on the site.

Sorry; in this sense think of bandwidth as being the odometer on your car. The more data we send from our server, the more the odometer rolls forward. Previously it didn't matter what our odometer read because no one was policing it. These days we are paying monthly for an allocation of "miles driven" and if we go over, then we have to pay a penalty or buy a larger allotment of miles.

The chat feature shoves a lot of data back and forth to the various members using it, so it really makes that odometer spin when it's in use.

Hope that makes it a little clearer.

Seems fine to me. I don't subscribe to threads, so I'm not sure if the e-mails would work or not.

[Guest canynracer]

no change for me...which means perfect!

[Guest gunslinger707]

Are the member classifieds going to be posted to the right on the main screen like before??

Eventually, yes. All things in due time.

[Guest flyfishtn]

Working great for me (never had an issue previously with mail) and speed is consistent.

I have had a couple of times where I drill into a sub-forum area and Explorer or Firefox will "spin" then if I click the link again, it will load. Has only happened 3-4 times total. As info, work ISP is AT&T (10 meg delivered via DS3) and home ISP is AT&T DSL.

Let me know if you need any other info.

[Guest 70below]

Works great! I assume that having user photo accounts is also probably not going to happen again either?

[Guest canynracer]

seems slow today....not sure why, I cleared cache, cookies, all that non-sense...all other sites are lickety split...just seems draggish...since the maintenance.

[Reservoir Dog]

seems slow today....

Same here. Been slow today, and little last night.

[Guest Astra900]

I can navigate the site fairly well, but it takes longer to post a reply than it used to. Not toooo bad though.

[musicman]

I noticed a small slowing today as well. No biggie, but you asked!!
