Thread Name: Tech: Mudcat slow? - Max, what do you need?
Subject: RE: Tech: Mudcat slow?
I've had the impression that the site has been "off for maintenance" about once per week recently, since I occasionally get "offline by operator" or "site not found" errors. In my time zone it's been mostly Sunday/Monday in the wee hours, when few people in the US would be likely to see it.

When everything is working, opening the site and/or a thread sometimes seems to take a little longer, but isn't a problem for me, since I have no schedule or deadlines to meet.

I have had a few cases, when posting, that take me back to the front page, but my post doesn't appear when I reopen the thread. In those few cases I've been able to "Back" and copy my post, refresh, and resubmit successfully. I assume the server is just a little overloaded and I suffered a "collision" with someone else's senseless blather (unlike my very important stuff).

I've got a lot of old worn out stuff that doesn't work like it used to (My ass, my feet, and sometimes parts higher up). Mudcat is still working better than lots of it, so I'm not bothered much with having to work a little with it.
