Multiple Problems Loading Forum

No problems here lately with this site, but some other places are slow: when I can type or click faster than a site can respond, it's gotta be slow.

Well this is what I get when I try to load the Gauge.....

"This page can’t be displayed

•Make sure the web address <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.the-gauge.net">http://www.the-gauge.net</a><!-- m --> is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes."

Some times it takes a few tries before I can open up the page.

Just a guess from one who's pretty-well computer illiterate, but would it help if you used the address bigbluetrains.com, as in the logo at the top of this page, rather than the-gauge.net?

Note that <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.the-gauge.net">http://www.the-gauge.net</a><!-- m --> is a valid address and will remain so, but it uses a redirect to http://bigbluetrains.com/forum/index.php, so you would be better off regardless as Wayne says, to use this address. I'm not sure why people are getting these timeout messages, but we us GoDaddy as a server and I guess it can become really busy at times. I've seen slow access occasionally, but it's been a long time since I've seen a timeout. Let's face it, this is the Internet and it surprises me at times that it works at all. :o Problems with servers, ISP's, or just 10,000,000 people trying to download the latest Netflex movie at the same time can jam up the pipeline.

What I'm saying is that, if we go down, we can fix it, if we are slow, there's not much we can do but have patience.
