Got tired of staring at the "waiting for listerengine.com" sign and went and checked my download speed and it's registering just over 500Kb/s so it isn't me. I guess it could be some server between me and listerengine.com.

Yep, very slow for me as well. I'm on DSL. It took me a couple of days to register because it kept timing out.
Today it seems really slow.
Usually worth the wait ;D

Stan,
Glad to find it's not just me either.My machine has been "timing out" on this site for a couple of weeks.I've also been getting a lot of those fsock open(or simailar) messages when trying to post.still posts though.

Same here....I couldn't even get the site to come up at work on DSL. I'm on LL now...Boo Hoo! But it is working!

fsocket problems really bad last week and cannot send private mail no way no how. Seems a bit better today for just viewing. I`m on dial up.

I thought it was my satellite set up. Glad to hear I not the only one. The PM's have been awful. Did everyone get the invitations to the party? Bill

and i had notice of messages and when i go to read them they go poof!
so i have no idea who or what was sent to me.

Winsock timeout messages are the system/browser telling you that it cannot get a response from the remote site.
There are default settings for this timeout value which I think can be changed with regedit in Win2Kpro but I have never done it myself.
I forget the actual value, but if your browser hasn't got a response back from the remote site then it will flag up the fact with the error message.
This site was uncontactable yesterday for much of the day but was back online last evening.

Is the server running this website hosted in an indian factory powered by a listeriod?
-
I haven't done any snooping, but my guess is that the log files are getting full and that the databases need to be compacted. Clean the machine up and it'll probably run like a German clock. I started out getting the periodic fsock error, and now we've moved onto slow/no response from server and "could not connect to database" errors. Usually this sort of thing is caused by nothing more than disk thrash. Of course, it may be that something that actually makes money runs on this box as well as our little site, and the primary application has gotten busier recently.

slow as slow can be - i got high speed cable - i sacn disk defrag and dump cookies and its fast as heck but not in here - sam

Sam,
It was slow in town last week, even on DSL and high speed....but since we all compained it seemed to speed up a little in the city. However I am in the country now on Slow speed hook up, and expect it to be slower, which it is. I am not timing out yet, and thing are eventually coming through. Am trying to be patient. binnie (enjoy your posts to the forum).

Good one Tugger ;D I have cable modem and its slow here too. Seems to have been that way for weeks now?
-
Went to site early Sunday AM EST USA (trying to beat my son to the computer) and there was a 'website suspended' notice. I spent the day mourning all the lost info that I hadn't gotten to yet. Was back up when I tried later in the day. Has anyone got a hard copy???
BTW Whoever it is that set up and runs this site, THANK YOU
Bill

Anyone else having trouble connecting to the forum today...timing out again, no connection. Works for a few minutes then nothing. Seems up and running in the last 10 min. I wonder for how long.All my other contacts are working..must be the server or a bug in the works. binnie
-
As somebody implied above it's the server that hosting listerengine.com that's slow. It's got nothing to do with your computers or your bandwidth (cable modem, DSL, etc).
I believe user 'rocket' owns the site.

The site is slow and sometimes I cannot access either. If whoever runs this site wants to take up a collection to update the hardware, (if that is what's needed) I will be more than happy to send something to help. How is this site funded? I spend an enormous amount of time lurking here. You guys are great!
