Site is back better

It is really lightning fast this morning. Thank you!

Payne prolly did it.

Now if we could install that filter that blocks folks that wake up miserable, full of hate, "hit back harder" (my personal favorite ), and want to fight the world...that'd be great.

Still slow for me, hopefully they get the bugs worked out soon.

Well it is back to slow now. Beats nothing.

Agree on both. Good attitude bobcat.

Agree agrea agere

Working much better for me this morning. Thanks, team!

It’s a chit show again today, my 1995 dial up was faster but hopefully a fix is being worked on.

Certainly faster than yesterday

Working fine for me.

Working good for me this AM

Like watching a turtle going across the road backwards.

Slowed down again.

Working good for me today (Thur 8/24) so far . . .

Not really. 1253pm.

12:41pm


guess I jinxed it - gremlins are back now for me too - 12:56pm

The struggle is real, reminds me of the late 90's AOL dial-up!

Has any of the powers that be explained anything about what's going on?

Was working good this morning, now I’m watching molasses run in winter!

At 3am it’s super fast. During the day not so much.

I'll have to set my alarm....

Probably global warming.

Cricket's.

The Band-Aids must have fallen off this afternoon. It's timing out and/or very slow. And I've got Gigabit speeds and no issues w/ other sites.

I think it's because the number of people on it. I think we're in the need of a re-work or upgrade. But I could be wrong. Because I'm just a nobody here!

SUCKS

HaHa. Most of us are "nobody's" on here!

Having to double clutch everything, to get it to post

There are very few left that even know what "double clutch" means.

Well, it's good to know I'm in good company. Lol.

Haha, This old man does.

Is it?

Well it was better for a while, a little while

It must've been 'Built back better' cause it sure as hell aint working now

Seems to have something to do with https. I keep getting the message that it is not available on this site even though it sometimes is. Plain old http probably works faster but is not as secure so I don't use it.

This is the internet. Just get on that keyboard and be somebody, anybody you want to be.

It works great at 1am

Not @ 0202

horribly slow at 05:26

Sloooooooow for me!

Really slow @ 6:06 .

X 2

An explanation would help. Crickets. Guess we all need to donate to the cause if we want this site fixed. Been years since I donated a hundred for you Pumpkin Heads to search , sell and complain.

Slow again

Working now 6:51

Still slow for me at 07:38

I wonder how much of the issue is due to ad serv

This is becoming almost unusable.

I hit "Preview" of a post I'd typed on Hunting Gear. It just deleted it. It was verbose, so...maybe AI is interceding?

You think this one is bad, you should try TFF.

Isn't TFF the exact same layout and antiquated platform and server?

I get more actual timeouts on TFF.

I can’t tell it It took about 40 seconds for this post to load.

I don’t have an explanation of why the forums are slow, and I wouldn’t understand the technical reasons for why it’s happening. As was said in one of the other threads on this topic, it is being worked on.

Thanks Duck. Thought everybody in Power was asleep.

Shut it down.

I could probably recoup 20-25 hours a year.

They're taking up donations over on the TFF!

Slower than Joe..

This and TFF are slow but the Bowhunting forum is non existent most of the time. Yet non-hunting/fishing sites are all blazing fast.

Are most of you guys that are over here, over there, too? I thought about joining over there, but hear too much about them being a bunch of flaming liberals. I'll probably pass. I have to watch my blood pressure, lol.

Awfully slow for me. Hope they can fix it.

They have several. It's a target rich environment.

I only joined to find a dock fishing spot. There are quite a few true weirdos and libs over there for sure. I didn't request Bunker access there because of my blood pressure!

"This site cannot be reached

texashuntingforum.com took too long to respond"

Give it another 30 seconds and the command goes through.

Didn't for me. Can't get a new thread to go through.....barely got to respond to this.

So what is this double clutching for posting?

Super slow still…

Put a fork in it!

Time to decide who the favorite 100 are.

Oh, I'm definitely in! Lmfao

I feel I’m like 130-140. Need to increase my value a little.

From
Google to THF off topic in under 6 seconds. 1137pm

It’s fast now, for the moment.

Yep.........Lets see for how long though.

Extremely slow here but I am only on here early usually. Might be fine other times.

It comes and goes. It's like a race car with a clogged fuel filter.

Ok, this morning but TFF still sucks.

Few times its been a little slow.
Then in todays fast pase world. Tis the simple things.

ta thise who been keeping the forum going.

Its running good today.

morning ta all.

I thought that was normal for them.

Don't act like you don't visit there.

Running well this morning....hope it holds up.

I've been clean for at least a month.

Not better..."pay that man his money" and get this slow roller back up and running! 45 seconds to load one page...ugh, like watching paint dry.

Still good on my end

More like; Constipated and waiting on Ex-lax

That, too.

We'll have it fixed soon.

Thank you!

Not really any better.

Looks like Joe.

But Tim Conway, in that character, made more verbal sense than Joe.

Even in death, TC makes more sense than pedo Joe.

True!

Man you guys got me crackin' up.

Adding a pic to a post took 6 tries it kept timing out

It's not fixed but I haven't paid a dime to post so it's fine if JP says it'll get fixed.

Not even mad about being fired with no explanation.

Dang, sorry to hear that. They at least owed you that.

Mucho better this evening!

Yep so far

Way better, thanks to everyone that got it back

Still off and on here.

Great right now.

What about now? Working great here two hours ago but now stuck again.

Yep still slow

Still having some lag turning pages over and this site can't be reached page.

Same here trying from my phone. Finally just gave up.

Still sucks

It's bad. My post are getting through, but it turns pages over so slow that it times out. Reminds me of the old dialup internet.

I did accidentally stumble on a way to post without losing my post altogether. If you try to post and it times out with a "This site can't be reached" , on that page click your refresh or swipe down on a phone and it will give you a page that says, Confirm Form Resubmission. So far I haven't lost a post when I've had to use it.

Just timed out again.

2114

Slow

Pretty slow for me most of the time. Sometimes seems OK.

Lightning fast early am

THF & TFF both working good this morning. Hopefully it not temporary

If it stays up,,,, and you enjoy the Site,,,, Time to get that THF Membership sent in. You'll see it by your Name when you post it.

The memberships are good for the life of your account.

Active Member - $25 - pay with PayPal



Team Member - $50 - pay with PayPal



Trophy Member - $100 - pay with PayPal

Give me more PMs allowed and I'd do it. I'm sure the site has made way more than $100 off of me as the product for advertisers (which I still believe is the cause of it being slow right now)

I've saved way more than 100.00 on deals posted on here, and it wasn't advertisers posting them.

What's so dang hard about deleting a few PMs?

I don't do PayPal.

Me either. The only other option they give is to send them a check. In this day and time, I'm leary of doing that because of the account# on the check. I can't even remember the last time I wrote a check.

If they had a Visa, MasterCard, ect.direct transaction, no problem.

This. I only write 1 check a year to my LO.

They take money order's also.

I don't know why I didn't remember that when I Iooked at it. Selective memory?

Well, it was better this morning, but now seems worse than ever.

Seems like it is always better in the morning, probably when everyone logs in it gets bogged down. But gezzz, Joe is slow but he’s old. SMH

This site is so s-s-s-s-s-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w. It's like watching rain starved, drought stricken dead grass grow.

Grandma was slow but she died in a trot!

and we're back to timeout's every few seconds

Slower than molasses in winter.

But certain rules, albeit very arbitrarily, are applied with lightning quickness, almost like a "blitzkrieg".

I know, I know..."Notes taken."

I've been away for a few hours, and it seems noticeably slower...if that's even possible!

Has anyone heard an explanation or timeline on fixing this? Been going on several days now. Just curious

It's here and TFF. My computer times out on both and everything else is almost an instant response.

I’m not timing out but it is slow.

We are well over two weeks of slow. It is pretty frustrating to check in only to struggle and burn time and effort trying to make a post or catch up what is going on.
I hope they have this fixed soon.

About to throw my hands up and just come back in a couple of months and see if things are better.

Wonder if it’s a DDOS attack?

Idalia is about to be a bad day for Floridians. I suspect they are prepping and making sure their stuff does not blow away so give it a minute and we will be back to regular programming shortly.

Hey guys...the site is working normal to me again. It's been first time in a while.

Slower than molasses at 40 below for me…..

Would be nice if the management team would chime in and tell us what the problem is and what date the problem will be fixed by!!! They are certainly Johnny on the spot if you violate rules or policy.

We are customers. Some more directly than others. Yes, someone in the know should give an update, even if it is a simple one. Something is better than nothing.

Getting, this site can't be reached pages all the time. Every now and then a page will turn over lightening fast, but for the most part it's like watching paint dry, with a little agitation mixed in.

I may have to get a new mouse because of over using the clicker.

It’s good a.m
Sucks p.m.

C'mon man! Is it really that hard to get good service? It's is 2023 after all!

This place is a [censored] storm at best, maybe it’s all the wanna be closet democrats sucking the life out if it…..

This may be part of the “Inflation reduction act” or “Build back better plan”. Seems to be working the way democrats want it to. If it ain’t broke, we’ll fix it till it is. LOL.

Slow as Biden here.

Yep, slow as molasses for me.

I have been trying to just get on the site several tries a day for several days. I’ve just tried on phone so maybe that’s it.
I’m getting out of habit of getting in. Moving on to other things.

I'm right behind you. Maybe there's a method to the madness.

I have been bragging about how good this site was as TBH and 2cool went down the tubes - sorry to say THF is now having the same issues -very very slow

All good things must come to an end.

I've been on a private forum with as little as 7 active members. I think I can hang on.

Does anyone have a clue why rhis is happening, and if it'll get better?

About the only thing said is "they're working on it.'

I heard it’s because there are too many TFF people.

That's not at all my experience. It was bad at 4:00 AM today and it's bad right now.

Never thought I would watch a computer BUFFER again, it is 2023

THF
TFF
TBH

All Suck

It's none of my business, but if this was my site and it had issues, I would at least come on here and explain to everyone what the basic problem is and some sort of timeline.

They keep getting timed out when they try

The fix is close.

You have to identify the problem first.

Slow a chit for me on all my devices even when connected to wifi

I had just about given up. Right now is as good as it’s been in a week. I hope the issues are resolved. If the owner would stop taking the multimillion dollar bonuses and reinvest into the site I’m sure it would run better. All the money we pay for access to THF, all the people have a reason to complain.

Lmfao

I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

It's probably going fast right now because all the TFF people are taking labor day nap right now.

No better or worse than any other time in the last couple weeks.

I am fine myself.

The silver lining is it's lightning fast when I hit the back button.

This is like the covid cure.

I feel it’s the flux capacitor.

50% sucks, 50% decent. One wouldn't think it would be that hard to figure out if it's your business.
