Thank you Tara. I was beginning to wonder about ES. Good to know Mels is aware of the problem. Thanks for all you guys do behind the scenes. Rarely see some people on anymore....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/marilynbybrandon_190.gif) There have been a lot of days lately where I am getting an error message 'server not found'...So far it's been that way as long as 5 days in a row.
Another problem is that I cannot see the latest posts...then I'll get back on the boards and it will say 'yesterday' or such and such a date before I can see them. Also: haven't been able to upload my new items as I promised...there's a long pause...then doesn't upload. |

Hi everyone,
As Tara explained we are experiencing technical difficulties with ES. Most of you have been here for a very long time now so you probably remember that we have been facing this issue several years ago. Back then, after several months we had found a way to improve things, moved everything to a new server and changed the way the boards and sites are hosted. For a while it worked. And then things started getting bad again. We are doing everything that is possible to make things work all right again but it's complicated, it takes a lot of time, and on the top of that we don't know exactly what is causing the issue. We have strong suspicions about the boards and think that they might be causing the issue. The code is old and can't be maintained and there is no way to upgrade to a newer solution, so if the code is causing this, we'll keep having issues. Another possibility is that there are MANY files hosted; heavy ones to boot. It's one of the greatest strengths of this community but also its weakness in terms of server space, performance, reliability (and cost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile1.gif) )). We need to find the cause to all this in order to see if there is something we can do to prevent it from happening. It's a long and complicated process but we're working on it. In the meantime, we are doing everything in our power to improve the situation, but I can't promise we will be able to solve this problem for good. To be more concrete: we moved everything again this weekend. In the process, links to the pictures were broken but we fixed that right away. It stopped working again a few hours ago and we have put them up again, Stacy it's all fine now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile1.gif) I am deeply sorry about the frustration this is causing to all of you. Please be assured that we are aware of this and trying to find solutions, as much as we can, time & budget-wise. Cheers!

I know Mels and others are working on solving problems at ES, but it has gotten ridiculous. Can you let us know what is happening and if there is any hope of ES returning to normal. Haven't been able to see photographs in such a long time. It has gotten frustrating for the members and especially no updates of what is going on.
Thank you Mels for your hard work on restoring ES. |
