The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

Both Kevin and I are aware of it and we are working to fix these issues. It will require some work that will require the forum to be offline for an extended period (day or two)

Sorry for your inconvenience at this time.

Folks,

To fix the speed problems, we need to pull the message database off the site, compact it, and put it back up, as a first step. That may fix the problem for a while.

As far as we can tell, the prolem is actually two problems, not one:

First, I think our web hosting service has oversubscribed the server we are on. Sometimes, even the static pages, like the home page, don't come back, or come back very slowly. But this is relatively rare, and will happen sometimes with any provider.

Second, we are using a "static page" web hosting account to run a database driven site. This means that we are using more CPU power than the hosting company expects, and we don't have any standing to complain about database access speed because we are not using a database site. But changing to a database site on our current provider requires that we move the database from Access to MSQL, which will take a bit of work if we decide to go that way.

So, bottom line, we can't fix it quickly, and we can't really complain to the hosting company about it effectively.

I plan to work with Paul and Duane to fix this over the next month or so, but right now I am spending about an hour a day answering election related "how do I vote" and "what is the password" emails, which are very important, but use up all the time I have to contribute to the organization.

I hope the site struggles along well enough to keep us going until we can get time to get it sorted out.

Duane, As to inconvenince, sure, it is, but I also realize that you guys are volunteering your time and efforts. I only posted the error I saw, and only after a number of instances, in the hope that it might be useful information.

And we're glad you did. No way to know if you are having problems unless you let us know. This time, we happen to know about it.

Fair winds,

existential/duane/kevin - Is it possible that you can place this information in the General Forum? It might get better coverage and more people will understand the issues. I also want to thank you for your response, I was experiencing the same problems and was ready to post a question until your response.

I don't know what it would involve, but the forum software used on Sailing Anarchy really rocks.

Mike, done.

Frank, I don't think it is Snitz, my opinion only, Paul and Duane can chime in here if they wish.

Existential: Changing software would require converting the database of messages, which would be a big pain...

A Snitz version upgrade would be nice... it would make the editing problem of the insert jumping to the end rather than being placed at the curser go away.

To All the web page masters we have working for us.
Thank you for what ever it is your doing to keep this forum working because I have absolutely no idea what you've been discussing

.
Please remember that some of us wrote Fortran IV programs on IBM punch cards during the pre historic computer age.

I know how to click on favorites then to the forum and go from there to the topic that interests me.
Thanks again for everything to make this one of the best sites for the "pocket cruiser/racer" with limited computer skills

This evening it's been the tar pits (during certain periods)... but you probably knew that. Fortran? Try Autocoder, MAP, and binary machine language. Done 'em all. I've even wired peg-boards to program unit-record machines (card sorters, calculating punches, calculating printers, etc.) I am indeed OLD. But in this era, few prospective members and buyers have that perspective.

Punch cards, boy does that bring back memories. I remember how some folks would take the old ones and make wreaths out of them. Fold them and spray paint them.
Never appealed o me, but to each their own.

But do you have any 8" floppies? I wonder if I can find my card deck for loading the monitor into an IBM 650...

I have a few 12", 5.25 and the gizmo to make the 5.25 double sided... Although a regular hole punch worked too.

So I don't have a clue what it is that you folks are talking about.

Since I have been writing code since I was eleven, I can play this game. I wrote machine language code by punching out the holes in prepunch 80 col punch cards with a toothpick (I am not making this up, it was a school thing). The programs ran on a computer hand built by the EE dept at Orange Coast College.

I also wired the pegboards that controlled the original IBM punch card equipment that preceeded computers. Sorters, collaters, printers, that kind of thing.

Those were NOT the good old days. Now I sit having breakfast a couple of blocks from work, connected via Verizon wide area wireless, watching the futures market, catching up on my email, and chatting with you guys. These ARE the good days... :-)

My introduction to computing was with the military's AN-UYK 20 (aka Yuk 20) which had no monitor. All operator I/O functions were via the octal switch/LED panel.
