Getting very frustrated with this site!

Why does this site continually have server problems???? Twice this morning, I've typed replies and lost them due to server issues. It seems as though this forum is dying a slow death and that is a shame. It used to be a very good forum, but I find myself spending more time elsewhere. IMHO, just another indication of Good Sam Enterprises continuing to decline on so many levels. Is the management concerned at all about their apparent demise?
  • I haven’t had much trouble. Sorry that you’re having issues. I know it can be very frustrating at times. Jerry Parr
  • What portal (Internet address) are you using to connect ?
    IF....you change to a different one, it is highly likely that ALL of your problems will go away.
    For instance, try: forums.goodsamclub.com
    There are a couple of others too.
    Same username, same password and exactly the same content.
    You shouldn't be able to tell ANY difference.....except that it WORKS.
  • FWIW, the server problems are nothing new. This site has had a funky server for as long as I can been posting here. Not sure why, except this was once a very popular forum, and unless you have run a forum server, you would have a hard time understanding what happens behind the scenes.

    Cyber attacks happen weekly, spam bots attack daily, idiots get on here posting spam. It is a daily battle I am certain, and almost a full time job.

    Don't be too hard on the Admin, as keeping a site like this up and running is not easy. Too many outside people/bots/cyber attacks making an Admin's life miserable.
