Getting very frustrated with this site!

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.

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.

I haven’t had much trouble. Sorry that you’re having issues. I know it can be very frustrating at times. Jerry Parr

I guess you get what you pay for......

There are a few ways to get into the site. Some of the older links don't work as well.

Try this one. I haven't had any issues since using this one.

as to a slow death, the actual forum mechanics of this forum has been horrible for as long as I can recall. I've gotten to where I ctrl-C every reply before hitting post message just to be safe...

Sadly it seems like many folks have gone elsewhere, but for me I keep on keeping on here. I don't do any of the social media things, so my options are limited.

And you don't take the suggestions to use a different portal to connect......WHY EXACTLY ??

It is a PITA but I have found out that it is a bogus reply. Your response actually shows up. I get it all the time. I hit the back button and all is good.

I use RV.NET and don’t have any issues.

none for me either
