The Reverend Jim: what does a yellow light mean?
Been my preference for years.I use Adblock plus on Chrome and it works great.
Has it kept you from experiencing the problems on this message board? I will then sign up immediately if it has and thank you.Been my preference for years.
Sometimes it goes back to normal then it slows down again. I mostly post using chrome on my iPhone, but it seems to be a website issue.Slow as molasses and getting slower
No, that's evidentally not the problem with the board problem.Has it kept you from experiencing the problems on this message board? I will then sign up immediately if it has and thank you.
No, that's evidentally not the problem with the board........the slow down is independent of having an ad blocker or not.Has it kept you from experiencing the problems on this message board? I will then sign up immediately if it has and thank you.
Pingdom Website Speed Test
The problem is most likely too many DNS links and/or too many HTTP requests required to render the pages.
If a bot requests information from your site regularly, it can cause it to slow down. This means that the site will be slow for everyone who visits it, which can cause significant issues. Too much bot traffic can take your entire website offline in severe circumstances. Bots can also carry out distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) which can also overwhelm websites with traffic and knock them offline.The 200+ guests (bots?) can't be helping much
FactI could swear that in the past, TexansTalk listed "guests" and "bots" separately..........it seems that now they are both reported consolidated as "guests."
I'm on it .... don't know what if anything I can do but ....All these ads are killing this site. I thought this thread was to report issues but it appears nobody that can do anything or at least report it…are out to lunch. (I’ll take the burger and fries special thank you)
And yes by draft night unless something is done…this site will be completely down or unusable.
It's not an ad problem.So the 10 million ads rendering all over the site have nothing to do with it? Balderdash!
Thanks for anything you can do. Since this has been going on for so long, can you tell us if anybody has reached out to Kevin?I'm on it .... don't know what if anything I can do but ....
I was down, unable to log on, all morning. Came back on about 1PM.Almost 3 hours to login today.
Why don’t you just reach out to him yourself? He’s always made himself accessible to the board members. He’s one of us!Thanks for anything you can do. Since this has been going on for so long, can you tell us if anybody has reached out to Kevin?
You do not know how many times I started to but was not sure how it would be received by others. I wanted to give those like corrosion and double Darrel as much leeway as they needed before I went straight to the owner.Why don’t you just reach out to him yourself?

Breathe. Kevin is our friend. Yours too. Just call him.You do not know how many times I started to but was not sure how it would be received by others. I wanted to give those like corrosion and double Darrel as much leeway as they needed before I went straight to the owner.
It's been good this afternoon speed wise. Guest (bot) numbers are below 200... coincidence?A fix is in progress, we might see up and down service for the next day or so ..... be patient.
thanks. Patience is much easier when we know somebody is trying to address the issue.A fix is in progress, we might see up and down service for the next day or so ..... be patient.
Thanks for your effort.A fix is in progress, we might see up and down service for the next day or so ..... be patient.

I didn't...........but everything on the REPLY toolbar is different and not better............hoping this is only a glitch.Did anyone else today see the message Forum upgrade underway? I tried twice about an hour apart but just now got back in.
The new system was being updated and reportedly "all should be fine, now."Did anyone else today see the message Forum upgrade underway? I tried twice about an hour apart but just now got back in.
Just now got back on using my computer, but slow. Still can't get on using my phone. Getting message:
"PHP 7.0.0 or newer is required. 5.6.40 does not meet this requirement. Please ask your host to upgrade PHP"
I didn't...........but everything on the REPLY toolbar is different and not better............hoping this is only a glitch.
Hope this resolves issues.When trying to highlight and select something, the text is blacked out so that you cannot see exactly what you have highlighted.
