Site is unusably slow

[webmaster]

Sorry about the problem. It is the forum, not you.

The problem started early on Tuesday morning. The problem is with the ad display software. Whenever an ad is displayed an error occurs and the rest of the page doesn't load until the error times out. This takes about a minute.

Tapatalk works fine since it doesn't display those ads. The forum can be used if you wait a minute between pages. Painfully slow, I know.

For several years I have contracted a consultant (Nick) who helps me with software and database issues that are beyond my experience. He has always been great but now I haven't been able to reach him. He did log in to the server this weekend but I think he may be on holiday now.

I worked on it most of yesterday without success. I had to go out today and hoped that Nick would surface. I will try a few more things tonight if I don't hear from him.

Again, I apologize for the problems. They have been rare. I'll try to get things working properly soon.
