Yep, I am having the same problem too. Took 30 minutes to get to Chevy Chatter this morning and once there the pages are loading very slowly.

Our server ran out of memory and was killing inputs.

Cleared everything and rebooted... better... but.... I'm sensing that it's still not rocket speed.

A little after midnight and the Hosting Company has up back up and running.

Things are working -- but they seem sluggish to me.

Please try CHAT and post your findings here. Unfortunately, people will be departing early tomorrow (oops, today) for the Thanksgiving time off.

So we may not get too much more support until next Monday.

Good Morning All and Happy Thanksgiving! Chatter is still VERY slow as of 8 AM EST. Up to a minute for the pages to load.

Bill, thanks for all you do to keep this going. We really do appreciate your efforts.

All the Best, Chip

Just after 7AM CST. It's taking 30 seconds to several minutes per page to load. At least I have access to Chat today as opposed to yesterday. Don't you love computers. laugh

I was on Chevy Chatter late last night when the site came back up. It was moving very fast at that time. However, this morning (7:06 AM PST) Chevy Chatter is moving very, very slow. At least we got it back though!

The site is moving fairly fast now for my dial-up. Let's hope that it stays this way throughout the weekend.

Did this happen about this time last year too? I vaguely recall some kind of slow down or site operation problem?

Yes, I think it did... and we suffered due to the low number of support people working between Thanksgiving Thursday and Sunday.

Final word on our Tuesday outage. I talked by phone with one of the senior system administrators today. He said that our "cluster" of servers were upgraded to a larger cluster with a different software operating program. We were in a group of about 100 clients. Unfortunately, some of the other clients had come over from another company that they merged with a few months ago. It seems that some of them were on accounts which allowed 245 mb of storage - yet they were using 8 gig!!! Once they found this out, they suspended the top ten clients. togo

So, the outage was not caused in any way by our users, or our software. It was the fault of the hosting company. And for our trouble (and my 17 hour involvement), they offered to credit us with $50. hummmmm.....

So now we're back and running again at full speed. And if my observation is correct, the new speed is actually faster than what we had before. yipp

So... bang away - and let's see if we can go another 8 months without an "event".... driving

Thanks again for all your heroic efforts, Bill!!!

In my former working life (Tech Writer for IBM mainframe products), I heard many stories of 'challenges' when business' merged and large systems had to merge also. The system integration was VERY difficult and, of course, had to be done on an aggressive schedule.

All my best, Dean

Man....Chevy Chatter sure has had its fair share of problems with previous hosts and servers in the past. Let's hope that this host doesn't turn out to be yet another problem.

Got out of the Navy in 62, went to work for the CRI&PRR shortly thereafter. Was making 1.64 per hour than, with double time or triple time if needed. Man, I was making good money!!
