Keep this forum alive.

[Patrice Terrier]

Since a few days i only have random access to this forum.

If you remember well, 6 monthes ago (in august 2011) there was a major server collapse that forced José to restore everything, and it was a very long process to put his forum back on track (tooks me more than a whole week work just to restore my own contributions).

I think it is time to help José to keep his forum alive, giving him the money to buy a new server he could manage directly.

Then, what do you think of starting a subscription to keep this forum alive ?

José, perhaps you already have a paypal account, where we can send you the money ?

Hi Patrice,

Thanks for your good intentions, but I don't want to have my own server. My free time is limited now and I can not waste it dealing with internet providers, fighting spammers, making backups, etc. In the past six months I have been unable to do anything new, and I'm above all a programmer, not a forum manager. Let's see if I can find a convenient solution.

José,

My main concern was to find a solution to protect you from another major server collapsus, like the one that occured last year.

Some providers are offering mirroring and automatic backup, then you do not have to do it yourself, and in case of problem they can restore everything in a matter of hours...

But this service would come at a price, and i think it would be legitimate that you don't have to support the extra charge yourself...

By the way i have now a complete copy of all the ZIP files i have posted here, just in case we have to restore them again

José--

Far from being stupid, I think it could be the most convenient option. No need to visit another forum, no need to spend money, easier access and communication...

Hum hum... i think that would be the end.

What i like in your forum is that, even if we could have some preference, we are not infeodated to one specific language, this is something of much value for many of us.

From today 12:00 we are "over the bridge" with the forum.

After that time nobody should get any errors and we should have the same good loading times like ever.

[Frederick J. Harris]

Came right up for me instantly Theo!    Thank you very much!  And Jose too!

[Theo Gottwald]

I'll discard the whole topic later, as it doesn't make much sense.
The forum is alive and it will be alive unless Jose wants it to die.

[Patrice Terrier]

It is better, but still not perfect by me.
(especially when i want to edit my existing messages)

Anyway, thank you both,  for all your efforts !

...

[Theo Gottwald]

To my information, we are now ready for ten times the amount of users then until now.
I can say that here i have perfect performance.

If your performance is worth i doubt its because of the forum.

Theo,

The problem i have, is only with this forum when i click on any of the links inside of it.

I do not encounter problems with other web-site.

I am using IE9, most of the time, but i shall make some tests with FireFox and Chrome to see how it goes.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

This one is posted from Chrome, and it seems to run just fine.

...

[Patrice Terrier]

This one is done from Mozilla FireFox, and it seems to work as good as Chrome, except when i press on the save button from the Editor.

[Theo Gottwald]

I also use Chrome. Its really fast.

[Patrice Terrier]

[Theo Gottwald]

IE 6 and Chrome are actually my prefered browsers.
While i had to drop IE 6 because Jose doesn't like it 

Now from here with Google Chrome, the forum is really fast.

Anybody out there using Chrome and still suffering with performance problems?
