Website slowing down and crashing

I may be wrong...but I think the addition of all the pictures on this site is bogging it down.
I say that because it takes a while when I first come on now and it states that it is downloading images.
I also am getting kicked off every other time I come on.
Peace,

Maybe you'll have better luck now White Shaman.

I went to asnwer yours & Mia's questions on another thread, and the server kicked me off the forum, and said that they were doing maintenance..

Ha! How's that for rude! Hahaha....

Yes that also happened to me earlier, doing maintenance.

I think that response is the standard response when it crashes but I may be wrong.
But your right..the nerve of these people! ha!

I would like to apologize for the problems with the Website slowing down and crashing. A paid forum host would most likely fix this issue. This forum host is free and by moving to another host would be difficult to move all posts. Just needed to add i am having same problems from time to time, please try to be patient & If it gets any worse please let me know and i will work on resolving this issue. I apologize once again for any inconvenience.

Many Blessings

No need to apologize!
I can live with the website crashing Spirit-Being but not with you crashing. Just take of yourself first. It’s not that bad and in fact today I have had no problems at all with the website.
Glad to see you back!

I agree with White Shaman.

Your health comes first..
And I haven't had any problems today at all, either...

Ive had problems off and on. Sometimes where if there is a bad sttorm where the host is it creates problems..

Has anyone had trouble with the smilies? many are not showing up here on this pc i was just wondering if anyone else is having problems with anything and if you are please let me know & i will do my best to fix these issues, thanks guys.

Many Blessings

Sometimes the smilies won't show up. And sometimes the avatars won't show up either...

I assumed it was just my computer having problems...

I had trouble for 2 days getting on here and posting... and I no longer see any of your profile pics at all.........

My apologies my friends, i just went over to our forum host and found many people are having issues with their forums crashing, blank pages, lost images, and maintenance problems. I am looking into it now & i thank you all for being so patient, i have read some posts from other forum administrators saying that the members on other forums are really upset with the problems that are going on. You guys are great and i just wanted to show my appreciation to all of you. The issue will be fixed soon.

Many Blessings

No Worries Spirit Being....

I wouldn't have said anything at all, because I just assumed it was my computer acting up....

Anyway, this is still a wonderful site to be a member of.....

I would mention to them that everytime I do something it is trying to download over 100 images and I think the problems are resulting from not waiting until they download completely.
I think we either have too many images or the site has too little memory or power.
Thanks

Ha ha I thought it was only me, I can see my new avatar, not my old one, but I could only see one or two of the other members avatars, only one smiley seems to be available
