Hey Ham,

Hope you've hooked up with David by now, member list says his last post was today. Did I miss it or did you try to PM him?

X Marks site has been slow for me today too...ironic though, had a bunch of trouble getting on the imff site the last couple weeks, seems to have cleared...maybe the transatlantic cable or satelite is messed up?

I've had a few troubles over the last couple of days also. Logging in has been nearly normal, but I've experienced some delays in posting. I've also experienced problems with Firefox loading the start page (Google) i have selacted though. I'm sure that if there are any real problems with the site, Hank will take care of them as soon as he can.

I like wise have found that I am being logged out after a short period of time, over the past 24 hours or so. With the exception of the current log on.

It been slow off and on for the last week of so - earlier tonight it was slow, but it's fast enough right now.

I wonder if the trouble might be search engine spiders crawling the site.

The site is moving just fine for me tonight but I have had issues with it for the last couple of days. I'm assuming that the issue is part of the same problem we've had in the last few months being that the server is shared with another application that is apparently a heavily hit one. It just slows XMarks down.

As far as David goes (this to Hamish) I recently received a new sporran from him and had some questions and have had no issues communicating with him.

That all being said there IS a new worm floating around the net. I've not had an obvious issue with it but the ISP's are probably scanning more traffic ih order to mitigate the problems. This could well slow down things AND perhaps interrupt some email traffic.

Hope that's all it is.

The few problems I've had have been chalked up as part the internet experiance. Knowing a bit about the tech running in the background helps keep the frustration level down too. :grin:

It is also possible that Ham's eMail is being treated as Spam by a spam filter or the ISP, and Ham's messages may not be making to his inbox. I would try PM and see if he responds.
