Actually should be fine now...are you experiencing differently?

 

[jstar]

Yes still issues with FM, quite often a time out on server message. But it is improving.

Up till yesterday ya , not extreme , just difficulty logging on sometimes .

Ok, keep me updated if it gets worse. But as of right now, the server is healthy.

I haven't seen any improvement with a "This site can't be reached" message for the first time just then and lengthy wait times for site to load over the last couple of days.

When I log on it doesn't load and I get a message but it quickly reverses and loads proper

Me too...I get 'this site cannot be reached'....... but if I wait an little while the site appears as normal although it does appear slower than before.

Still having issues of not being able to connect.

Looks like there are some new issues with the hosts DNS server. They are working on it, and hopefully will have everything restored today.

Problems should be resolved now. If you're on indihome or first media you may need to reset the modem again (turn off for 3 minutes, turn back on).

Lately I’m having a lot of issues assessing the forum. Very often a login is not executed. Typed text will not be posted, it simply disappears after posting. And the amount of advertisements and pop-ups is staggering. (Mainly Tai Chi, dating for seniors and belly fat. And no, I did not Google these words.)

Esp. on iPhone and iPad and on Telkomsel it’s almost unworkable. It’s like trying to read the online version of Detik or Kompas. On WiFi somewhat better but also there quite some problems.

I do not claim to be especially skilful regarding computer usage, however, you might download Free Ad Block. It will ofen try and direct you to use Premium Ad Block for which there is a fee. Otherwise it has worked pretty well for me. If you are not already using it you might set Google Chrome as your default browser.

From what I read, the Tai Chi for seniors is a scam.

No problem on my side. Samsung, Android.

Clear the cache will help log in etc

Ads also I get a lot, not much can do with that, some are annoying they cover the whole page and you have to find the close or X or little arrow to click on to get the forum screen

Try the free Ad block.

You guys are free to use an adblock, it's your prerogative, but how do you think this forum is running? The ads we have currently are just enough to cover our hosting fees.

 

[harryopal1]

I understand your dilemma. Would a free trial fee of say six months and then an annual fee for members of say $5 make a useful means of covering hosting etc? Would that deter users or perhaps that sort of income would be ridiculously low?

We thought about it but then decided it is best to continue the way things are. It's mostly due to not wanting to deal with the level of entitlement we would face from a small but specific number of members if they became paying members.

You should fix the edit feature so there's a time limit and then has to be mod approved or a new post.

Tired of reading posts and then an hour later they have been amended edited a lot

Edit should be for typo within 5 mins.

If you want to change or add whole swathes of text it should be a new post.
