Thread: log in and timed out

I hate to raise the subject, but a fortnight ago when I updated my virus protection stuff, I started getting messages when moving between 'channels' etc, that said Virus program had detected - from this site - malware, Trojan and a Tracking thingy, 4 or 5 messages...then has'nt reacted since. This would have been over a couple of days, early on.
Since it has gotten worse, those messages have'nt re-appeared.

May only have been my program 'Self-Promoting' itself with lies and damn lies... or there may have been something there...

Ah ha, its the old blank image problem

Can i guess its just too many people using this great site !

I remember the time I said I would never get a mobile phone, modern rubbish, I said, confident in the knowledge I would never fall victim to the temptations of modern decadent society. Now I have withdrawal symptoms because my comfort zone is shattered, the AULRO site is playing up.Any one know a cheap shrink? [ Land Rover owner, of course] Bob

ps- keep smiling, INCISER,

I'm getting so much more done whilst aulro is playing up. #everthoughtofaulroontwitter

i don't doubt for a moment the server is some of the problem, but it isnt all of the problems.

i am trying to fast track the new setup but there are only so many hours in a day..

Inc,

Your efforts are always appreciated.

While I would/could happily accept 'network' or 'hardware' problems outside of the AULRO server, 8:30am Sunday wouldn't, in my experience, be a busy time.

Shoot me down if I am off base but I think there are two (or more) issues here.

One is the 'AULRO is busy please logon' scenario

The other is a timeout issue caused by the advertisements. I know you need the ads for the ongoing funding but I have been watching them for a while - at times I get a network timeout - not on your server but on the ad serving server.

In recent times this has been more prevalent - I'm not going to blame this on global warming but I am suspecting that some of your ad providers are serving too many servers from a source that cannot cope with the load.

Just my thoughts.

John

the timeouts on the adverts is another thing altogether, as the bandwidth and supply of them is not from aulro but from the advert servers except for the one on the right hand side under the logo.

it is more likely to be your internet security package i would think IF it is happening all the time.

i have seen the occasional timeout but they would have been weeks apart.

i know kaspersky, ca, mcafee, and nod32 can suffer from it as i have seen it with my own eyes on customers machines.

MSE doesnt, malwarebytes does occasionally...

For waht it is worth I use nod32 and are having the same problems others have mentioned Dave.

cheers,
Terry

today?
