SMF For Free Support Forum

as stated above after testing several sites Im finding all forums ending in smfforfree.com whether upgrading or not are slow and all ending in smfforfree2.com are fast.  Given this, how is upgrading going to help us with the speed?

Excellent question.  It is very clear that upgrading is not the solution to the problem.

So incredibly sad about this whole thing.  It is SO much worse than it used to be last fall when anyone could have four million smileys and everyone was on the same server.  That does not make any sense to me.  At all. 

Totally agree with this - things are just getting worse.  I'm seeing these issues with my forum daily now.  I just had a huge post wiped out by the Connection Problems message, and it's happening to my members as well.  Just endlessly frustrating...

I (and I know I speak for Foxx as she is my partner in our forum) do not want to move to server 2!  If server 2 had some options that were to our aesthetic liking (i.e. smileys that don't suck and a background that doesn't blind you) then perhaps we would consider it.  Maybe it would be a BETTER idea if SMF fixed server 1 so it worked more than 30% of the time.

Quoted for truth.  If the only solution is getting a new forum on server 2, I'd rather just find a different service altogether.

THANK YOU, SMF!  That was a wise decision, I think.

Its only on Server 1 and only on the default theme. I will run it for a couple days and see how it goes.

No one on my forum uses the SMF Default Theme, but I still have people getting bombed with ads.  The ads are derailing discussions and driving my posters away.  SMF, I appreciate that your service requires ad revenue to function, but there has to be a better alternative.

If the ads stay in posts, I'll be closing my forum and going to another provider.  I'm getting nothing but complaints from my posters, and I can't say as I blame them.

Thanks SMF.

Still getting errors on mine.

Not good.

Mine's back up now.
