Since weeks it is almost impossible to log-in to rosity, all tries to upload, comment, view a pic, etc., don't work or need endless time till it works... It is no fun anymore... I have not the time or the patience to wait endless, if the server wants to work or not... I have enough...this server sucks... and it seems, that nobody repairs it... If Renderosity continues that way, it will loose all people...

Servers/websites like anything else have to me maintained, yes its a pain, so are road works but they have to be done all the same. At least you can go and make a coffee while your waiting for the server but you cant do that sat in traffic lol If the end result is faster page loads then it will be worth the wait, I know all to well that time is a premium.

I know Cyn does not need my support about all the given explanation.

As far as I am concerned it is a bit frustating but all changes for better are 'painfull'.

I wait patiently because I believe in RR's team ----> and I am sure they are all doing there best as fast as possible.

Carlos.

...or we could all finally start using those neat rocket packs they promised us would be so common by now back in the 50s. We wouldn't need roads then! ;^P It is a pain, but I'm hoping that things will be greatly improved when all the changes are done. I for one will hang in there.

I say if you have the weather , the slow downs make a good time to go shoot more images. Soon enough this place will be rocking. Wish it was just as easy as switching a button, but all the patience is appreciated.

Lol would be great if they had one of those Staples Easy Button but sadly they dont. Well Ill wait right here. I know the Team RR will get everything together. This one of the best place for artist in the WORLD! Till the new road is paved Ill continue upgrading my old SLR ^______^

I love the analogy too ... I just hope we don't start getting toll charges. I love this place, and more than once have thought about the enormous undertaking these poor servers are going through day in and day out. The servers must be HUUUGGGEE to handle all of these images. I work tech support at an ISP, so I know all the glitches these things go through; many of which people don't even feel, but are there and being watched 24/7. Nothing is ever perfect ... Stuff happens and we have to accept facts. If RR loads slow for me, I open another window and pay a bill or look up info -- eventually the page loads and it goes really good again for a while. The bills are quickly put on the back burner again lol Enough rambling ... Cyn, and everyone else who is running the place... keep up the good work. Shari

Strange... It all runs very fast and smooth at my end of the world. Seriously. No slow-downs, no hiccups, nothing. If you guys haven't mentioned it, I'd never know about the moving to the new server thing. Hmmm... I'm not complaining, though! ::::))))))))))

Good to see you Nui....hope things are fine.

Hi Niu!Long time no see!Hope all is well.

Change is rarely easy,and the analogy is indeed apropos.

It is trying at times,but it usually picks up after a while.And I remember all too well those few days we had when there was no RR at all!That was awful!And it made me appreciate RR all the more.

So I'll be hanging in there.No way I'm leaving! :^)

This place Rocks allready...& as a matter of fact...To day it runns splendidly in my corner of the world to :).. BIG HAPPY smile.....Niu & I, arnt so far a way from each other......I'w been waiting patiently toooo...Doug :) During the time I have managed to create more sculpture, a video... LOL!!! and shooted more photos :) But ther have been times I have been "red of frustration" as U Kurt ;)Bussi Muuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh to all Of U!!!!!!!

I've been here for a long time and I've seen a lot worse than this. And I also know that there are other communities out there that are impossible to access in the evening from this end of the planet even without server problems, so I'm staying put. And I'm sure they're doing what they can to fix this. I also know what a big move and trasistion it is to transform a whole community into another programming language, new servers and database structure. It's bound to slow down and stop completely now and then. Today it's been pretty good so far though :D

mmm I know I had the same too, but I still try all the time. I understand, it is a lot of work and Cynlee and Doug are still busy with it, or more people!!! But now at the moment there are 2049 surfers currently online...so not bad for a slow website me thinks...... Ilona

To be honest, it hasnt been a major issue here, (except last week when the gallery was playing up) I get the odd page that refuses to load now and then, but generally ok. Shame I havent got more time to play here. Sites with a large database to pull from are slower by their vary nature, unlike say my personal site that is purely html so there is very little data for the browser to deal with. Rosity anyway is worth the grin and bare factor. I can remember the days of waiting 30 mins to load a program if just a few k from a tape drive, in the scheme of things a slowish page load is a small inconvenience .

Yes Cynlee, I notice that it goes faster now, and I saw also this "Back to Thumbnails" but I must click 2 times all the time before it goes back there..... You do a good job, no doubt !!!!

Sorry but with respect, I think that is uncalled for, perhaps you might consider peoples feeling before you rant off about an issue that is totally untreated and for all intents and purposed done and dusted (and locked down) We all know it is a unfortunate situation, but continuing it here isnt going to help. Just my opinion of course.

Why not channel all of that 'energy' into your art?I think your mentor would certainly approve. As long as it is within TOS,of course... Just a suggestion... :^)

He he my comment now seems out of place but due to my non delete policy, I'm afraid it will have to stay lol

Mine too,Simon.LOL. We weren't addressing Rumple2 folks,for the record... :^)

The deletion I've done was not due to a volontary "policy", dears... I'm sorry if your comments are now out of place but I had to follow some instructions...

May I be so bold as to suggest...take a valium, or better yet...a three lorazepams. I find this helps :-) They are working on it...have patience. THC ;-)

LOL! Three??? Three would make a nuclear war a minor event,lol! ;^)

muahahahah...it works my favorite Artist...you don't need any though...you are naturally chill adn most-cool. Me though...now I thnk I need four...

I'll bet it does!!!LOL! Thank you...But let me assure you,I too,have my 'less-than chill' days! ;^)

w/o less than chill, then what would be chill? It is a world of duality...let us meditate and reflect on such matters...we must find the center...then give of yourself..help others...this is the key...it is for real...
