**Altec Best** · March 14th, 2011, 03:49 PM

Hello To All, I have talked with a few members about the issues here at the site for the better part of a week now.Just wondering if it is everyone or just a few ?

I sent Todd an email about it.But if you have had problems Logging-In here at Hostboard (Altec User Board) please post here in this thread.And post the issues you have had.For me it has been just trying to get onto the site before my browser times out ! Thanks !

I also had problems with logging-in at Hostboard.com last few days!!
Now I must say, Holland is a long distance....

Hostboard has problems every now and again. Todd won't know anything unless he's been in contact with the Hostboard owners. Anybody can contact them through the Helpdesk...... well now that everything is up and running again.

I've had the same trouble logging in lately. On one occasion a few days ago, when I tried to log in there was a message that said something like "Due to the growth of the Hostboard we are adding another server--thank you for your patience while we complete the upgrade". I think the site was down while they were connecting and then tweaking the new (additional) server. Even before this recent problem I have noticed this website is sometimes slow--I think they've needed another server for a while now....

I have not been able to get the page to load at all the past few days. I thought the site was gone

Tonight it loaded almost instantly.

As a bonus we also installed a larger hard drive and have installed a second server to handle the sites continual growth.

Second, I would like to welcome Trinnoivations and their development team to Hostboard. Along with them we will immediately start development on Hostboard and hope to roll out...

- I'm pretty sure that most of the present ( & past ) weirdness when accessing this site is caused by a shaky implementation of the local IP addressing .

I had to back track in starting at Hostboard etc.
Reset the bookmark, although it said it already existed, and now it works.
go figure!

Let me set the record straight here.In no way are we talking about closing this site and losing all the info. Todd would have to make a back-up copy of the threads here to include them into a new site.

Also this site has had a lot of issues for a long time now and have asked Todd about them on numerous occasions and he didn't know what they (Hostboard) were doing.It just came to a head this past week when almost everyone was experiencing them. IME Steven was doing site upgrades every 3 months and with those new upgrades came new compatibility issues with those upgrades.For about a week and then it would get better.

We only asked Todd to consider moving the site to it's own home away from Hostboard.On a much larger server.Like other sites,it would be nice to post a schematic picture that isn't resized to a tiny thumbnail,just an example.Would like to see a library as well.The site would have many more visitors I'm willing to bet if it did and more (donations) to help with more upgrades.As it is right now most Folks have to go to Lansing Heritage's Altec library to get some info or (Literature) that should be made available here.I have copied a lot of that info already.And could email it to Todd on a thumb drive.Easier and shorter than trying to email.

Altec Lansing has always been my Favorite speakers ! Hands Down ! And just want to help Todd anyway i can, to make this site better than it is now.It has always been my favorite forum because of Altec and most importantly the people here are all the best.

Go over to LH and ask a question about Altec Lansing if you get 5 replies over 2 week period you will be lucky ! JBL is the game over there.

Just wanted to assure Todd that he can move it and or upgrade it with much better features and it wouldn't cost him a dime.Pano,Cal,OG,AA, and myself and a few others have agreed to split costs or donate to help with the move.Our only interest in this, is to make Todd's Altec Site one of the best for the future ! Of Course Todd has to make all those decisions, but there is people in house already that can assist him with the software,hosting server,etc... Like Pano !

Thanks Michael for your willingness to donate monies,your time and knowledge for this task !

I myself hate that darn image re-sizer as I'm starting to need reading glasses.I need images bigger not smaller !

Most of the long term members liked the site better before the move to Hostboard a few years ago anyway.

I think the URL changed here because of another Altec forum on Hostboard.When I was having problems and tried to enter through Hostboard.com after Googling, I came across it.There was like only 5 threads on it, so I think it is quite new, or not too many know about it, or Both.Another reason to move !

Long Live Altec Lansing !

Right now I'm still getting error message above the Hostboard Toolbar so there is still some problems "No Doubt"
