I'm now accessing the forums without the proxy, so it seems like my ISP has got things sorted out.

YAY

It seems I can access the forums without the proxy as well now and accessing ftp works as well! Doubleyay!

Thanks, indeed, for everyone who helped during the troubletimes!
Hugely appreciated!

My biggest problems with the forums here are the fact when I try and log into them sometimes it takes forever or they wont log in at all and time out. Ive also had this problem when trying to post. Your forums are super slow sometimes or they will hang and die. Dont know about the host, but the company doesnt do a very good job.

It's still the same problem:
in order to have a cheap hosting, this company like all similar ones use the same computers for hundreds of websites.
Thus it is slow.

When I access it during US nights it's very fast but as soon as US wakes up it starts to slow down.

The only solution would be to switch to a dedicated server similar to the one we use for the vault. This way we would have a computer only for the website.

However this costs 4 time the price of the current solution.

So basically if, at some time in the future, we have as many regular users that we had when NWN1 was a popular game AND those people give regularly then it will be a solution.
Until then we are stuck with what we have now.
