Any ideas for new Categories? (ie General, James Gossip, Jossverse, FanficLand, Fun and Games, Bloody Spike Main Site). Or new boards within those categories? (eg In James Gossip, the boards are JamesJamesJames, Actor James, Musical James)

Having problems with any part of the forum, or posting?

Post here! I'll get back to you! For anything more... um... sensitive, IM me

Maybe a board within General for technical stuff. That way we could have separate threads for avatar/banner help, requests, and misc help!questions.

I know you have had a hot date since then, but I already said go ahead with this.... ;D

Regulars here will know that we tend to hit a period most days when moving round the board and posting starts to run (dawdle) very very slowly. We affectionately term it the Treacle Lake and grit our collective teeth and get on with it. Not much will deter a determined Spike from Prattling, or sucking up news about James!

Here is what Proboards have to say about the situation:

As we near a half million boards...

Dear Valued Members,

Many servers are busy right now. Some of you may be seeing the "Too Many Connections" message. Please just wait it out. If the servers didn't take a break they would crash so it is important that you wait the 30 seconds and then try again. Please don't keep re-clicking this only slows the servers down more.

I realize that for many of you this has been going on for a while. We are doing our best to accomodate all the new members we have signing up everyday. In the near future more servers will be purchased as well as upgrades for some of the older servers.

Well, we don't get that message, but we sure know when we have to don our treacle waders

Speed wise we are just fine and dandy til round 9-00pm UK time, so you know when to do your major moving about the board! Not possible for some of us, I know.

So once the treacle has encroached, and you find that after posting it is taking forever to be returned to the thread, don't tear out your hair! As soon as you click post, that post has been made and will be showing up to folks reading that thread. So you can now go up to the little menu to move away from your post and go look at other threads or different parts of the board.

It's annoying sometimes, but bear with it. And hopefully our server will be upgraded soon...
