Sorry - I think I need to upgrade my hosting package again. I have been periodically running out of memory resources with everything that the site is running and this causes things to die so the site can't be reached. I am still working on site improvements and upgrades that I hope to (someday!) bring online. Until then I hope we can keep limping along.

Thanks, Looks like you are staying busy.

Sounds like a possible memory leak. Does re-booting the server get everything back up? If so, monitoring the memory utilization of the processes on the server over time may reveal which process is consuming the memory, and allow predicting when a scheduled re-boot needs to occur (when the site is not busy) to prevent a prolonged outage.

I've had to deal with this issue more than a few times myself over the years...

The board going down certainly made me realize how much I miss you guys. During the time it was down I checked some of the other sites and none compare to this one. It made me feel like I better hurry up and ask what I want to know faster.

We moved our home based server to GoDaddy.com. Less than the TZO cost.

Ditto on that. this site is much more user friendly IMHO.

Is Heath a Valuable "National Treasure" to that vast world of Macgregor owners? I think...and know so!
