Server Problems??
for the last six months or so it seems as though it is harder and harder to log on to this website. Yesterday i tried all day and the only place I could go was the homepage. I thought when it first happened someone might do something about it, but after six months it seems as though it is getting worse. I don't know who is in charge of this, but with all the sponsers we have money shouldn't be a problem with upgrading. I sure hope this solved soon,

I'm with ya. I've started having problems getting into threads over the past couple weeks. I was surprised I could get into this thread. My surfing time on this site has definitely gone down due to this issue.

You might want to read this. It may help explain the problem. During busy times, I would recommend coping your post before submitting them. If they don't go through at least you won't have to retype everything.

The supporters do not just support this site (servers, etc.) Ken (the owner) needs to support his family and also has staff. They need paycheques too. Plus, it seems that many times (and I am not just saying you) but users on this site seem to complain about the slow server but don't want to help support the site. It is a great deal for $15.99. I signed up for 3 years $45.99 and got a free t-shirt as well.
It is worth it just to get rid of the advertising on the left hand side of the screen IMHO.

Just a observation on my part, at times it does seem slow, and this is during off rush times I don't know of the eight other forums Im on none of them charge or solicte money for supporters. Snowest, Hardcore sledders , Arcticchat, Maixium Sledding, Snowmobile world, Atv world, Diesel stop, Power stroke flat rate tech, Don't get me wrong I appreciate this resource to learn about Ford trucks!!!! It would be worth it to be a "supporter".

If using IE try dumping all temp internet files and log out of the FTE server. I did this last week and have been trouble free after experiencing the slow down.
As for becoming a supporter
on the home page its states
Join Our Site - Its free, quick and easy!
I did not know the little logo that says FTE club at the top of every page was a link until just the other day
If you would like us to become supporters then you should have a small ad that says
If you enjoy our site - become a supporter
I did not even know that this option was available until I started experiencing a slow down and was told in not so many words if I became a supporter I would not be having these problems. I could go on but I would get replys like this
I've noticed it's the "non supporters" doing that. Big shocker eh?

I have clikced on their links and inquired about stuff due to the ads.... so I guess being a non-supporter directly to FTE is not as bad as some make it sound.... as I am supporting or trying to support the ads and companies I see on my screen when I visit FTE.
Thanks,
Jeff
