I think the system gets overloaded when we reach 5000 or more "Guests". Paul says that John needs to implement Cloudflare (whatever the heck that is.)

5700+ again now and real slow response. Apparently these guys fly by night. I can't see IP addresses to report them. Maybe someone else can.
'57 GMC 102, Original 347 V8, HydraMatic, 3.08 rear gear, added A/C, disk front brakes, HEI, AFB carb, '98 Honda Black Currant paint. T-boned and totaled 10/12 '52 GMC 152 Stake Bed, Original 228, SM420, added A/C, HEI, disk front brakes, '67 Chev 3.55 rear gear. Gets used as a real truck.
I was able to check a few but most I saw were US based, but a few were from England and a few were proxy servers, which can disguise the true source.
Definitely annoying.

I logged on at 10:32pm MDT and it took a couple of tries before I got in without timing out. The "Who's Online Now" window says that there are "0 members (), 5,865 guests, and 0 robots. 0 members is surprising because I am signed in as a member.
Just figured that I would report what I saw...0 members and 5,865 guests!!

I've been noticing that pictures are sometimes slow to load when I'm reading someone's thread? They might load OK the first time, but when I refresh, some pictures don't load again?

I have found that even though the thumbnail doesn’t show in the thread, if you click on it, it will still display in full view mode.

I don't think there's much we can do about that. Now that we have Cloudflare implemented, we've stomped out the "guests" that were plaguing us but we're experiencing the anomalies that you see when using a proxy. It may get better with time, as more content gets served directly from Cloudflare, but who knows?
I'm getting intermittent time-outs today. Usually gets back in when I refresh.
