Re: Slow Connection or Slow Server?

Many thanks! The thing about the v high visitor numbers is worth knowing. I think Bora also spotted this. It does sound significant.

Re: Slow Connection or Slow Server?

It works for now. The entire Philosophy Now website was running slow for about 2 or 3 days. Our esteemed webmaster Bora eventually narrowed down the problem to the forum, but we're still not sure of the nature of the problem. Therefore he took the forum offline for about a day to investigate. The re...

Re: bots

I don't know the answers to most of your questions. Bora might know some, but he's busy working on an upgrade to the Philosophy Now app.

Re: Hello!

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with you about the pineapple on pizza. However, then there always seems to be ham involved too, and I'm a veggie, so that's a problem.

Re: The connection has timed out

Bora asked me to let everyone know that he has just updated the forum software, and hopes this MAY solve the problem of connections timing out. But if not, please do tell us here. If that didn't fix it, we'll have to try something else.

Re: The connection has timed out

No, I wasn't aware of this. I haven't encountered the problem myself - the forum always seems to load fine. We have a pretty good setup in terms of servers for Philosophy Now magazine and the Philosophy Now Forum, so capacity really shouldn't be an issue. I'll ask Bora, our tech genius, when I talk ...

Re: 65000 POSTS A DAY

Not sure what was going on there. Substance abuse, as he said himself? He could have been joking, but maybe not. Anyway, he has been perma-banned.

Never a dull moment, is there?

Re: Philosophy Now - Electronic Editions

Amazon made a decision some months back that they would no longer sell magazine subscriptions. Therefore they no longer sell print magazines and they also no longer sell subscriptions to individual magazines on Kindle. Instead, they offer something called Kindle Unlimited, where you pay a flat month...
