Last night, there was an internet router in Kansas functioning at about 66% capacity and another one in Onterio down to about 33%. The rest of the North American network was in the mid to high 90's for percentile of functioning. I didn't chime in to the discussion because I didn't see how Kansas and Onterio would be influencing Active Web Hosting. This morning, they are all up and running but the spike of packet loss and the dip in traffic index shows that the TXGenWeb was not alone in their problems last night. http://www.internettrafficreport.com/namerica.htm Suzie TXFannin On Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 8:50 AM, Shirley Cullum <shirlcullum@sbcglobal.net>wrote: > Good Morning, Deb. > > Bloated code is code that has unnecessary and often duplicate instructions > in it. > > I have been dicussing the problem with Delbert and he has been checking on > it at the server end.

Thanks Suzie! You beat me to the punch. I too was investigating this, and found the problem to be much more wide spread than TXGenWeb servers. It appears that the route all this info zips through was having issues at certain "stations" along the way, causing problems for numerous different hosting services. Guess the Texas heat wave is a bit more wide spread than we had thought!
