benzworld was getting slower in last few days, today can't even load the page

brianhn1

not for me

Ratso

I too am growing tired of the slow site of Benzworld.org. Love the community, but.....


Just registered here and recognize a few names already.

There was an announcement made that the line is to be fixed today.

Ratso

great to hear

Drew_ML

Actually, a lot of people have registered at MBworld in the past. They cross post a bit over here as well, so it's not a huge surprise that you're recognising a few names.

JimB

he he, and I'm one of them :p Scott

Benza

I have been trying to get on BW all day, still nothing. I hope it gets fixed soon or they will have to start those MOD giv-aways sooner

JimB

I don't really know what is the BW problem... It's an on and off thingy

Ratso

Both Drew and Frank have e-mailed me saying it will be fixed (yesterday), but I burn enough time flipping through forum pages without having to wait for load times liek we've been seeing. The line was supposed to be fixed last week, I thought. I'll check back from time to time to see how it is, but I can't keep reloading looking for new posts like I usually do.

JimB

I agree, I did the same thing, while waiting to load the page I have to go on some other page to entertain my self Hopefully it will be up soon my day is getting longer if there is no BW.

I'm experiencing the same issues as everyone else, so rest assured, you're not the only ones. What happened was that our T1 line was partially broken, and as such the temporary short was causing the lost of the packets. Not enough to render the site completely offline, but enough to slow down things tremendously. So in this case, it's not a server issue.

Anyway, I'll let everyone know when it's been rectified. I'm sure that you'll all check anyway

Benza

I feel left out, neither Drew or Frank emailed me to let me know about BW

hey--

i thought i might find you guys here.

Earl sent me an e-mail confirming that my exhaust was shipped on monday too. I didn't get tracking info but if it's ground i won't see it until Friday (CA to IL). Anyway, i can't wait to get it on and post pics as well!!

JimB

if Earl shipped them all at the same time I should be getting mine tomorrow and will fire up some pixx.

LOCHS 2

Can't wait to see 'em on! I had mine spot welded in the two connecting locations so I'll be going back to merlin's to have them remove the old and put on the new

Ratso

lets not trip over each other rushing to the shop for speed welding now. I can't wait either. But in PA, I suppose I'll be last to receive it.

LOCHS 2

thanking me/us for our persistence and communications because it helped him get leverage to push his supplier to produce a better quality product!!

JimB

mine is going to be easy because I've use the clamp to connect the main connecting point, but I spot welded the middle point though.

Ratso

mine's welded across the board, so we'll get out the ol' sawzall and have at it.

Looking forward to the new one. Anxious about seeign the tips.

Hi Drew <<<waving vigoursly from Tampa>>> just checking on my old ML group, things are great in W210 land, just had Steve K (EuroPimp) retrofit a comand in my W210. Now the dash looks a bit more like my ML did. Have the doors (glue) stopped falling apart yet? has the fuel problem been resolved in the newer models?
