Blinksale: Easy, painless, online invoicing for small businesses

Request for Chefs

The Site is crawling already and it's not even the weekend yet. There are many folks who don't get a chance to come to the Site except on the weekends. If past weekends are any indication of what is to come, this long weekend the site will be virtually un-useable.

Is there any chance you could get someone in your organization to check in on the Site several times over the weekend and reboot the servers or whatever you do which makes the Site work properly for a few hours.

Oh, and we need a Delete Button to get rid of the multiple posts when the servers are acting up. Grrrrr.

Yes, when someone refreshes when a comment isnt posted and when it does eventually post theres like 5 of the same comment or new blog entry.

That is a lot of requests! This one should win out.

It's 2:20 a.m. EST and it is at a snail's pace, at best. It's really not viable. I feel bad--someone will send me a request, I'll see it in my email in-box, but I can't fulfill it, or respond to the person in any way, because I have a job and a family and stuff I want to do, and I just cannot sit around for 5- to 10-minutes (I'm being serious) waiting for one or two pages to load. It's too bad because it really can be a fun and useful site on the rare occasions when it's running fast.

This is painfully slow again. Those with tokens can't pick sets up or, in one case, managed to pick the sets up but got all of them twice. I think I got a new referral yesterday but I can't get the list up to check and I suspect that s/he gave up trying to do anything as I have no messages.

I get my tokens tomorrow, if this hasn't speeded up by then that'll be 3 months running I've not been able to do anything. I have all pre-arranged trades but they can't send me the sets. Kind of ruins the anticipation of token day.

The Chefs will be back tomorrow and maybe someone will reboot the servers. Till then have a good Labor Day (U.S. Folks)

Yes, but restarting the servers does not fix the problem at all...
