I've not yet received http 404 errors (page not found) but evrytime I "sit" on an active forum page (such as the reply screen) for over 4 minutes, then I get the "go to login" or "gateway connection timeout or reset errors"
It may be that the servers are having problems with the IP routing between UK & Thailand, or it might be coming from the ISP I use (which is owned by the xenophobic dictator who is currently Prime Minister of this kingdom, and has a habit of prohibiting access to different domains that he dislikes)
Whatever the reason, the problems I'm currently experiencing are completely different to any I experienced under the old forum engine.
.............and never forget - before I expatriated I was a high-level systems infrastructure and server technician working under contract for companies such as Heathrow/BAA, LloydsTSB, GEC Marconi, EDS, Dell and others - so I do have some idea about these things.
