Slow processing requests

Hi, I had a few problems today. For instance when I try to re-load a page FF displays errors telling me to contact the website administrator(or something to that effect) of the site/page I'm trying to view (which would be dgrin). I should have copied one of the messages but I didn't think about it. Also, smugmug asked me for a password earlier and I don't have passwords set up (except for when I log in). It seems like the login page and the homepage take forever to load.

Could this be a FF thing? Possible. I've shutdown and cleared cache and run a registry fix. Still doing it.

I've also gotten this message quite a few times today:

There seems to have been a problem with the Digital Grin Photography Forum database.

Every time I upload pics on Smugmug, my browser closes. I get maybe 1 pic, and it takes forever. Sometimes I get none.

Any tips or hints?? I've done the tutorial to keep windows xp awake while uploading, but that's not helping either.

I'd really like to use smug to host my site, but I'm very frustrated. :dunno

Any help would Rock!!

Hi,

I followed these directions, and it "updated" my Java... but now Java doesn't even come up at all when I go to upload pics.. Right now I"m using smugglr, and I'm using Send to Smugmug. Those are working, for now, and I'm glad I've been able to get pics on my site.

I will work more on Java later, and try to figure out what the heck is going on...

Oh, also.. Is there a way to put a calendar on my site, so I can show my clients what days I'm booked?? Or not yet. Thanks for your help!
