Welcome to the new forum.
Hope you like the new look, find it easy to use and you will enjoy joining in with the conversations.
If you haven't done so already, you will need to sign up for the new forum - your old forum details won't work here!
Please try to keep your posts relevant to the forum...
"William's World" is for anything related to the work of the boss - Bill Nelson.
"World Outside the Window" is for general comments about...whatever you like really!
"World and His Wife" is an area for fans to discuss their own musical creations.
One last thing - please play nicely, personal insults or offensive posts will be deleted and the author will be banned from the forum.
A few issues earlier this morning.
.
How does one embed YouTube videos within the body of the post, the way Tourist does, rather than just a URL the way I do?
So glad my ISP increased the speed a few weeks back. Absolutely no problems viewing Dreamsville now. :)
The chat function only works when you’re logged in. So if your password isn’t working, then you won’t see the chat function.
Can’t log in on my computer. Doesn’t recognise any passwords no matter what I choose nor how long I wait after I’ve created a new password when I try to access via computer. No chat function on computer ever since I started using WiX on my phone. Am able to stay logged in on iPhone via WiX app and use the chat function via WiX but I cannot add text to accompany photographs I post via WiX nor is there an add-captions function on WiX.

Hello everyone.
Been a while...…
This is my first visit to the new forum and first visit to Dreamsville, itself, for quite some time. I hope all the usual suspects are present and correct.
So, have I missed anything in the passed year...…? :)
Ps. Good job on the new forum - I guess once we've all got used to it ;)
Everything is running so smoothly this morning! Whatever you've done, thank you very much for it. :)
I have successfully interwebbed over to the new forum.
Only seem to be "allowed" to log in at the Journal section.
I should point out that billnelson.com, itself, the front page, the interface, is not problematic. The problems start when clicking over to Forum and Journal.
I should add that the journal loaded very quickly just now (but didn't load at all yesterday) so it's not a consistent problem...
Maybe a clue - yesterday while waiting for the forum to load (it never loaded) I noticed a brief but repeated message in the lower left corner that said 'Waiting for forum.wixapp.net'. It comes and goes so fast that I had to stare at the spot on the screen for several flashes to finally see everything it said. Hope this helps, Jim
Hi Jon,
Sorry about this but...the forum and journal are painfully slow on PC, iPhone and iPad. I regularly use 3 different PC's using different browsers. It is slow on all. It is so slow that I've virtually given up looking at the forum - something I used to do regularly. You click on something and nothing happens for what seems an eternity. Sometimes, nothing happens at all. I'm never sure whether a click has worked and it is beyond frustrating. I'm sorry to be so negative as I know a lot of hard work has gone into it. It's a real shame as I really like the look/layout. Dreamsville is the only website I have problems with. I sincerely hope this issue can be resolved. Perhaps the problem lies with the hosting?

I have it slow for me as well. On a MacBook Pro, running 10.12.6 & using Safari.
Forum & Journal both take a noticeable time to load. I get the occasional alert that the website is using significant power. Not getting that on any other website.

For me, any access to the site is slow. It is the only slow site I frequent so don't see how it can be my computer/internet speed. This has been the case since before the new forum was added so I don't think it's forum related. It doesn't impede me from frequenting the site as I'm pretty much used to it but thought I'd mention it since Alec found a fix for firefox (say that fast 10 times)... No worries, Jim
Has anyone come across a Chrome fix for the slow performance similar to what Alec posted on Firefox above? This is by far my slowest web site and really the only one that I would call slow. Thanks, Jim
Hey, someone just had the ten thousandth view of the William's World forum! There should be a prize or something...
Solved my silly problem of 'A website is slowing down your browser. Stop it or wait?' I'm on Firefox for my web browser and I've changed from block trackers only in private windows to block all trackers, thanks to the information provided in this forum ...

... and so now, since making that adjustment in settings, this website is now as fast as it should be.
