forum server running slow?

[napalmnthemorning]

The forum is opening up very slow today. Maybe it's my new Opera 7.54. I double checked with IE (Yuck!) and the forum was still very sluggish..

 

[NetRyder]

Hmm...haven't noticed any slowdown myself.

 

[rotjong]

I've noticed no slowness.

 

[Jewelzz]

It's fine here

 

[SPeedY_B]

Server loads aren't high, and the render speeds seem fine. Must be a problem your end I'm afraid.

 

[Electronic Punk]

The entire net is slow for me today
4meg line crawling like a 512 :s

 

[Grandmaster]

I had a slowdown too. This is weird.

 

[Tittles]

dododododododododo...maybe its a case for the x-files

 

[rotjong]

I've only had slowness with one site lately: Warp2Search.net.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah they been a tad slow, I think they run on quite a few servers tho... so will see what they end up doing..

 

[Geffy]

it was completely down it seemed for a while. but running fine again now

it was completely down it seemed for a while. but running fine again now

It was like using a 300 baud modem for the last 3 days. It's somewhat better now but it's still slow for me. Bleh.

 

[Hsn]

Yeah, mine wouldn't load either earlier today

Seems fine now though. =)

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah, we are experiencing increased traffic recently and our server admin is in australia. Go figure

Sp2...

 

[Electronic Punk]

Well that has definatly helped, but we are getting a higher avergage number of users anyway, which I expected. Not yet at the levels NTFS was at (before january), but we are getting there.

I have disabled forced refreshes on both the frontpage and the forums. Should hopefully decrease the serverload and increase page loading times.

Let me know how it goes, I am very curious to see if it updates the relevent sections (ie last post in forum) or latest news posts correctly.

Sometimes you click a thread and make some tea time.

You come back 3 mintues later and it's just moving and loading.

Sometimes, well it is instant.

Some days are betetr than others.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah, hopefully this change will reduce the number of database queries etc.
We will see.
