Must be the weather. LMAO!

[Anibal P]

Still as slow as 56k here, even after clearing all my saved data and caches, and also happens to be a new PC, and a new Chrome install

[DaveLegg Developer]

Things will be slower for a little while right now as I'm dumping the DB to re-create our secondary mysql server

[Brandon H Supervisor]

^ ah that would explain the DB error i was getting for a minute there

[tsupersonic]

Can't/Shouldn't you do that when peak user load is minimal?

I don't think a minute or 2 downtime matters, this isn't really A&E

[John Callaham Reporter]

It's much faster now..much thanks Dave for alll of your work ;)

[Brandon H Supervisor]

yep, getting faster as the DB rebuilds itself :)

and I got a driver error from IPB

Same thing happened to me too.

EDIT: took it 5 minutes just to save and post this.

I love the placebo effect :p The database rebuild will have no effect on anything until I edit the config files to tell parts of the site to use the 2nd DB. Until then, things are exactly as they were yesterday

C'mon Dave, feed those damn hamsters. :D

[BeerFan]

Feeding the hamsters is fine and all... i mean they need their food!

But, the slowness of this site this has been an ongoing issue for... well... a very long time off and on. It has been long enough that the norm is for the site to be slow as hell. I hope it's not because i went from being a Subscriber to a leecher, but what's to make me subscribe again if it's always this stinking slow?

Edit: i should add that i'm not trying to be excessively critical... more like trying to be constructively critical.

Good point.

Things ought to be better now, we've re-installed the AI that controls the hamsters.

[f0rk_b0mb]

Everything is instant now.

[Lilrich]

Dave is a Legend.

[BeerFan]

Test post.

WOW! Huge improvement! Only about 3 seconds between click Post and seeing it show up.

[Haggis Veteran]

Awesome :D

[Brandon H Supervisor]

now we wait and see how long it lasts this time
