[BeerFan]

It has been reaallly slow most of today. But at teh current moment, things are moving a bit quicker.

Edit: Nevermind! It took 37 seconds to finish saving this post! :x

[Rappy Veteran]

[Brandon H Supervisor]

[BeerFan]

Annnnd back on topic.... it just took me 43 seconds to load a post. Ugh.

Edit: And 48 to post that ^.

It's been very slow for me the last couple of days. I've aged years the last two days waiting on things to load.

[Farstrider]

To load this page (or any other for that matter) was like wading through mud!

facebook works just fine for me

it was down for a bit but yeah back on topic, it's a bit better

Compared to when I was on here earlier using IE8, working on a customers old XP machine, site is now running some what better using Opera 12.02.

Any browser other than IE, IS quicker, but at times this site blows so badly, I leave it without reading a single thing!!

Edit:

Took 38 seconds just to post this!!

Holding my breath, but things seem a little better today.

Didn't want to create a new thread but seems the forum has not adjusted for the UKs clock going back an hour, apart from choosing a different time zone in user settings, I can't see anything to fix it ? :)

Seems to be ok here. Maybe cache?

Ahaa Mr Bond, you may be right :p

IE doesn't show the error, whereas FF does, many thanks Sir ;)

[Rappy Veteran]

slow to post again, took a while to reply to a thread

[f0rk_b0mb]

It's "do-able" here. Could be better...

Edit: Scratch that. It's slow to post and like.

[Noir Angel]

Slow again here as well, posts are taking ages to submit again.

[Detection]

Same, bit better the past 20 mins, but has been a pain all day

[tsupersonic]

I'm surprised that admins have not come up with a solution?

[Arceles]

Remixedcat would say... no food for the poor hamsters, I say poisonous food made its way into the hamsters and they are pretty much k.o.

[Growled Member]

My question is this.....why does the board run decent while you are viewing posts but runs so poorly when you are posting? Because that's when I see most of my slowness, when I am trying to post.

FYI we may have a faulty SQL server which is being checked atm

OH and we have someone from Japan leeching the site to annoy us (over 500Gb a month)

[Noir Angel]

Can their IP addresses not be filtered in the usual ways? As for the SQL server, thanks for the heads up :)
