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)

500GB a month... that's some connection for you :D

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.

could be a bad index setup where it has to do a lot of page splits to put the new item into the index tree... SQL Server can be brought to its knees if indexes are setup wrong and your fill factors are planned wrong, work great for reads, but suck for writes... performance tuning at high load volumns can get tricky

it just took me 10 seconds to post that last comment... it's starting to slow down again

Yeah, I have been checking that and will look at it again once our 2nd sql server is up and running again.

It has something to do with IPB because minispy updates fairly quick once you hit post, after that begins the wait

Redmak I was just coming in here to post that. It looks like the commit actually happens almost instantly as I can open a new window to that thread and my post is there, but it seems like nothing reports for a while to the initial request that it is completed.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
