things slowing way down again this morning

[Growled Member]

I thought it was running better the last few days. :(

I don't know if you guys saw my post but I have been having troubles with this website while using IE 10 in Windows 8. Works fine with Apple Safari 6.0.2 in Mac OSX 10.8.3 Beta 1 however, also works fine with Mobile Apple Safari in Apple IOS 6.1 Beta 2.

It was better for about a week. Back to absolutely awful again.

There is no reason (from a viewer standpoint) why it should take 17 seconds from when i click on a topic title until i can actually view the topic. Don't even mention posting or editing...

Unless things change for the better for a longer period of time, why should i ever pay for a subscription again? I mean, the slowness of the site is actually much more the norm than the exception. Not a criticism, but an observation.

Edit: 24 full seconds from clicking post to seeing this.

Edit2: Actually, editing is almost instantaneous. Weird and impressive at the same time.

Site is very slow right now.

Agree, 11PM EST and it's taking 30 seconds to load the forum index.

I need to chime in here. After several weeks of this, I've also noticed it happens pretty much like clockwork around 11pm EST. Give or take a half hour on both sides (Before and after) as I've noticed it happening at 10:30pm up until shortly after 11:pm.

Maybe there are a lot of scheduled tasks being performed around that time every night? If so, can they be spaced out?

[nekkidtruth]

I clicked on a link to a thread, it sat loading for a moment and I looked at the time wondering what was taking so long, 11:02pm. So I go back to the main page and click this thread to come report and from 11:02pm, it finally loaded at 11:13pm. I also stopped and clicked on the link again halfway through that.

There is definitely something going on around 11pm that's causing this.

11pm again, like clockwork.

[nekkidtruth]

11pm again, like clockwork.

Just took another 10 minutes to reopen this page (When I hit post on my previous post, it just said posting and never stopped). This time I got a couple of database errors before it came up again.

Edit: This particular post, posted within 5 seconds.

Double Edit: The forums are back up to speed again at 11:22

I actually have to say, it does seem to slow way down around 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. It is now 11:36 PM EST, and I started noticing clicking around various threads was slow about 30 minutes ago. I then clicked in this thread, saw the 11 PM EST theory above, and I am thinking there is definitely something to it.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

yeah same for me, usually slows down around then (around 10:00 pm CST for me) and then again usually around 2:00 am CST when i'm occasionally still up

I can confirm this also. It slows to a crawl nightly at 10:00 pm CST

[Chris123NT]

Same for me, it's always slow right around the time I start winding down for the night, which would be right around 11. And it's still slow right now for me.

Edit: And now it's sped up lol.

[Growled Member]

I've noticed it at 10 PM CST.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

i noticed it just now, the site was locked up for 5 minutes just saying connecting

Same here, once again at around 10:00pm CST.

It took 15 minutes to get into this thread and post this.

[Charisma Veteran]

Yep, can also confirm it was impossible for about 15 or 20 mins there. Maybe this timeframe will help the devs figure it out...

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

same thing happened here on my end at the same exact time. :|

[Timan Veteran]

Happens around this time every night so far this week. Hopefully someone figures it out.

[remixedcat]

have you contacted your hosting company to see if it's somethin ghetto goin on?

[nekkidtruth]

4:20am I clicked on a forum link. No deal. I clicked on Forums to come post in this thread after sitting for a few minutes, it's now 4:36 and this page JUST loaded.

Not sure what's causing this but whatever it is brings the forums to a complete stop for several minutes. It's really obnoxious. Then of course all of a sudden the forums are running like a fresh install :huh:

Also side note, like clockwork last night at 11pm the forums were apparently choking on something. :D

[Haggis Veteran]

yep same here right now its taking around 10 mins for a forum page to load

the main news page is instant though

[Shane Nokes]

Yeah tonight has been painful as regards forum use.

I've been on my phone using the mobile version and it times out fairly often.

This is via WiFi on a 40Mb connection so it shouldn't be the connection on this end.

[remixedcat]

I'm using a brand new amped wireless router on a subscribed 12mb connection (often is 15-22Mbps) and a brand new core i5-3570K system with 16GB RAM and Windows Server 2012 on an SSD drive and it's still slow sometimes...

I just got a ZTE N860 (warp) and it's slow on it on wifi and 3G.
