Shouldn't say this, but it's running better than it has in a long time now. Last time I said that, a page or 2 back, it almost stopped right then and there, when trying to post my reply.

Here's hoping!! :)

Edit:

Post actually went right through!!

Haven't been having any issues for a while now. Maybe I'm not on at the times where it happens!

Remixed, what's a hampster? :shiftyninja: :rofl:

Edit: took me longer to write that than to post. :)

there's hamsters and there's HAMPSTERS.

Completely Off Topic:-

I realise that I should probably let this go. As a person who was always 'into' the English language, I find spelling mistakes a little grinding. But whatever, I rarely worry about it.

I just thought that you were maybe unaware of the correct spelling. But to insist you are correct.... well.

If you can give me a link to what you think it is, fine. But it is not in any of the dictionaries or encyclopaedias that I own. (A lot!)

If you want to believe you're correct, fine. I don't agree with you though.

Back on topic:-

I haven't had any real slow downs today, but it is taking slightly longer today than yesterday. Not worth worrying about though.

Loading threads is running fine, but posting is taking forever for me today, hitting post and watching that little square pattern at the top right forever, 'saving post' shows at the bottom and sometimes never refreshes the page, although clicking back into the thread from New Content link shows that my post has worked

This could be solved by migrating to vbulletin. Vbulleting can scale more then IPBoard can. Vbull powers Something Awfuls forums. They currently have (958am MST) have 6,820 registered users logged in. 173,599 users total. 3,157,920 total threads.

I think there are too many customisations to this IPB to migrate to vBulletin, iirc it is even a big hassle upgrading to newer versions of IPB

Anything scales well if you throw enough hardware at it :p
