    Sorry if this has been posted aready but boards seems extremely SLOW for the past couple of weeks...

    The following is typical of the time to load pages..."Page generated in 12.99528 seconds with 11 queries"

    I think they upgraded the servers a while back to Sinclair ZX81's.

    Page generated in 2.39649 seconds with 12 queries. its speeded up no end for me today as in 45 secs to a min this morning. the front page is rendering really quick but when i click on a topic it still renders it in a different colour scheme from my default.

    Like treacle for me most of the time over the past year. You get times when its ok, but overall its one of the slowest sites I use. I'm using boards less and less because of it. When its slow its just a pain to use.

    When it takes you a couple of minutes, but it reports that it took less than a second, does your browser report "connecting to ... " or "waiting for ..." or anything like that at the bottom?

    I get both. It's usually "waiting for...", but sometimes it's "connecting to...".

    I used it on an o2 datacard for most of the day and it flew along.

    When I got home to the DSL it got slow.

    My mind boggled.

    Nothing like a 91k jpeg to improve page load times.

    I'm really not trying to be a smarmy bastard when I say this, but I doubt many will notice the marginal difference.

    Perhaps it's demotivated. Try making your posts more stimulating.

    Perhaps its time to start rethinking some of the idiotic forums that have been created? I forum for mustard, i mean come on, its all grand if you have the power/space/whateva runs this place; but with boards running this slow i bet most users would happily drop a handful of these forums for an increase in speed.

    If a forum is idiotic then it's probably not very popular. If it's not very popular then it's hardly putting much stress on the servers.

    Maybe if we close all of Rec, Soc and Tech the site will be much faster!
