    Hey,

    Im find Boards fairly slow today.. the page load time is very random. Sometimes it loads quick(sh) then slower, then in between. Its fairly unstable it seems and im getting a few "Database down" messages to. Earlier, I couldnt even get here - just got a blank page. Is it just me?

    Yeah I got that earlier too.
    Site is crawling along at the moment, but then I don't use boards much when it's slow... it feels like I'm kicking the server while it's down :)

    Nope.

    Haven't gotten the database errors, but I think boardsie did fall down for a short while earlier.

    Boards and Bebo - my two favourite sites - are wonderful. But why are they both so blooming slow and unpredictable? Am I cursed? Are we all cursed?!!:eek:

    Its been quite variable today alright. I know we've been saying this for a long time but really, hang in there... servers are in our hands and on their way to to config/production. This will be a complete restructure, rebuild of the infrastructure going from 2 front servers and a single DB to something more along the lines of 7 front servers and a pair of clustered DB servers. Lets just say we hope you will see/feel where your subscriber yoyo's go to. ETA 1-2 weeks in my amateur opinion.

    Pretty sure Invision Power Board didn't exist when boards moved from UBB to VBB.

    does this mean that when i click on new posts i will getthe last 20 posts that were posted instead of me having to go through every forum individually to see new posts
    when i first joined boards you got all the new posts by clicking new posts but when i do it now they come up an hour behind???

    What? Does that mean it's gonna be slower/faster/the same or what? Sorry I am an ex-blonde!

    There is nothing more annoying than spending 20 mins to craft a reply (or original post) to find you have timed-out. You back-button - you have "nothing!".

    Think this is a jelsoft issue though - can't think why you couldn't have these in an independent session that can query the live database where the original post has moved to.

    Ps. Please don't delete this as I might need a nixer there.

    PPs. If they already have this feature and you haven't enabled it - you cannot delete this post - it may be evidence :eek:

    Seems to be quite slow right about now, though the

    "Page Generated in 0.42470 seconds with 14 queries"

    ...doesn't appear to suggest it. Other pages just won't stop loading. I'm using the "Reply to Thread" button for the first time since I learnt how to use quick reply.
