Site speed problems

Terry · 2008-01-15 20:43:59

Anyone else having trouble? Sometimes it takes about 2 or 3 minutes for a post to go through and some pages are not loading. Also getting that white blank page that we used to get before the upgrade. Is the WTF server acting up again?

Seems ok again now, but was hanging fairly badly a few minutes ago ...

EDIT: ... and the problems are back (approx 20.50)

This is my second attempt to post on this thread. Other posts I've made on other threads never made it. I'm having serious problems with time outs.

Shh. You'll give people ideas.
I've been doing that, but I'm fairly sure that multiple queries will slow things down even more.

It seems fairly up and down right now.
Navigating isn't too bad, butposting takes a while.

Multiple clicks on the post reply button will just result in multiple replies, slowing things even further.

Lunch time every day is slow. It's when boards is at its busiest.

Heh.
I saw it just after hitting submit and wasn't going through the hassle of editing.

In other news, seems you have solved the problem, Asok.

Thanks.

Nope its still hit and miss - certain pages load just fine - the index page for example. Most are frustrating.

Take the Internets away. Don't fix it, Asok. Let it all go away.
