I don't remember the site ever having been so slow as nowadays
Timed out quite a few times for me tonight.

Hi RobA,
For me it was mostly the frontpage, yesterday I timed 27 seconds before it had loaded. The other pages were much faster at that moment, although lagging up to 10 seconds.
Current response for the frontpage (un-cached) for me is about 8 seconds. Pages below the frontpage are about 3 seconds so that's pretty ok.
hope this helps, cheers, DJ
I've been experiencing slowdowns periodically for the last few weeks. Initially I wrote it off as being a product of our corporate firewall. Now that I see others having the same/similar problem(s).
For me its usually the forums that are slow. Occasionally the login fails, and sometimes it hangs after I hit the "post quick reply" button.

Slowness issue definitely not fixed. frontpage continues to be really really slow - I haven't timed it but I've seen ~30s too. Forum in general is slow, but at least it's responsive, and I do not get timeouts.
I still think it's a db config issue, but that's just me guessing without any actual hard info.

The host is a VPS, and the database is shared... and we can't do much diagnostics. The price of a dedicated sql is quite high for the size we have
I've been adding some of the obvious indices to try and speed up the sql server...
EDIT - though I came in today the first time in a few days and was loading the front page in under 3 seconds....

Hi,
Just wondering if everybody else still has issues with site slowness?
And where did the "New Threads" box go?

Ditto slow loading... been that way for days, with a few 500 errors occasionally.
