Ted - are your servers ok? Getting very sloooow

[alexkp]

Is it just me, or has Ted forgotten to feed the hamster that's powering the forum servers?

I am experiencing very, very long delays on updating and particularly posting.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting this?

I get it alllllllllllll the time. very very annoying! but a little frustration is worth it to sample the goodies of PH

mmm... shite.

[agent006]

Yeah, i'm getting the same. Usually when posting, and sometimes threads just don't open at all. Feels like a network problem as it's all zippy and fast when it does work.

I see the mileometer is already past 42,800. I guess the demands are pretty heavy from time to time?

Over the last couple of weeks I'd say that 90% of the time it seems to be fine (512k Broad Bean) - but at some times (peak - lunchtime and early evening GMT?) there can be the odd very l-o-n-g wait.....

my office has a 10MB BB line and quite often it just stops...sometimes it open the page after 2,3,4,5 minutes, sometimes I've left it for an hour and it hasn't moved. the only solution I find is to stop, refresh, and hope...repeat

The mind boggles

The servers are all fine, running well within their capabilities. I do experience the same problem myself from time to time but haven't got to the bottom of the problem yet.

[Trooper2]

Must be what I was experiecing this morning when I inadvertently posted the same reply 7 times.

FWIW, after a lot of this happening to me recently, today the site has been superquick - in case you did anything, in which case it worked!

[PetrolTed]

We made a few tweaks and generally things have been faster. Not convinced that's the end of the story though.

[caro]

You were right,Ted (when is it ever the end of the story with computers? ) it's intermittently slow again today, and esp on posting replies/moving to next page type stuff. Happy Hunting!

[slinky]

Things are exceedingly slow at the moment..

Tried on two different net connections, 2mb in the office and 1mb here at home, both the same story...
