slow, hanging etc

[Apache]

Is anyone else suffering from this? am I paranoid but since Haymarket appeared the site has been a PITA

[PetrolTed]

Nothing to do with Haymarket. They inherited my architecture.

To their credit they are investing heavily in upgrades which I am working on now.

I've noticed fairly regularly I've gone to open a thread or section and it's just hung not doing much at all, figured it was just somehting to do with firefox or my router but yes I've had the same.
Doesn't bother me really, just a minor inconvenience often resolved by clicking another thread which promply opens right away.

[ridds]

Suffering here as well. When it does it I can stil access various other sites so it appears to confined to PH..

[Balmoral Green]

At the risk of being boring, was just coming to this forum for an update, to see when it would be fixed.

What? You mean there are OTHER websites?

[FourWheelDrift]

Been doing it ages for me, seems about every 5 minutes pages will hang and not load and can take about 3mins before they do respond.

[RacingPete]

Appreciate the concerns and the wanting of an update, hopefully I will have an update meeting on this this week so will put a sticky up in this forum when I come back from that with more details.

[Balmoral Green]

My impotent mouse thanks you.

[sjc]

i'm getting this as well, nearly went and bought another bloody computer!

[Balmoral Green]

Business as usual...


The connection has timed out













The server at www.pistonheads.com is taking too long to respond.








* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

and to add insult to injury, this page took ages to load. AGAIN!!!!

[Apache]

glad it's not just me then

[Apache]

wtf is an anti flooding system, I got 2 errors before this loaded

[RacingPete]

The antiflood system stops people submiting too many posts too quickly. The purpose is to stop spammers submitting to all the forums really quickly. Though this does cause a few problems with some quick genuine responses, or suddenly needing to edit a post submitted. We have tried to put the limit at a happy medium, but sometimes it is a little inconvenience.

Update on the Server Migration...

We have nearly finished the Database migration, and over the next two weeks will be building and testing the new super-hamster powered website servers. Then at the beginning of August we will swap over to the new servers and everything will go super fast (thats the plan anyway). This move also involves some other new speedy kit to help with the website too.

Just to keep you informed of timescales

ETA: In simple terms... new hamsters installed in 3 weeks
