Is it me ,,but the last few days , the site has nearly come to a stand still. [:O]

It taking ages for pages to load etc .

It seemed slow after the server move , but recently it has gotten much worse.[V]

I am using a 750K broadband and its loading slower than a dialup.

All other web wages on other sites are OK ,,just the forum.

Whats wrong ??[?]

Anybody else having these problems and has Tabs or anybody know why !!

I had the same problem and was advised to lower my settings. A mate did that for me cos I'm hopeless with 'puters and it worked OK. Things slowed down again after I upgraded my Zone Alarm firewall with a download of tinternet.The same mate uninstalled the whole programme then reinstalled it from scratch and I was back to whizzing through the pages. Hope this helps mate.

It is slower recently, for sure.

 

[golfgttdi130]

Yes I agree, definately slower recently.[]

Yep for me too - makes reading and posting a nightmare []

It's seems to be very sporadic, one moment its flying next its slow.

At the moment it *seems* ok - we could do with getting a log of downtime/poor performance and seeing is everyone is affected as I'm not convinced its the same for everyone.

Nothing to do with the new server being nicked then Tabs? Come on, you borrowed a friend some perm loation and a moustache comb and in return they blagged you a new server?

I know what its like in Liverpool, I watch Brookside!!![]

I keep getting the following error when try to use the search.

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'

Script timed out

/forum/search.asp

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

As for speed, not noticed a difference over here in Japan,and it does have over 6,200 miles for the forum to travel for me []

Slow for me too

Tabs,

I have noticed it slow aswell, but I dont think its the forum/webserver/database as all the pages that seem to load slowly have quick load speeds at the bottom, for instance I had a page take < 20 secs to load but the load time shown was 1.74 secs.

I have on 2 ocassions done a tracert (ie when the forum was down) and noticed that sometimes traffic is being routed through sprintlinks network and sometimes through your providers "own" network. have also done a few pathpings and these provide abit more info according to one done tonight it looks like your provider is having trouble routing traffic accross to of there vlans.

I would guess that the providers network is having a few glitches at the moment.

recalcitrant to say the least here too!!

512k ADSL

and me, i'm on 1mb broadband

 

[stokeballoon]

And me, go back to snail mail, and pigeon!

 

[Tom R32]

Between 18:10 and 18:28 the site was just dead, I could not get up one page - then, all of a sudden its fine again!!

Something amiss here guys - ASP messages all over the place.

It's always been 'slow' in the 2+ years i've been visiting, just varies from acceptably slow to ............very slow

Thanks for that Andy, that seems to tally up with what I've discovered. If I try to initiate an RDP connectiont to the server during the slow periods it just sits there for at least 2 mins, so this is certainly server wide, or at the most system wide performance loss.

I'm on their support system now (which sits on a seperate sever) and its slow as hell too so I'm guessing what your saying above ir starting to ring true.

Cheers for the heads up [^]

I will do another check tonight ,,but I am noticing the slow down ( last night more than any other time ) varies durring the time of day.

Basically durring ( when I get time to go online ) afternoons have been fine ,,then as early evening kicks in it slows, and yesterday late evening ,, well I gave up and logged off .

Its like a off peak and peak time slow down.
