Web site problem

Motor31 · 02-22-2008, 10:17 AM

Has anyone else noticed the web site here is very slow to respond? Of all the places I visit, this web site is the slowest to load or change pages. Several times, now getting to be a daily situation, the pages will actually "time out" before moving to the next one. It's getting worse as time goes on.

Yes I have noticed the same.
I think it started about 3 weeks ago or so.

Agree

It has certainly sped up in the last day or so but is still just a tad slower than other sites I visit. Still a VAST improvement over last week. The Admin must have done some clean up. Thanks!

The site has slowed down again. It took 3 minutes to log on and another one just to open this page. This happened at 11:50 AM CDST.

We are working on this now. Trying to determine if this is a hosting company/server issue or if someone hacked in and loaded sometinng that is chewing up server resources.

Website/Forums should be back up to speed now. We made some corrections to the database and ran an optimization.

I don't think it worked it's slower tonight than it has ever been 03-12-08 1046pm Central time.

It's definitely not working. It took over 45 seconds just to clear the old page before starting to load the reply window today at 9:30 CDST. I've had the web site time out several times in the last 2 weeks just moving from one page to another in the same thread. Something is doing major damage to the site in regards to navigation.

It's not my PC or connection either, this is the slowest site I visit anywhere and I go to some rather "busy" locations.

It's taken me over 9 minutes just to post this message. The site times out on submitting the message. Then I got a can't find the site message on the browser indicating the site was gone or offline. At this point it looks like the server is hosed or the ISP has totally flogged their bandwidth.

Working on optimizing the database now.

I dunno if anyone has mentioned this yet. The search function is hosed. A few of us tried to do a search ion the Mobile Suites threads and it either did not turn anything up at all or it just found the most recent (last few days) mention of the search subject.

BTW thanks for trying to stay on top of it for us. :wink:

The log in is slow. Switching posts is slow. Searching is not possible. Logging out is slow. Site says only two browers.
