Forum Loading Speed

[MrKowz]

Is anyone else experiencing dramatically slower loading speeds on the forums since the update yesterday? It is taking a significantly longer time (upwards of 20-30 seconds) for any page to refresh or for a reply to post.

I started to have this problematic since Thursday on my side. Since yesterday, I'm sure it's even worse ...

I thought I noticed a slow-down last week, but I attributed that to just randomness. This week it is quite bad and consistent.

Updating on this, I'm still experiencing loading speed issues throughout the day. I have noticed that around 9:45AM CST (has occurred each day this week), I start to get database errors for a short time. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I've been having problems for a week or so now normally at its worst between 3 & 5pm BST.
Also getting loads of database errors, either just basic error or sometimes with error messages, normally about time settings

Ditto with the problems post forum upgrade, I've just PM'd the owner

This correlates with the time I've been noticing the worst of the issues as well.

Thanks, Mole. If there is any testing or data collection they need a hand with, let me know. I'd be happy to assist.

I have also had the same problems all times during the day and night. This problem has been going on now for nearly a month. Some times it can take 60 seconds or more to open a link.

And on numerous times I have not even been able to get Mr. Excel to open up at all.
After 60 seconds I just give up.

This statement is my biggest worry. If the forums are loading slowly and/or not at all, it is likely turning away not only people who are looking for help, but also turning away those who normally are the helpers.
