It seems like the forums is getting slower and slower

It has to do with the load on the site. During the peak hours the site is going to be slower because of the massive amount of users on the site. The only thing we can do is donate to DigitalPoint, and hope it helps get upgrades.

 

It was little slow today but came back to original after some minutes.
There was a database error while ago and such seems normal to me as I have seen it so many times. So I hope the data are secured enough.

 

Not only slower but producing fail loading errors.

I experiencing this behavior early this morning, but because now I'm not on my home's Internet connection I thought it was due to the place where I'm now connected from.

 

It becomes slow, Fast, Slow, Fast

Sometimes a pain in the *** for opening the site, and I shout at my ISP provider

 

It's been slow for me too, I've noticed it in the past couple of days..

 

same here. I made duplicate threads and couldn't log into DP

 

haven't noticed anything, except one time today when I tried to post it took forever to go through, apart from that nothing much.

 

Slow, Fast, Slow, Fast, Slow, and some an extra dollop of slowness to finish it off.

 

very slow for me today also
thought it was my connection but other sites work fine

 

And it's quite fast right now

 

Those things aren't useful, especially the last thing has absolutely no impact on performance, it'll just shrink the user / pm table for a few MB.

 

Yeah that's it. It's not a space issue. It's the server getting hung up with read / write requests. Nobody reads old threads so I imagine them rows aren't causing any load whatsoever. It's all the people refreshing their inbox, threads and posting one liners that causes the problems.

I think DP should hold weekly "No F5/Refresh" days so users can browse in luxury for 1 day a week.

 

i think moderator of dp know what they have to do, just let them do their job. trust them
