And again, for another several minutes. And when it comes back, posting to this thread takes several minutes to complete.

Yes!
Probably more now, than before we swapped servers.  :scratch:

All seems ok, until I want to see the result of 20mins of typing....... I get Fetching Preview.  :bang: :bang:

Thought it was ME.  ::)

Incidentally, this is the third time I've tried to post this reply........  :poke:

Eric,

I was having problems this moring, about 9:00AM or so. Was on again about 5:30PM everything seemed ok.

Right now, 6:30PM everything seems fine still.

Bernd

Modified to add:

Almost 7:00PM worked fine.

So I found a couple of issues.

1. Between 12am and 2am EST, the server runs a host of maintenance programs and hogs up CPU and memory making things slow way down.
2. I had ordered an extra gig of ram. it was there for a awhile but seems to have disappeared. I have opened a case with the hosting company.

There were some database issues that got worked out over the past few days. In case you didn't know, we crashed on Friday night. The hosting service got us back up pretty quick, but I found a bunch of issues with the databases that I had to fix. Just finished a little while ago.

Still working on resolving everything.

I think the problems with slowness and other issues not related directly to the forums server space etc.There has has been an increase in the amount of hack attacks and cyber warfare in the last 2 weeks. Could be tied to the worlds current, Economic dealings or just Opportunists. The way the backbone of the internet is set up there are bottle neck spots, and other things that can slow down data.
Since the server is in Canada, and members are all across numerous borders, time zones etc. I personally  think that the current internet infrastructure, is in worse shape then the powers to be let on.  :doh:

Wife is a Farmville/Frontierville zombie, and she has been complaining that it is slowing up again, I only had issues with this site the other night as mentioned. Any of the other sites that I frequent, only occasional slow loadings assorted times and days.

Eric,

This is really getting annoying. I can load 10 other sites whilst waiting for Madmodder to load.

Once it is loaded, it doesn't perform much better.

Took 3 goes to upload this.

Yup. Not the sites fault, but the hosts fault. They had an issue with the VPS hardware... Started with the site having a slow response time to not being able to access it. Hopefully it is fixed now.

I get up when I'm brassed off with watching Sky News going around it's 1 hour cycle of gloom and despondency ...

Usually about 7:30.

I get up somewhere between 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Mostly nearer 2pm.

I suffer with Non 24hour syndrome (or something) sometimes referred to as 2'til2.

I am upset with the new hosting company. While they had some of the best reviews and good uptime, it seems I am on the phone with them more trying to get things fixed. This has been twice in one week now. I think I am going to look for yet another hosting company.  :bang:

Maybe let it ride for a while before considering emigrating.

I find it's a lot faster than the previous host. ( When it works   ...  :scratch: )

What's the thing at the bottom of the page, ie ' Page created in x.xx seconds with xx queries. ' ??

'Cos it does better than HMEM by a considerable margin if that's any criterion.

EDIT....  just flicked from MM to HMEM twice ..
