Scheduled downtime.

I am going to be doing some maintenance on the website sometime over the next few days. I am not sure when I will have the time. The work should increase the speed seen when accessing the forums. Just wanted to let people know so that they won't freak out.

(Yes, I am talking about you Lou ;))

does anyone else have the problem when you submit your post it takes a LONG time to load the next screen?

it only happens around 50% of the time.

DITTO, but with a higher percentage of happening. I just assumed it was this old computer, or Charter's bandwidth.

Update: Of course the last two posts went quickly! It's just like having your car exhibit the same symptoms to the mechanic when you take it in.

i think i tried pressing reload once and it said something about not being able to post a duplicate message. . . . .that was a while ago though.

Maintenance has been completed. Let me know if it is faster, slow or the same when trying to access the forums (reading, posting, etc).

Thanks,

Chris

Jumping around post to post, to DB & inside, and back to forum seem quicker. Uploading a post I'm not so sure about---and I'm informed we have 16+ mb/s. I'd test post more but nothing new to say.

In the past when I copied the database to a new server we saw a dramatic speed increase....but not this time. Well, it was worth a try. Thanks to all who responded.
