forum is so slow!

[ian]

is it just me or is the forum taking incredibly long to load today? :(

Just you :D Anyone else having that problem?

I don't think it's just you. i've been having trouble loading user profiles and galleries too.

I'm new, so I'm just poking around, looking at everyone else's tattoos.

Although it has sped up in the last ten minutes or so.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for letting us know!

We have occasional peaks in usage that slow things down a bit.

The slowness usually goes away after about 15 minutes.

We are working hard to resolve this issue and we're confident that we will eventually get rid of it for good!

Thanks again for the heads up, and also thanks to everybody for tolerating occasional the slowness when it happens.

Know that we are aware of it and working towards a solution.

Cheers

Hi Rob

You're right there was a big spike on the server just before you posted, but it's settled back down now.

Good news is that we're upgrading the server hardware next week so we should be seeing an end to these occasional slow downs altogether.

Thanks again to everybody for putting up with the occasional slowness, we do appreciate your patience, and we're working hard to resolve the issue.

Cheers
