Baz Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I think what is annoying is the width of this page, possible caused by the above posting from Colin. It would be useful if the system could automatically correct this as this is not the first occasion it has happened.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joh Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Re website speed, Yes it is still very slow compared to other sites we visit, suggest you change from gas power to valves or get a new hamster.. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 It was rather unfortunate timing but we've been having some issues with other servers over the course of today that may have given the database timeouts.Isn't technology great.....

Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Is this error still happening, and if you hit refresh does it disappear?CheersTim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Performance certainly improved earlier this week but posting is now very slow again, as someone else said it is slow, slow, quick quick, slow, but it seems to have settled for slow. Movement within the Forum is quick but I have never had a problem with this anyway. The error page does clear after refresh or re-do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 It looks like we've now reached the point where the delays during new posts are due to the forum system itself rather than anything we're doing on the web hosting platform or servers.I'd be interested to get some feedback on whether it's always slow to post, or whether this only happens at peak times etc.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalpa Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 4pm-ish UK time today - Mozilla: either slow to post or wouldn't post - session timeout msgs. Switched to IE which worked fine. I think the forum performance has been faster for me this week but I have a feeling that IE forum access times are faster than Mozilla. Which is irritating as I prefer / normally use Mozilla.ps: I have a dialup connection - currently (and normally) 33kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Posting and Post Reply at the momment is very slow. I also think entering and looking at the Topics is much slower now than earlier this week. I hope this is only temporary problem.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I am finding things slow today - and I have just been upgraded to 4MB broadband. I am using Safari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 All,How are things now? We've been doing some performance tuning over the weekend that seems to have improved response times somewhat - or at least in our testing so far.If today's test is anything to go by, browsing the forum seems to be generally faster and posting is a little better. I'm hoping this will be maintained throughout the week, but please let us know if this isn't the case.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks Ron. You're right - we currently run database backups and consistency checks between 1-3am GMT. The way SQL Server 2000 handles these is to lock the tables to ensure that nothing changes during the operation, which seems to have a particularly negative impact on this forum system.We're currently running some trials with SQL Server 2005's new high availability features which in addition to letting us do index rebuilds while keeping the server online, will let us shift all backup operations to a secondary server - which will stop slowing things down.Cheers,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
