Stupendously Slow Server

[parksie]

Sometimes the VB-World server doesn't just slow down, it stops and does nothing for about 5 minutes...can we have it fixed, please?

thankyou :)

a few minutes ago it was going so slow I thought I was actually going backwards.... :(

please fix this problem....

I have this problem also sometimes.:(

Yeah, this especially sucks when you want to edit a post and than you get to the edit page, edit it, and click the Submit Reply button. (Process in between here: 3+ minutes) Than when you get back to the page, it says that it was edited :(. Not that it's a problem, but you usually want to edit it and get it fixed before the person actually sees the code.

I thought it was just me, thought it was my ISP which was slow. A free isp can be really crappy, but it works :D. But I'm glad its not just me.

But than again...(hehe)...it could be that there are a lot of people on this message board and that could be pressing Submit Reply all at once :p.

parksie et al,

I presume you're talking about the actual VB-World.net server (not forums.vb-world.net, which resides on a seperate server). We're aware of the performance issues on the VB-World.net server, and I'm working to shift the load onto the newer (and more powerful) forums.vb-world.net server.

Watch this space for more info...

All the best,

James

No, it is the forums server.

We are working on improving the performance of our servers. In the long run, this will probably involve upgrading to better hardware.

I've never encountered this problem :D

Maybe not, but we're the ones who use it at peak times :(. (Read - all the time :))
