Database Problems maybe?

Is anyone else having a problem with the site at the moment.

It is taking forever to load anything and then submitting a reply is a catch-as-catch can propotion.

As a test, I went over to CodeGuru and had no problems at all with that site, so I'm guessing it isn't me.

[RobDog888]

It isnt you. I am getting them this morning too. Very slow, page timeouts when replying, etc.

[SeanK]

Further research has narrowed it down to one thing.

The "RobDog888 Anniversary" thread in Chit Chat.

Whenever I try to open that thread, it loads about half way, then freezes.

The only way I can get my browser back is to close it completely, and reopen it.

[RobDog888]

Its happening for me on any thread I try to reply to.

Ps, I know that CC thread is of high demand lol.

[Hack]

I've had a problem with that thread as well.

I've not be able to successfully reply to it and it has locked by browser.

[penagate]

Alright, I binned it to avoid it causing problems for anyone else. Sorry Rob.

[RobDog888]

Well it wasnt the CC thread as I was and am still having issues in other forums/threads.

[brad jones]

Are the issues indicated in this thread still happening? Please let us know if they are.

Brad!

I have had no problems today.

[RobDog888]

For me, it was with several threads, control panel, and other forums. But today all is much better. I really think it was due to the infamous "vbwire news feed" cusing pages to hang.

[Ellis Dee]

It's lagging beyond belief right now.

[RhinoBull]

Very slow since this morning.

[Hack]

Are you two (Ellis and Rhino) still having issues?

It is running just fine for me.

[GaryMazzone]

It's running slow for me.

[Hack]

I blame this on Gary and Rhino. You guys out East sent the slows out to the Midwest didn't you?

Right now, the whole site is running very slow for me as well.

[RobDog888]

Slooooow for me too this morning.

[RhinoBull]

I blame this on Gary and Rhino. You guys out East sent the slows out to the Midwest didn't you?

Since you and Brad are in the Midwest I think you are the "preferred" customers if you both have no performance issues because it's bad on the West Coast as well.

[RhinoBull]

What's up with performance lately? It's still quite slow... Basically every day but not consistently.

[brad jones]

My post from the 17th was actually from Portugal . It wasn't slow for me then.

I hit a semi-slow point earlier this morning, but just for a short while. It wasn't slow enough for our techs to address, but slower than usual. Regardless, I'll ping our server guys and see if they can review the system to see if anything is amiss and to make sure there is plenty of cache and resources to keep things operating smoother.

Brad!

Really slooooow for me again this morning. Getting timeouts and really bad navigation.

Me too early on, but, it seems to have cleared up.

I haven't had any timeouts in a while. *looks around for wood to knock on*

[penagate]

For the first time in a long time, it is also slow here. I got a couple of timeouts about half an hour ago.

[SeanK]

Are all you guys still having a problem?

Everything is working great on my end.

[RobDog888]

Seems to now be fixed as speeds are back to "normal" somewhat.

As I mentioned it's not consistent - it could be fast and next minute very slow (for me at least).
Performance may even vary from page to page. And it's going on for a week or so.
