I just timed out trying to start a new thread at 4:09pm (5:09pm Eastern).  Clicked 'Post' and the progress bar at the bottom of my browser stopped halfway through.

I ended up closing the window.

17:10 -17:12 CDT took a while for the page to load. (Is this related to the cron jobs??)

That has to be your PC. I monitored the smileys for an hour or so  and didn't see any difference. 


I have noted that right now, the forum is having some slow page loads for me from 17:33 through 17:40. It's about every other page load.

8:14 Central.  No problems.  Sporadic during the day, but it got better the later in the day.  Is our server located in Burma?  I heard they had a major server issue today, what with the elections coming up...

I will let you know if anything else comes up.

I am not lying.   :lmao:

During a news break, listening to Levin, I heard that Burma was having a server issue.  Seems they got hacked right before the elections.  It was a "Server not Found" error.  I had a "Server not Found" error a time or two, in the last few days.  I immediately thought of our cave here.  I wish I could find a decent link to the story.

The forum seems to be a bit "laggy" right now. Any page change is taking over 5 secs.

I tried coming on at 5:20 a.m. (central time).

Finally got on at 5:28 a.m. (central time).

Now that I'm here, speed seems okay.....for now.

It didn't take 8 mins for me this morning, but a couple of minutes around 06:30. Now  that I'm on the Cave, it seems to be loading OK.

Same here.  I just tried to post a response in another thread and nothing happened. :(

Between 14:13 CDT & 14:17 CDT, page transitions were pretty slow......... 8 secs or so to make the transition. Replies have been slow all day, for the most part.  (smileys ??)

Sunday morning, 4:43 a.m. central time, 3:43 a.m. mountain time.

I came on okay and all that, and responded to a comment by TVDOC in the computer forum.

I hit "post."

By 3:52 a.m., the little green boxes showing the progress of posting (lower right-hand side) had been stuck about 75% of the way to completion since I had hit "post."

I gave up, and "x"ed out.

regarding the problems this morning:

the nightly backups run automatically at 3:00 AM and 3:30AM eastern.  although they don't run very long, that would restrict database access to just the dump processes.  that can't be avoided.

then some daily maintenance runs every morning at 6:30AM.  weekly maintenance runs sunday mornings at about 6:45.  I don't know why those jobs are scheduled that late (although it was probably me that did it  :p), but it has probably been like that forever.

most of it really shouldn't cause a problem, but I will fit it all into an earlier window . . . probably 3-5AM.

11:33am (Eastern) today... I'm getting slow/incomplete page loads.  The site wouldn't load for me the first time I opened it.
