Why is it so S-L-OOO-OO-WW?
I have found this forum to be really slow in the last few days. It takes anywhere from 20 to 65 seconds to load each page... which means it takes
minutes, not seconds, simply to 'log on' and see who's chatting about what or selling whatever to whoever. Can anyone tell me why? Is it my fully
virus-checked and defragged box running off cablse (doubt it)? Or is there some other reason? I can log on on three other forums in the time it takes
to simply load the AVD home page...

I've been having the same problem for about 2 weeks now. Occasionally I get to read two threads before the whole thing crashes and puts up an error
message saying the host server is out of action. These technological shenannigans are pissing me off.....:alien

Hehehe. Beb...Just a picture I had laying around my hard disk collecting dust. Funnily enough, I had to reload AVD 3 times just to reply. I have
found Firefox to be easier to access AVD with better success than internet explorer if this helps anyone. This bigpond broadband I am using is as
quick as that splitty off the TV ad doing a 1/4 mile. I guess they can't be sued for false advertising eh?

On the possitive side this mob http://www.ipswichrotorcrew.com/phpBB3/
put up a site lateish last year which they recently upgraded they would be a pretty small membership site--I'm just guessin there--though I think
they got a bit of a kickstart from ausrotary praps it may be worth the powers that be haveing a word with them the site's always slicker than cept
when they had a couple of short downs whilst they first uploaded and then when they upgraded.

Gotta admit, the site is rather pacy today compared to normal. I'd better have a lie down and a cuppa soon as I'm dizzy from all the
excitement.
Great work guys. Cheers.

Who 'owns' the server that the SQL db is hosted on. Is it leased? Is it a Microsoft host OS? Is the server IBM?
IMHO, if SQL is causing the problem it's usually due to a lack of server memory, if it's not hosted on a cluster or stretch cluster. SQL needs
serious GRUNT to run smoothly. I've seen SQL databases double in size in a couple of hours due to a data error, and then they get REALLY out of
control. Of course, re-building the database can be a pain if you don't have fail-over redundancy. If it's clustered, a node has probably stopped
playing the game. I know a couple of SQL industry experts if our server admins want to ask any questions I can pass them on.
A POSSE AD ESSE.

Great thanks must go to the admins who keep aussieveedubbers alive, I'll buy you a beer any day of the week.
Reminds me sometimes of our unnofficial service statement at work:
"We keep your systems running, despite your best efforts"
Cheers and thanks again to all involved.
