Site very slow

[DukeTyrion]

Not sure if it's just me, but the site seems to be very slow at the moment.

I think it's been getting generally worse since the official forums closed, and with a flurry of transfer activity expected today, it's probably going to be at it's worst at the moment.

Just wondered if anyone else was having similar issues and if there were any plans in the pipelines to improve things?

Thanks

No it's not just you, I was finding the site to be painfully slow yesterday, and I was wondering if I was having a connection problem, but I wasn't, I visited numerous other sites and they loaded instantly, whereas this one was taking an eternity to load.

I am afraid I am having the same trouble myself these past few days.

...we have given our provider a ring to see what can be done. They are talking about moving to either a virtual or dedicated server, when they mentioned this they were in the process of setting up virtual servers, both of which will be able to cope with future demands.

Due to recent events the unprecedented demand in new membership and consequent traffic have increased dramatically, but we are working on it to bring about a solutions so that we can get back up to speed - literally.

We share your frustration at the slow site speed, particularly at such a vital part of the season and hopefully we all witness a return to normal speed sooner than later...

Thanks for the update LB.

At least I know it's not my PC playing up!

Site seems to be getting slower by the day.

Is there any news on getting us onto a faster hosting service?

DT we are very much aware of the problem and had we unlimited resources we would have come up with one of the three potential solutions to the problem, as things stand Administrator is very much picking up the costs on his own. As the admin team are employed in full time work and one of shift work it is proving difficult to communicate with each other at the same time at the moment.

Please bear with us and we hope to have a solution in the near future...

If you need money let us know. Between us I'm sure we'll pick up the costs.
