BYC Server Problems = Slow Site - Working Hard To Fix!

[PurpleChicken]

Response time is great and I did a few searches that would normally take 30 seconds
to complete. They came back in 2 seconds. Nice!!!

I attributed the slow response the last few nights to the popularity of the site.

So far, very fast, true test will be posting something.

Posting takes less then a second, before it would almost take a minute and time out alot for me, well just the last couple nights.

Thanks, Buddy. It was so slow when I called you that I actually had to walk away from the computer and do some housework, grocery shopping, and stuff. Sheeesh! Glad thats over.

Rob says to let you all know he is working on the server problems again and will update you all soon!

does that include having no links on the bottom of the forums?

Yup... funny enough, that's what was causing the problem. Again, a perfect example of how a simple thing that isn't done perfectly (like a php include using non-relative links, which is fixed now) can really impact a server when hundreds of people are refreshing pages and posting at the same time.

I'll keep a really close eye on things. Thanks everyone for your patience!

Wow... forum is super zippy fast right now!!!! I'll do what I can to keep it that way.

Thanks for all your dedication and hard work!

Guess I missed all the "underwhelming server" stuff as I was working outside and couldn't drag the computer with me! BYC withdrawal pains are never pretty!
