I'll check the error logs and see what's up.

Thanks for the report.

I'll second the REALLY REALLY Slow bit.

I think it's the MySQL database taking a hammering when searches are being performed. I've switched the search index settings to one that is less resource-hungry on the database tables.

If you still are experiencing these problems please report them here. Thanks.

Hi Foggy,

have noted that site is loading quicker now, great work, one bit there it was running slow and taking ages for pages to load to my browser. Also the banner will make the website load slower on user's browser's, though, one is able to disable this function and view the site in text only, suited more to those who have a slower connection &c.

I note that "Off Topic" is no longer accessible by unregistered users. (i.e. prompts you to login when you try to access that part of the forum.) I haven't seen an announcement advising a change, so wonder if it's one of the glitches like those reported in this thread.

I think it was implemented to reduce Spam.

Hi DT, yes you sure can -- Just head to the user control panel and change your style to subsilver2 which is largely text based: http://www.weatherforum.org.nz/phpBB3/ucp.php?i=165

Just a minor change I did there, to prevent spammers like Tim says and also I didn't think it was kinda right that 'just anybody' could lurk there so have restricted the access there.

Just joined the two topics together. That's good to hear it's faster. Some of the photos were taken by Andy.

I've found recently that is has been going very slow again (not constant problem but there are periods of sluggishness) - loading a page takes ages.

Tornado Tim · Unread post by **Tornado Tim** » Wed 10/06/2009 13:28

It must be very isolated because these page load quicker than ever.

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary...(apart from when flatties are downloading their atrocious home and away episodes

) when it is sluggish, what does the time say at the bottom of the page?
That way we can isolate it to see if the MySQL server is running slow or if it's a problem with congestion with your ISP.

It's a bit slow for me again this morning, I loaded this page then looked at the time down the bottom like you asked, said 1.577s. The post reply page has 1.501s.
Edit, Just to let you know, on the page straight after one has posted it said about 9.7s

jamie · Unread post by **jamie** » Sat 13/06/2009 12:14

heck! im getting 0.098 so yours is very slow

David · Unread post by **David** » Sat 13/06/2009 12:21

As I mentioned, an on and off issue. Fast now - 0.129s on this page

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Thu 18/06/2009 21:04

I did notice it being slow at one stage during the weekend, but all seems pretty fast since then.

jamie · Unread post by **jamie** » Thu 18/06/2009 21:28

yes i have noticed its slow on my parents computer a lot of the times but never my laptop. Computer is using IE and my laptop i use FF.

I recall a topic where members were asked to ensure they put their general location into their profile. Yet I can't find it. Is this something that can be made more obvious or better still a joining requirement on the form?

Willoughby · Unread post by **Willoughby** » Mon 29/06/2009 17:11

It's now a joining requirement on signup. I will PM that person kindly to update his location entry.

Go to Control panel then user control panel from the top menu at the top of the page then profile, then location is on that page.
