The forums and part of the site will be offline from 1:00am to 3:00 am as we upgrade to a new version of the forums and install new hardware.

Tonights upgrades may speed things up. Really the speed you are seeing depends on where I set the Cache settings. Our processor and HD are rarely pushed over 25% and our T1 line is running at about 45% capacity with bursts up to 100%. It is not a true T1 actually it is a splinter of a OC12 line so it I have watched it burst well outside of a T1's capability. Either way some people seem to think the site is going faster some slower. I have the cache settings turned way down right now to debug some stuff and as I bring them back up you should might see a speed increase.

When people say that the site is responding slower what areas are you talking about? The forums or the rest of the site?

Craig, I've experienced slow response times in all areas, but mostly the forums...since the last upgrade or downtime.

Disregard, cranial/rectal inversion on the part of the operator.

Ok I will take a look at those areas. The image center runs off of PHP and I think I can find the slowdown there. The forums I will look into as well.

It's slow in all areas for me too. For instance, from the time I clicked reply, it took 28 seconds for this screen to fully load :(
Yes, I'm on a 56K modem and if an alternative was available where I live, I'd probably get it but it's not so I can't.
