Good news folks... within a week or so we should be hosted in a proper datacenter with much improved connection speeds. The exact move date is not firmed up yet and there will be some down time when it happens, but things should be *much* improved once we're in our new home.

Thanks for your patience, just a little longer!

I am lucky I got in tonight, its 1800 AEST, 31 Jan 10.

This keeps popping up not allowing me to accsess any of my previous posts - "An Error Has Occurred! The server is currently under high stress. Please try again shortly."

Anyone else having issues with this and a similar message.

Site speed is really fluctuating from extremely slow/frozen to almost normal/acceptable.

Over the past 24 hours, I would say it has been painfully slow for me up until the past few minutes.  Slow enough that I couldn't wait any longer for the site to load to so I could check out this thread.

This morning, I would have described it as "slower than cold molasses going uphill backwards on a January morning"  ;D.

Seems normal now though.

For a long time now, speed has been very poor (here) at the best of times, often even after 15 mins with no action on still tryting to open a page, usually the home main one, it often never fully loads.

I would say almost 90% of the time it is extremly/outragously slow, the remaining 10% frozen/idle. That being said, one  log on last week it was pretty much normal, but that was short lived.

Its not my PC, this one is new, and any other site I go to is fast as per normal.

I hope that one day these shorfalls WRT speed can be just a bad memory.

Sorry Mike, here in Montreal, I have to echo the above to the letter.

Cheers.

Last night was the (lately) typical slow loading, half-loading, etc.  This morning, I was unable to get the site at all for awhile, but now it seems to be working quite well.  Did a little tweaking, Mike?
If you can't be a good example, be a warning.

Yeah, but it didn't seem to help. The move to the datacenter is still our best bet, but it's taking longer than originally planned to organize.

Site is painfully slow to load, lots of half loaded/not loading at all pages or the site just crashes on me...... rest of the interweb is fine though......

A quick update on the Plague (thanks Vern). Our future datacenter is moving to a new building, and we're moving in after that. I don't have a definite ETA on the move yet but I know the datacenter owners are looking at moving quickly. I'll keep you updated as I learn more.

In the mean time, try to stay patient!


Cheers
Mike
