Slow down
« on: 13 January 2012, 16:28 »
I've noticed that since January the forum seems to slow down quite a bit, sometimes taking a minute or two for pages to open.  Getting a lot more connection errors as well  :undecided:

Anyone else finding this, or is it just me?  :grin:

Server configuration. Unfortunately you don't easily just buy a server pre-configured to run blazingly fast as a forum.

Work is in progress and has been since I moved the site at the start of the month.
