Plus today, I got the database error page while trying to access pm's. Had to close down the site and reopen to get it to work.

Have cleared all the cache and stuff.

I have been having similar issues for the last couple of days. Another thing that I have noticed is that the site is logging me off fairly frequently, perhaps every hour or so. The logging off part is not a problem, I am guilty of wandering off for long periods of time, it is just different than it used to be.

I've cleared the server's cache so let me know if that helps. If not I may have to do a reboot to clear out left over connections from our multitude of spammers and/or attackers.

The reality is that the slowdown is a side effect of a lot of things. I mentioned a few above but we also have the reality of being a large, active site that gets attention of others, malicious and other wise.

site is not super fast like it used to be. small funky stuff.

e.g., like the full smiley page goes crazy as it loads to wait for "find".
Could it that Too Many, smiley's, jpg's, mega pictures and graphics, and You Tubes, and photo's are causing this errant behavior?

Oh certainly that adds to it as well. But without those what would the site be like? It's easy enough to adjust by turning pictures off for the site. You can use something like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...textonly&hl=en to reduce your browsing to text only and that should do a marked speed improvement.

Linus, I am still finding it very slow loading i.e. my dial up loaded faster than this. LOL.

Havent gotten any database errors yet.

I finally did a restart of our web and database bits and that seems to have (I hope!) cleared up the slowness.

Hullo... not sure what kind of glitch this is or even where to put it... I've read the threads and can't tell... I changed my icon. and it shows in my profile, but not when I post. the old one stays. Any suggestions?
