Server Speed Feedback Needed

4:30 am pacific time, and I'm getting long load times in the forums. Some are worse than others, but they're all pretty bad. The pages just sit there, doing nothing, then when something actually engages, it loads pretty quickly.

The heat is playing with my sleep patterns, which is why I'm up at this ungodly hour. I kinda thought I'd get better performance from the forums this early, but no.

Yeah, server load is high for some unexplained reason. Looking into it, thanks Feminist.

These forums have always been god-awful slow.

Does this problem stem from not generating enough revenue to properly equip the site?

What would it take to upgrade the equipment to the point that doing things like searching or casual surfing would be possible?

Forums have been excruciatingly slow for me for the past sesveral days. Doesn't matter if I am at work or at home or the time of day. The little loading bar at the bottom gets half way across and just freezes, sometimes for a full minute or longer.

It's taking me forever to load pages today.

My browser, Firefox, just sit's there with "tansfering data from ehg-globalgamingleague.hitbox (or something similar) in the info bar. Sometimes it's taking like two minutes to open a single thread and the same to actually reply.

Same pretty slow here as well.

Have been very slow last couple of day's

every time
ehg-globalgamingleague.hitbox.com tries to download a bunch from my computer it stalls with a blank page. Could we plz have something done about ehg-globalgamingleague.hitbox.com .

Noted. Thanks you guys.

While I really enjoy this site it has become increasingly unreliable in terms of both the speed at which pages are displayed as well as receiving numerous "Cannot find server" errors. Both of these issues are apart from the normal database errors that still frequently occur.

It doesn't seem to matter if I am connecting from home or work, the net result is the same.

I have also tried connecting at different times during the day and night and while I realize that the load on your site is probably heaviest during the day I have still experienced all of the above issues after midnight PST.

TIA

In the morning up to 11 am (GMT) it takes like 10 seconds to load an item. It gets slower during the rest of the day. After 7 pm (GMT) most topics and posts time out.

Is it disabled forever?

No, search will automatically turn off if the server load hits a certain number.

ehg-globalgamingleague.hitbox.com
Is really getting to be a problem, every time it try's to load my computer hangs for up to 3 1/2 min now. And I can not take them off the block lists I have(on firewall level) for security reasons. The ads give a bit of problems now and then, depending on the amount of users, but that is something I can live with.
Is there any thing you can do to solve this problem with ehg-globalgamingleague.hitbox.com?

keep getting "cannot find server" message

been happening last couple days..

also when i edit a post it takes forever to load

Takes forever to load all pages for me, and half the time it goes to cannot find server, especially when im trying to quote things.

Stockholm, responded to your PM. Malice Black, masterbeef, noted. I am having regular conversations with the server admins to get all this resolved.

The server has been lagging pretty bad the past few days, it seems, but it is causing me more problems than normal. It used to be that when the server was lagging I could just hit refresh every time the "page cannot be displayed" error came up and eventually the page would load. This even worked when it would come up with "page cannot be displayed" after submitting a new post. When that happened, I would just click refresh once or twice and the page would load with my new post added to it. However, this week I've already had 2-3 instances where I have typed up a long, detailed post, click submit, and it can't put up my post and I have to do it all over again.

Here's what happens: I click Reply and fill out a post and click submit. It comes up and says "page cannot be displayed". I hit refresh and it says "invalid thread specified", and that's all it says, no matter how many times I click refresh after that. After "invalid thread specified" if I click the back button the blank reply form shows up, but everything I typed is gone. Alternate scenario: I click Reply and fill out a post and click submit. It comes up and says "page cannot be displayed". I click the back button and it goes to the blank reply form and everything I typed is gone. It's really irritating to keep putting a lot of work into saying something only to have it disappear into the lag netherworld. I know it is not adding my posts because if I open up a new browser window and go to the topic I was trying to post in and click refresh on the most page, my post is not there. I have even tried waiting for like an hour and gone through all the posts in the topic, and my llost post never shows up.

Is there something wrong with the database, or is the server just so terribly overwhelmed with traffic that it's having trouble processing new posts now? Poor guru server

Same thing for me also all this week

Mmhmm. I know. As I have had to learn painfully, before hitting submit please highlight and right-click and select 'copy'. Or highlight and hit Ctrl + c.

I can attest to that.. But it does teach you some good skills, such as saving stuff before you submit it online. It's happened to me with wembail servers as well as GWG, but now that I've gotten used to it, my posts land with 100% accuracy.
