Since I know a lot of you have commented about slower speeds on the site lately, I've started working on speeding it up and fixing some of the slow pageload speeds.

I just finished one big hitter, so I'm hoping you all will notice faster pageloads starting now.

If you continue to see pageload errors and timeouts, please document the time and date that it occurred, and if possible, post a screenshot of the error, and I will take a look at addressing any additional issues.

Cheers!

Posting is now a little faster, It was getting hung up when I hit submit and would take a minute or 5 to post, but I just thought it was my crap netbook!

Yeah, I had a few of those issues too. I'm still trying to get to the bottom of it, but for now it seems a lot faster on my end. Just making sure it's having the same positive effect for everyone else.

other than the occasional page that just won't serve, I've not noticed any issues.
Granted I am usually on during the day when leisure traffic might not be as heavy.

Dave, do you have any specific times or errors?

I can't do much without knowing the specifics of the errors and when they occurred. If it happens again, can you take a few notes?

same exact error message as before. 11:18 pm EST 3/01/2013. It occurred while loading the page after I clicked the "forums" button at the top of the page.

Not too long before that, i experienced a really slow post.

It was around the same time for a couple of slow postings.

And here I was going to tell you that the forums don't like you Dave... But Matt saved you from that one!

Thanks guys, I'll take a look when I get back in front of a computer. Hopefully it will yield some light on the issue.

Got this again this morning a few times while trying to load the forums page. The home page wouldn't load either. Got a simple block text message saying "failure to communicate with server" or something like that.

Happened around 10:13-10:16 this morning.
