Site Running Slow or Timing Out... Jun 10 2008, 11:53 AM

For an hour tonight www.soEmo.co.uk has been running slow and timing out. This is obviously frustrating to myself and the users. I have raised the issue with the hosting company. Clearly all sites may experience these problems, but please use this topic to note down times, error messages etc. As the site gets larger and larger it is crucial that there is minimal downtime. The hosting company is the extemely reputable Lunarpages and in fairness there has been very few problems as of yet.

The forums are still running slow when you go onto the list of topics in the sections. I have made it slightly quicker, but can't see what the problem is at the moment grrr!

GO ME!! Looks like sorted it now :] Added another index to the forum posts database table to speed up the INNER JOIN between the forum posts and forum topics tables in the SELECT query.

Well it could be the hosting or even me actually working on the site which will sometimes slow the site.

The site was for a couple of hours today. This was due to the servers being upgraded. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
