Forum seems to be running very slow, if at all for me today...
Pages take ages to load, and I often get "page not found" message?
Rest of the interweb seems fine...
Right, who cut that trans-tasman data cable :poke: :D
Cheers

Apache on the webserver is getting bogged down. The hosts are looking into it.

It's fine right now (nice and fast).

fwiw, very slow here, when it doesn't fail it takes several minutes to load, another DOS attack? related to recent unrest maybe?

Time: 10:41 PM. This site is doing some crazy stuff tonight. 5 mins ago I posted my latest mars image & the message I left, I spaced the sentences out like I usually do. After posting I noticed the message was all bunched up with no spacings at all. Also having severe timeouts & according to my status bar, everytime a page downloads it has errors on it.

It's dead Jim. Pages are now taking half an hour to partially load.

Half an hour!? It's taking me about 20 seconds.. I know it's not good right now.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

I'm working with the hosts to fix the problem.

It's not quite so bad now at midday.

It's better this arvo, too.

I've been in touch with the server hosts, the server needs to have some extra RAM put in it. Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.. i'll get back to you with an ETA but that should hopefully fix the problem.
