Just a note guys and gals, this website as it get increasingly popular has gone from slow to crawling when it comes to loading pages.

What servers are you running this on? Is it a too narrow comm's pipe issue, a server memory issue, a database connections limitation or a CPU bottleneck?

Most websites I visit load forum overview pages almost sub second and clicking on a forum thread loads it in well less than 2 seconds. For IceinSpace it can take 7 - 15 seconds to open a thread - at home or at work - both on broadband and the same to load the overview page.

What is the future likely to hold?

PS

Why do all threads appear in reverse chronological order - newest first and how do I fix this so I can see the oldest posts in a thread first?

Thanks
