Forums are Painfully slow
They're "stick a knife in me gullet and pour salt in the wound" painfully slow.
Pages can take upward of a minute to appear. And that's the "normal" state of operations.
I know you guys have to be seeing it, but wow, I can't just sit idly by and say nothing.
In an effort to try to be productive, can I inquire what the feasability would be of using static views for your database that get updated on a chron job that runs every 15 seconds?
It would make the forums only update the thread order and new post indicators etc every 15 seconds, but if that sped things up, I'd be for it.
It's gotten so bad, that I refresh and then go off to do something and come back later. I spent all night last night trying to read the posts that interested me on the second monitor of my computer while I played a video game on the first.
It's painful. =(
(I needs my D&D crack!)

But we in it shall be remembered- We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
... That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Shakespeare: "Henry V"
The forums are slow for me as well. More so than usual over the last week or so.

When was the last time the mail spool was checked? What about the apache logs? What's the drive space available?
Is Adlon watching this stuff? If not who because I don't anymore. It has to be checked - if you let it run out of memory it will NOT be fun for anyone.

The performance has been pretty bad.
Is Adlon a person or a service? Whomever/whatever they are, they need to log in and check for leaks. Ideally, they'd have some sort of system monitor in place that can pro-actively notify them when thresholds are approached.
........this is the first time I've been able to log in or view a thread since early afternoon, and it's been taking 5-15 minutes to load any page all day today and yesterday, in addition to being slower than usual the rest of the week. I don't have any problem with other websites or internet use, so it's definitely EN World. What's up?
Same here. For the last week, it takes at least 30 seconds, sometimes 5 or more minutes to open a thread or to reply to a post. As with the others, no other internet site causes this problem.

I'm still experiencing slowness and have been for the last few days. Its a little better now, but not much.

I got this error message trying to use the Search function: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /www/enworld.org/production/htdocs/forum/search.php on line 1007
Well, if it couldn't find some free 35 bytes in memory, I suppose there is a memory problem.

Eh, that's propably an unrelated problem alltogether. There's a thread here at meta about that same issue, and it was first noted long before the slowdown.
It's been terribly slow for the past few weeks for me as well. Increasingly more so lately.
Did new servers ever get purchased or did I miss the announcement?
