ENworld unstable?

[Aus_Snow]

Well, it's much faster now (just today, perhaps?) I mean, sure, it's still waaaay slower than any other site I've been to in years. But hey, less slow = better.

It's been decently snappy for the past hour or so. Someone found out part of the problem?

 

[LightPhoenix]

The boards have been anything but snappy for me, as of roughly 11am EST. It's taking two to three minutes to load a single page.

Yeah, it's snappy only during particularly low-volume periods, like late at night. And even then it leaves something to be desired.

I'm used to ENWorld being slow - I always need to click a thread, wait a few minutes, and check back - but this is nuts.

Want more 'nuts', I can't post on CM, not on the News threads, I get a system warning, that I am short on 2 characters, add more, the add Image, and several functions don't work.

I have seen my share of problems (with both sites), but this...is far the WORSE.

Seems like the problem is resolved. As an admin of a few large sites, I'm curious what the root cause was. Any chance that's safe information to reveal?

Um, no. It's improved--in as much as I can get to the forums if I'm willing to wait 2 to 10 minutes for each thread to load--but it's hardly "resolved."

 

[EugeneZ]

Eh, I dunno... maybe the last week skewed my perspective, but EnWorld has always been one of the slowest sites I visit.

 

[avin]

still slow...

Still painful . . .
