I still can't get posts on the Ohio forum to load. It's taking several minutes to get a few posts at a time. Sorry.

This thread loads really fast. LOL

The picture server ("lion") is a little overloaded, but that should settle down shortly.

It's slow for me too today, for the first time ever. We all just need to let
Dave get the new servers settled down. It's a big job.

The load on all the servers is now very low (meaning, they are now overworked and are ready to act). Is DG still being slow for anyone at this moment?

Yes for me. I'm getting a time-out message.

It's being slow and weird for me. When I click on Skip to New inside a thread it wouldn't take me anywhere....

Also, when I post a message it seems like it takes a long time to get back to the home page..

There is a lot of database activity while I'm replicating to a new slave machine, but this shouldn't be a problem.

There are a lot of forums searches going on, though, and this is the big thing that's slowing everything down. I've disabled the forum search engine temporarily until the DB sync is finished. Should be another hour or two until the search is back up.

So, NOW the site should be fast. :)

I just got through reading DG's weekly newsletter. I read almost half of the articles before all of the pictures were loaded.

tracks posted while I was writing this, and it took me almost a minute to get back into the thread to see what had been said.

Pictures are awfully slow and going back to the previous page is unbearable.

Very strange. Well, I'm looking into it. It's loading decently fast for me. The server is pushing out about 10Mb/s of bandwidth right now, and incredible amount of data being served. It might be that we're completely flooding our pipe and the bandwidth is constricted. Still looking...

Now I'm having problems just getting forums to load. Couldn't get the Lily forum to load. You need one of those Cray super computers or an IBM Deep Blue. LOL :)

I'm having trouble today. Restarted Dave's and still a little slow to load pages. Uploading photos is very slow and when in a thread with photos, the photos are really taking a long time to load.

I found it took 24 hours for everything to balance out after plugging in new servers when using RAID

Maybe it's not DG's computers fault. Maybe something is going on with the internet in general?

I found most of the bugs gone immediately after using Raid.

I think this is a bandwidth issue, not a server issue. I think our ISP is capping our bandwidth at 10Mb/s and I'm on the phone getting that resolved right now.

30,000 people get the DG newsletter each Monday and they are all opening the newsletter at the same time and downloading thousands of pictures per minute. This is what is clogging the ISP right now. Once most of the newsletter openers are finished (after lunch, historically) things will calm down and we'll be back in the comfort zone.
