    The site is performing like a three legged donkey with asthma and a tumour on its lungs ... I know we have a lovely orange box at the top but what have you installed the software on ... possibly Sir Clive Sinclairs micro-drives ... I could shove the keyboard down my trousers and do one finger typing that is faster than this site is performing.

    it is virtually unusable this afternoon....just taken 8 minutes for a page to load! Something is seriously wrong somewhere.
  • I'm sorry that we're experiencing this slowdown, it's something we're looking very closely at it and we hope to make some improvements soon.

    This is the first time we've experienced a full load on Tip day on the new servers so we're still coming to grips with the traffic levels.

    Please bear with us.

    Have you considered that VB has such a high work load because it is so heavily reliant on cookies that it might be the software that can't cope and not the servers?

    If you look at the biggest boards on the net, vbulletin is quite a bit in front of the rest

    vBulletin should be able to handle this size of a board with its eyes shut, singing Stars and Stripes forever while doing Suduko. Definitely an installation problem ... however I only came back on to have a nosey and see if someone had got it fixed .. definitely running a bit better now .. maybe that donkey has got itself an inhaler.
