    I've no problems with speed but I've been seeing things that are not supposed to be there or be the case. Like for instance, the odd PM in the box and when I look at my userprofile to search for threads that I posted on, it shows that I'm not logged in when I'm very much logged in and things like that.

    Hi folks

    We are aware of the problems and are looking into it.

    From one I've been told - there's a table of data that keeps jamming up - as we're beyond a critical mass of users on it. We're looking at rewriting that table but its not a quick process to get it right, but we're working on it. This isn't a server issue its a limitation of the software issue, which is tougher to deal with.

    It always seems to hit during the evening at around 7/8pm and speed improves again after 10pm

    That's been my experience too. I've assumed there's a lot of traffic during that period. MSE version of the M25 !

    I'm getting some odd errors now...........

    Had that a couple of times.

    I'm clearly still registered as logged in at the time, so there must be something 'glitching' somewhere.

    Another result of this mysql table problem?

    I have found the same thing too.

    Also found that when I have returned after a few hours it says the last time I visited was 1/2 minutes ago which makes it difficult to read new posts since you last vsited.

    Now, when trying to update my subscription for this thread to "instant", I get this error.
