The "Tweaking" is over, tweaking message has disappeared. :T
If things are running slowwww, must be problem with your system or internet connection (just like my internet provider tells me when I have a problem).

Everyone should be running at full speed. :dance: :j

Ok I see what's happened.

Speeding up the site - where we are!

"Tonight we took the site down to reverse the recent changes. Having got a big new super-dooper database server, sadly when we shifted the forums over, it simply couldn't cope, it wasn't tweaks and the fault couldn't be found.

As it was so slow, tonight the techie team worked really hard to temporarily move us back to the old server; which while smaller is correctly optomised and performed better. This means we're still not without glitches, and there'll be database errors - but the site should at least stay online."

I don't know how much difference this would make but it may help.

I notice that there is an archive link as part of this forum software, if the site was archived every now and then that may take some of the pressure of the search facility and may help speed things up a bit.

The archive seems to be empty at the moment.
