Forum Slow 20/8/14

The forum is slow to load pages again, fourth morning in a row.

I just posted a reply on a thread and although it shows on the thread it is not showing as a new post on either the board or as a new post on a full forum search, this has happened for the last 4 days as well.
It sorts itself out by about 6am but the forum continues to be slow to load threads, post replies and move between boards.

XP, IE8

I'll second that. Am now giving up attempting to post because it's so slow.

Windows 7. Chrome.

Test test test.

EDIT: Seems OK right now.

It had cleared a bit by 05:55.

At one point before this I had quoted a post, typed my reply and hit the post reply but it just sat there for over 5 minutes, when I gave up and went back to the thread, my post was actually there.

Even since the forum speed picked up, it is still slower for me to load a quoted thread than a normal post

At this time of day it is useable, the big problems as I stated in this and the other thread is before about 5:50am when it is virtually unuseable.

Possible a scheduled maintenance task/cron script is running at that time of the morning? Sometimes those can cause database/forum lag if they hammer the server resources a bit.

But every morning for a week?

If it's a resource hungry script/job running in the background then these are often set to run at the same time every day.
