    Nope. It's a trial. I wish i could say it was because we were fixing it. It's not - that's on the list - but not yet. We were just wondering how many people - so we've turned it on for 10 minutes to have a look

    It's already nearly 700! Which is an all time record - and it would've been higher earlier

    Yes - you'll see it got very slow just then - its the same problem - when we turn that on it slows down radically

    We should be able to cope with those numebrs, but we need tweeks.

    It's not the list that slows it unfortunately - it is the process of counting. It's something called file locking - techies will understand. Don't ask me

    We're upgrading to a new version of yabb (all background stuff, no changes you should notice) that should fix it we hope. So maybe a month or so

    Two things went on today - we had a few little behind the scenes issues and the site has broken all traffic records.

    The most visitors we've ever had to the site in a day was 31.000. Though i won't know until tomorrow - i suspect it will be nearer 40,000 today - hence the creeks and over 3000 chat forum posts

    To put this in perspecitve - when we were last having issues, that was at the 15 - 20,000 per day mark! And around 1000 chat forum posts
