namepros slow?

[smashfactory]

i thought it was me but i fly on other forums- it seems every day that goes by namepros is slower and slower- takes forever to post, change pages ;-(

are we just too busy??

I've been having the same issue even just for logging in sometimes and I end up clicking the X button to exit the page because its taking forever and when I go back right after exit out I'm already logged on. But most of the time I've been getting the Server Error Page when i tried to go from one thread to the other.

Bottleneck perhaps?

the growth is phenomenal we're just too busy.

I know. In peak hours (mid-day) the speed is not great.

The good news, I've already got a second sever in place that will become a dedicated MySQL server. This should greatly help things out. There will be a few hours downtime when I do the changeover so I'll schedule it for sometime this week and let you guys know.

oh that rocks! i have been averaging a wait time of 24 seconds after i hit submit reply before it goes thru ;-(

A bit slow, I guess there's just way too much users on at the same time than the server can handle.

Last week was terrible, I kept getting error pages and timeouts. But I have to say, this week is somehow much better. Overall however, I agree with smash - it is somewhat (I am being nice here ) slower than other forums.
I feel guilty complaining though, since it has given me so much knowledge and understanding of this business

Its mainly as weblord said, due to growth. This time last year there were half the members there are now!

Having to upgrade a server is a good thing....it means there is more demand :D

I have also seen a large decrease in speed. I used to load namepros in just a few seconds, now it's about 10-20 seconds. Especially after submitting a post, it takes about 30 seconds just to take me back to the thread.

rj said he has a new server comin-

this is good news, namepros is slow because it is so BUSY! gotta love it!

Yea, I would rather wait a minute per page load with loads of people here then half a second and it just being me haha
