Very Very Very Slow

[parentingdiscussions]

Dear TP

I sort of have a problem with my forum, everything seems to be working really great however, the problem I am having is that when you go to read members postings, it takes a very long time for the page to come up and load, way too long. I have been to other sites, and it works great, but in my own forum it just takes too long for anyone to read someone’s post or replies.

I have done everything possible on this end, optimized the tables and so on, and it still doesn’t seem to work that fast, and my members are starting to complain. 

Any suggestions?

Its not your fault.  I suspect that the SQL server that is being called on to populate threads is dog-doo-doo

Change your host maybe?  Try: www.Outpost-Host.us





shameless plug   But serisouly, it is prolly the host.

It can also be be things like custom blocks that have some code in them that can slow down the site. Could be throwing php into and endless loop or something. Could be the server too. I would contact your host and have them look into it.

hadnt thought of that, but then again... I wasnt thinking >_<

[IchBin]

Of course, I would try disabling the blocks first to see if they are causing this.

You might, but stigmartyr would be switching to a host in some outpost way out there.....

Well, I really don't know about my host how it would have anything to do with why it would run slow, like I said, everything else works very well, just when you want to read someones post, that is when it slows way down, I have a good host, and never had any problem before, but I will call and let them know about the problem.

Thanks

Ichbin is right if ur scriptz are bloated or missing lines to close them they will tail spin and lag ur board. 

If its only when opening messages, I suspect that the SQL server is responding slowly.  Hence ur host could be the problem.

I suspect that the SQL server is responding slowly.

And what causes this 99% of the time? Insufficient RAM, a finite resource.
