Well, it looks like moving to a new server has not entirely fixed the problem. I am looking at our vbulletin database right now. Please bear with me for a while. It might take a couple of days to figure out.

Sorry guys!

I think it is actually worse than before you switched racks.

The site speed for me hasn't really changed since the vbulletin board first opened.

It's been fast on both my DSL and even with a 50666 bps dialup connection at work.

Thanks for providing a great place Larry.

The load times are sporadic. Usually it it faster than before (for me anyway), but there are times when it is extremely slow.

Well, it looks like I have found the problem. We have exceeded our available ram. It looks like it's time to move from a virtual private server to our own full blown dedicated server without sharing recourses. Looks like there is a lot more traffic then I thought.

The hosting company says we are always over our allotted amount of ram and we are running all the time on swap memory. Until I figure out the cost and can get it moved over I will reboot the server each night before I go to bed. This will help clear the ram and get us off the swapped memory at least for a little while each day.

O.k., Friday night the server was upgraded again. There is double the ram e.t.c.

Anybody notice the forum being slow in the last few days?
