The site has been very slow for me in the last day or so, has anyone else noticed? I have run a speedtest and my connection seems good, and other sites seem fine too.

 

yes, its dreadful at the moment, especially with longer threads.

AE thinks it might resolve itself.

 

Cool, it's not just me then.

 

Jings I haven't been struck by this at the moment.that's a welcome change.

 

The site has been slow because I have been doing a mock site software upgrade on the same hardware as the real site (different virtual machine). That has involved a lot of thrashing on the database, disks and network.

It will continue for another few days until I've gone through the upgrade enough to know that it will work correctly and take a reasonable amount of time.

Right now it is taking 45 days, start to finish. I'm working on getting that down a little.
