RootsChat Performance: how can we help ?

[Gadget]

Hi

Have other's noticed that Rootschat performance is getting sluggish again. At lunch time today it just slowed to a stop and it's now very slow again

is there anything we can do at all to help

I've found it very slow today, I can go off & do something else while I'm waiting, & I'm on broadband! It must be a real pain for those on dial-up.

I gave up trying to get onto the site twice today because I just got a page cannot be loaded page.

I've just waited a minute trying to look a PM, I know cause I timed it.

I'll do anything I can to help!

I've just spent ages trying to modify a message, Kerry, and it wasn't my typing 

I'm off for now for a while 

Sorry folks - no look ups, no restoration.......

Maybe it will pick up then

I'm sure you're not solely responsible for the problems Gadget.      But I'll let you know if it gets faster when you go.

I had to give up this morning because the site was so slow, and that was between 6.30 & &  7AM   The number of people on the board were less than half of what they are now

I'm watching  I came in as a guest 

However, it's still a bit slow. It's either those frames on photo restoration or it's to do with what we used to call paging. It's not the number of users but what they are doing. RC has been going now for 3-4 years. How many threads? How many are accessed at one time?  The server is thrashing away trying to load a wider and wider range of threads by the minute.

A difficult problem 

Well that's what I think
