Threads load slow

[jkh]

Hey i've been on bladeforums for awhile now and never really had any problems loading up threads and going on to next pages etc... but, for some reason now it takes like a good maybe 3-4 minutes to load a page...

tried clearing my cookies. Using Safari and also tried using Firefox to see if it was a browser problem and its the same issue.

any ideas?

thanks!

It's not that. I tried adding a section to an already lengthy post and I received a databse error. Copy and pasting some text and replying to PMs with multiple quotes is also dropping databse errors. I've had this happen on various computers, phones, tablets for the last month across every subforum that I normally post in.

Too much traffic. We're going to have to buy load balancing soon. At this point I may have to shut the forums to non-paid members soon.

That would be a good idea Spark. It would certainly speed things up.

Things seem to be much faster without the banner ads
