Hi Grazer -
We had a HUUUGE number of people jump on the site + forum today which brought it to a bit of a grinding slowdown. It's been sorted now though. Any problems like this, please contact us and let us know!

I think the DCUK servers need a few more rubber bands fitted that should do it :wink:

It got so bad earlier, nothing was moving before it crashed, so I wrote to the parent company, Sitefinders Net Ltd. Maybe they will be able to clear the dross out and add capacity.

Is anyone else still having problems with the site?
I came on recently and nearly everything I click on just loads for ages then I get an error message. The screen keeps jumping and nearly crashing.

Its sort of the same at my end too ... cursor is not stable and page takes ages to change when moving from section to section.
Although it has just this minute, improved. Something is unstable in the server!

With enough server capacity AND regular maintenance, a popular site will not slow down. Good housekeeping is essential!

I wonder if they might have had a "Denial of Service" attack yesterday (where a malicious person tries to overload the server with random requests). That would cause the kind of issues we had yesterday...
The site was very slow again at 2.30ish today. Seems better now, but was giving SQL errors and stating too many connections and not managing to get to the Boards. Thought I'd post in case Admin is around and needs to know!

Will come back later when, hopefully, it will have improved
