Forum Very Slow

[danmc82]

Certain times like now for example, it takes me 5 minutes to get on. It just times out. Happens alot during the morning, it'll kick me out.

Other sites are available instantly so its not my connection.

I'm using Firefox on a desktop PC.

Now I cant upload any images, keeps coming up with Error-Upload failed.

Sorry for late response on this, I sometimes notice this also. A while ago there was an issue with the site and I upgraded the servers and it seemed to fix the problem, however I am paying an extremely large amount of money each month for servers and although the forum is very intensive on resources I believe that a lot of the times when the site is down is not from website visits from genuine members but from bots that are slowing the site down.

Currently in the process of trying to set up some rules that should block most of the malicious bots, also will upgrade servers even more if needed.

Having trouble uploading pictures again - "There was a problem uploading your file"

Forum speed has been better the last week or so.
