Ah, I see, heh, wasn't really sure about that, all good for me there.
Although the speed went back to it's old speeds at the moment, hope it's only because it's the weekend or because of the 300 guests I saw while I was re-updating bookmarks.
...speed is the same but managing attachments don't hang as bad as it used to.......well, in my case that is...
Response is abit faster but not so noticeable to be classified as an improvment. Chompy you are you just using your new computer as the server head or did you actually upgrade the provder server line? I mean if you paid for an upgrade, you'd expect to see atleast a 40% improvement if not more.
Nope. It's significantly faster. Faster line, faster server (sempron vs. dual xeon). The real killer is, more traffic. About twice as much actually. Almost all of them downloading attachments. And on average people are hanging around more than twice as long (IP/pageviews)
But it _is_ faster, and it's not crashed once (except when I manually closed the internet service to tweak a server function)
Add to that the data center is having network issues (today) and I can't even log into the server. *sigh*

Isn't there a way to at least reduce unnessesary traffic, f.i. smaller thumbnails, max. number of pics/reply or making the forum "members only" (537 guests vs. 157 members online now !)
Loading a page with 10 replies and 95 thumbnails at the time I type this takes over 8 minutes (with a fast internet connection) which doesn't make browsing the picture threads a very pleasant event.

Actually about an hour ago I disabled downloading attachments for non-members as a temporary measure. I am not comfortable with the idea of shutting the forum off completely though.
The server can comfortably deal with 500-550 people online, but any more and it severely impacts performance.
This traffic spike will go away by itself, someone somewhere probably hotlinked a file on the forum on a trafficked site.
And as the lady says: "I can decide what I give, but it's not up to me what I'm given"

Well that's just the worst it's been.
It must just depend on how many people are here at once. Sometimes, there's loads of room to move around.
Next time I come to the door and see the house is full, I'll just wait outside for a while, or go away and try later when some of the party crashers have fucked off.
