A forum that I help out at (using Snitz, obviously) runs very slow. We run on Access and have over 500 members. According to the hosts stat page, this month we have had over 10,000 hits. I have archived the forum once and at a guess I think we have over 16,000 posts (the page wont load). I dont think the forum should be running slow even though it is on Access. What do you think?
When you did the archive did you do an update forum post count ...
I used to find that my db had some issues and we have over 50000 hits a month and about 5000 posts a week and including archiving have around 300,000 posts ... this all on an access db ... basically if i archive and didn't do a update forum post count then the db may take up to 30 seconds or so to process a request when normally it was under a second ...
Oh and I should add to this that if you don't log into the board, that is you still have the username and password required up the top right hand side of the screen then it loads normally ... its only upon authentication that the slowness occurrs ...
So if you just click on the link without a cookie or valid account then it appears quick ... however, if you have an account then it takes forever ..
Hope this helps you ... |
