Same here...but back to normal now.

This morning about 7-7:30 wouldn't load a page, and wouldn't refresh after I posted, but now looking, it had actually accepted my post

Says 7.58 am for your post it that's the right one?

Yes that's the one. Got my times a little out.

Not used to being up that early

for some reason (might just be me) - I have had to log in every visit for the last 2 days

Think that the Mods are trying to ban the Welsh...

Have you thought to ask William on Diynot as both forums are acting the same way.

Slow on and off. from 01:00

Thats interesting.

If I click on something "forum down" for example, it doesn't load unless I move the mouse away.

I'll try it on the submit button.

edit.

submitted ok but didn't fully load, and the green thing stop going round, but started again when I moved the mouse.

edit 2.

Definitely connected to the mouse movement.

One for wine~o to try if it does it in the morning.

I have been onto support and they have asked me to perform a traceroute when the forum is going slow. This will be difficult for me as I am often at work when it happens so if anyone that experiences problems regularly could please perform a traceroute and pm me the results when the site is going slow I would appreciate it.

You can download a free program for doing the traceroute- http://www.analogx.com/contents/downloa ... eeware.htm


If you download the program and run it at the bottom there is a text entry box, if you enter http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk then hit the trace button it will perform a traceroute. When it has finished click the copy button, then paste it into a private message to me. I'll then forward it to support for them to look at

Support have ansewred and have done the following-

I have reconfigured the connection limit and settings of apache now to allow for more traffic and better handling and flushed the firewall. I also set a cron to restart apache every 6 hours to keep it refreshed and avoid any build up to cause it to lag.

Hopefully this will eradicate the slow loading page problem

Don't know but it just went slow, including the contents page

I've just downloaded that link Chez.

Will use it if it goes slow again here.

I just done a trace whilst everything is working good as a comparison, if that means anything

Just went slow for about a minute..

Your 11 is the same as my 15.

109.200.27.10 machine name 10-27-200-109. rackcentre.redstation.net.uk

Perhaps it's to do with this. apart from that being 8 hours not 6hrs.

I also set a cron to restart apache every 6 hours to keep it refreshed
