A certain other aviation forum had a serious attack of the slows immediately after they upgraded their forum software. Pages wouldn't load. Only the advertising would load. Sometimes the entire page would timeout, the server simply taking too long to respond. Part of their problem was an unrecognized DOS attack, part was one of the advertising host's site experiencing a DOS, and unknown was the final part was.

I've been experiencing the slows on this site since February, although it has improved slightly over the last few weeks.

Good luck!

I have too, and sometimes in the database error, other times I get the header and advertiser and nothing else. I have also noted that I get a Done (in the lower left corner-IE) at this point thats it.

My suggestion is to get a new web hosting company. Might want to check out www.iPowerWeb.com They are cheap and I have never had any speed issues. I went your host's page and it loaded as quick as the forum.. slow.

You know, I thought it was just my neighbor's wireless F-ing up. Now that everyone mentions it, I have been getting database errors out the arse.

It has been incredibly slow and fails to the "Database Error" screen alot for some time now. Many people I know from JC say the same thing. Being at Career Pilot School right now, most everyone here says the same.

Personally, having alot of experience with SQL server databases, I'd bet it is a result of the size of the database. SQL is an inherent resource hog. I'll try to put it into a basic understanding:
A user searches for XY. SQL server will search ALL lines of data for the best answer. Even if it finds AN answer, it will still continue to search ALL lines of data. So, if the DB grows, the resources needed for a simple search does as well.

At my old job, we kept a history of driver logs going back to the beginning of the use of the electronic driver log system. Though the SQL DB was maintained well, it still continued to grow. We experienced periodic failures that increased over time. Eventually, the system was almost unusable and our divisional users were now not using the system. We archived all but 6 months of data and purged the live SQL DB. The system was running like a Ferrari from that point.

I'm normally the last guy to notice it... but it definitely has slowed down. I'd say it's been running unusually slow for at least a month. And I'm getting the database errors fairly frequently, too.

Alrighty, I changed some my.cnf settings, if the dbase error pops up again, lemme know.

Turns out that it the wait_timeout was set far too low then it'd freeze, start shedding connections and block access to the MySQL server.

I know it's all greek, but my geekier users may understand!

Alrighty, made some more adjustments today.

Anyone seeing any positive changes? I mean, of course, besides my boxers.
