Why are the WBF servers so slow? PLEASE READ FOR FINAL UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENT

[steve williams]

Hopefully we have found the reason for these recurrent messages and the problem is solved. Ewe have again been having growing pains with inordinately large traffic on the site. When we switched to our new server I purchased an additional great amount of RAM to satisfy our peak times

I submitted a ticket this morning and just got this reply....would members kindly keep an eye now for any recurrences

Hello,

The server RAM was full and it had switched over to swap memory which likely caused the issue. I have cleared the RAM.

Please try now and let us know if you still face the issue.

Sounds great! Thank you!
I will definitely keep an eye out, if it happens again.

Yes. It happens to me since you move to the new server from day one.

Sorry for the delayed response… chaos at work!! After about 2,5 hours I could reload the page, and now tonight it works just fine…

Seems like random hickups..

[steve williams]

we did check as I had a similar problem last evening and we discovered that there were problems at our web host

 

[steve williams]

Keep these reports coming as Julian and I are trying to get this issue resolved once and for all

 

[admin1959]

I am keeping an eye on the server itself. I need to ascertain the outage is only our site, or is the the entire host and their service site.

The last outage was BOTH, which makes me think it is them, not us.

I appreciate the help guys.
