Is it jsut me or is GottaDeal slow today? Page loads are taking forever.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Page load times are 5+ seconds for some reason. The server load is not high, so there must be something else going on - possibly with the network.

I was just sending Marcster a PM and got this when I hit "send".

 

There seems to have been a problem with the GottaDeal.com Forums database.

For the record, I have 6,500 posts and 1 million Gottapoints. If the site goes down, I want them back. ;)

Back to the topic....

 

Try the main GD site or the BF site and see if you are getting the slow 5+ second page load times and it if seems crawling, or if it's just the forum.

just the forum (for me at least). The other links are like lightning!

Yeah, the board has picked up speed.

For some reason that menu we had at the bottom of every forum page listing the latest 20 deals on GD was causing the slowdown. I still have no idea why it was causing a problem today as we've had that menu there since we upgraded the forums and we had twice as much traffic last week without seeing a problem. We haven't touched it since then but for some reason today it started acting up but luckily I was able to figure it out :)

 

Still scheduled to move servers later tonight :)

Thanks, Brad! It's nice to feel like I'm on cable internet when I'm on cable internet. ;)

LOL. We planned it like that. This was "turn back the clock" day on the forum. Experience what it would have been like in 1998 :P
