Database lagging.

Well everything seems to be ok, been here for a while looking around

Seems the whole server finally restarted.

Thanks good, it was getting pretty annoying yesterday

i thought maybe the board was being reconfigued

Well, since I came here around 19:00 GMT (nearly 30 minutes), it has been dog slow - 1-2 minutes for a page load.

I'm still getting the message quite often at the moment.

Hello,

The host shed some light in the darkness.

The background is that this database is large, not THE LARGEST, but certainly biggish. Computers have problems running big things. The system administrator was tweaking the SQL server for better performance, something appearantly didn't work out that well, resulting in a wacky database.

The database is moved to another server tonight and during or after that move many tables got damaged. The SQL tool managed to repair them.

The forum appears to be running again, I'll have another chat with the host. Please report problems, though I really hope there will be none for the next 12 months

Above all: enjoy the forums.
