Was completely down for a good five or six minutes then, nothing would load at all. 1.31 had already gone live by then too so I don't think it was that.

Re: The site being slow?
Has anyone else had any more of the slow downs of database errors over the weekend?
We had a short period of down time late on Friday evening/early Saturday morning to make some tweaks to the database servers to address the issue. The decision to do this was made late on Friday so I didn't get a chance to forewarn you, but hopefully it has solved those particular issues we were experiencing. -
Re: The site being slow?We'll do what we always do when someone reports issues like this and look in to it to see if we can find a cause for it. If we can we'll see if there's some way to fix it so that the same issues doesn't cause problems again. If we can't yet see a cause, we'll wait to see if the same issue is reported again and see if that throws up any more evidence to suggest what is going on.(Original post by mangoh)
