    The Back Room loads considerably slower than other pages of TSR.

    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.

    edit: and again until 0446:

    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.

    Nope no problems and I've noticed the pages loading much faster.

    The members list loading time has decreased from around 14-15 seconds last week to around 4-5 today. Looks good!

    what are you going to do about it?
    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.

    speaking for the majority that can't because they are either scared of their job title or rep bars
    Come again? What do you mean here?

    I think he means that mods won't complain because you'll de-mod them and that normal members won't speak in case you 'steal' their rep.


    Oh mighty RK, please don't touch my rep :afraid:
