modus0, I, like you, have been online with less than 600 people on here and things have been slow. However, I have also been online with 1800 people on here and things were flying. We think we have narrowed the problem down to some crossed-up indexes on one table in the database. If this, as I suspect, is the case, it could explain the inconsistency, because all 600 people could have been using that one table simultaneously in the times it was slow, and only a handful of the 1800 using in the times it was running fast. We are actually having a meeting concerning this issue in 3 hours. We will likely take the forums down for a few hours Monday to fix the problem. Be watching for an announcement. Nicholas
