Nikonites pages have always been slow for me, despite now having BT Infinity FTTC 36mb, thought it was just a UK thing / XP / etc. That link that jdeg posted opened up pretty quick though, and there seems to be a real improvement in page loading now

There was a little issue with the server last night - it was being a pain in the butt.

Glad to hear that things are running faster now for everyone.

Appears that there may be an issue again - certainly running slower again today.
Usual remedy solutions tried with no avail.

It's been very slow for me, too, over the past few days. Also, it does not seem to like it when I use Safari as my Web browser. It much prefers Firefox. The slowness is irrespective of operating system. It is just as slow on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.5 or Ubuntu Linux 12.04.

Which wire did you trip over and unplug this time?
Site has been down for almost an hour (from where I am), and now it's back online and working fast too :)

the servers were having some issues earlier in the day. Everything should be back to normal now though.

OK...very fascinating thing just happened. I tried to get on the board and I kept getting a time out. Tried repeatedely to get back on and it just wouldn't do it. So I googled "eye-level nikonites" which provided me with a direct link to one of my threads and wouldn't you know I am back on the board through a side door. :) I think the server is getting overloaded. To much traffic...to many big file snaps...would recommend to restrict file size on picture uploads for now so you don't corrupt the whole shooting match.

ANY THREAD WITH FULL SIZE IMAGE THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN B 4 SEEMS TO BE THE SLOW DOWNLOAD.

Makes sense - that image is massive!

you probably got a cached page that didn't require php or mysql to do anything. The server was having some issues again last night.

That is now fixed.

So after reviewing settings a bit, I realized that the system wasn't re-sizing images properly. It is now fixed

FYI, there are currently 22k images taking up 11.5gb of data on the forums and 16.5k images in the gallery taking up 4.1gb of data! But hell, that's nothing compared to the 500TB of data Facebook takes in a DAY! omg
