Guest and members, it was disabled for guests as of last night  :happy2:

I am running some more checks on the indexes now so expect things to slow down for the next hour or so.

The speed is fine for me but I seem to have lost the search function.

^^^^
Good idea to disable the Search function for guests anyway. The ability to Search is invaluable and it's only fair that registered members' use of it shouldn't be compromised.

I only experience the forum slowness (loading) randomly and never as long as 11 minutes as reported.

Great job you're doing, Steve.. Great forum  :drinking:

It disabled for everyone while I update the indexes. It's 45% through and it's been running 2 1/2 hours, as soon as it's done I will re-enable the search function.

Ahh . . OK thanks  :smiley:

Yeah the search function is wonderful, it stops me from posting up lots of numptie questons when the answers are already at the touch of a button  :happy2:

+1 on Steve's point. Some of these things aren't really essential and do cause an unneeded load when online.

what about limiting the amount of times users can search in a particular time frame?

say 15 seconds or so?
Including the "new posts" button. I do hammer that a lot!

....I think that people will find that extremely frustrating, Jay. I'm sure I would.

Sometimes I need to do more than one Search in quick succession in order to post some helpful info to someone or to a thread... I don't want that process to take time or delay me.

I take it people haven't seen as many slow downs in the past 24-36 hours?
