As the title, the forum is running very slowly and stalling. I note sam Skelton has noticed the same.

Hi Will
I took this up with Ciaran a few days ago when I had trouble loading images.
He is hoping to do a server rebuild as soon as he finds time.

Me too. I'm sure it will be sorted out - thanks in anticipation.
I did find it exceptionally slow just to get the up-front Login page, and switched my toolbar login icon simply to
"
www.club-xm.co.uk/forum/ucp.php?mode=login"
which is working a good bit quicker.

Good, thought it was me Internet. Noticed the forum has been very intermittent recently.

We don't seem to have this periodic slowdown on FCF, but we run a Linux stack under phpBB rather than Microsoft.

Hi guys,
Sorry for the intermittent slowness for the past few weeks, took a while to track down as the webserver itself was running quite nicely, it turns out the root cause was a faulty router, which was intermittently dropping packets and other weird behaviour. It would be fine for a time, performance would dip, by the time I looked at it, it would be running like lightening again, rinse and repeat.
What gave it away in the end was the alarming brown heat marks on the outside casing!

Bit like our old friend F2 . . .
Thanks, Ciaran, for all the hard work in seeing this through.
