Every now and then I have problems with BGC suddenly going unresponsive. Refresh just buys me a white screen. Going to any other site still works, but I have to wait a few minutes before BGC will load again.

The really annoying part is that when BGC finally responds again, all the threads are marked "Read" so I can't tell what's new.

More server slowness and unresponsiveness tonight. Not seeing anything on the status page.

I suspect that our hosting service has made some changes yet again to our server. For the last day and a half it's been fine, and the performance is back up to what I consider acceptable.

I strongly suspect that there was a change made to our server last month that utterly clobbered our performance. Since I don't have console access, I could only take a SWAG at what it might've been. The hosting guys were blaming our database access and long running queries for the performance issues, which was completely bogus in my eyes. We don't run transaction processing on this server and the overwhelming majority of what we do on the board are reads, not writes. Writes take up much more overhead than reads as you can guess, but not all that much for what we're doing. If we have a write once a minute that's a lot for this board.

I suspect that they've either rolled back whatever change they made or fixed said change. Hopefully that's the end of our recent performance issues. Heaven knows I complain enough to them...

I have had the following problem:

Upon logging in, instead of taking me to the Board Index page, I am automatically getting the following old thread -
"VOXDADDY ALIAS JAMES HELY ALIAS J.KELLY IS A THIEF!!!!!!!!!"

Why is this happening?
