How many times a day does the server do its little update thingy? I know the usual one that happens for about 10mins same time every day, but does it do it anymore times? I've been having massive slowdown about an hour after this update thing, where I can go to forums, but I cant open any threads or post for 5mins.

Eg. Right now I cant even get the GD to load properly, and when it does I cant get into any threads.

Mines been fine.

As is mine.

and mine...

god mist you're such a weirdo windnuts

always begging for attention mhm

You know these answers really dont help...

In the early hours of the day the database is backed up, which is when you may notice some slowdown.

But AFAIK, there should not be any other problems. Do you have times for when it slows? Are they consistent everyday?

I couldnt get online until now, the net locked up completely for me for a week.

Anyway, since I've been online today I havent noticed anything as severe again yet. But the backup thing happens for me at about 7:30pm, lasts about 10mins, then goes fine. Then about an hour after it, threads and posts just wont budge for about another 10mins. I havent really paid too much attention to it since this thread, but I've noticed it a few times, not sure if it happens by random after the backup or if its always like that.

And before I forget, after I finished sending a PM, it just stayed on the page that says 'You have sent a message to ____.', this was about an hour after the backup thingy too, about 8:30pm for me. I had to go to another forum so it would refresh.

I'll yell out next time it happens though.
