It's happening to me too. We are on a shared server with other websites, so I have no idea why the site slows down at times. It could be something to do with those sites.

Gosh darn other sites, dont they know i am trying to get my LFAD ON! haha, thanks glad its just not me. I was like what is going on?!?! I know i will ask the techy section, idk if this was the right spot, but obviously my question got answered! haha

The "forum info" section is usually a good spot to put stuff like this. But I saw it anyway :P

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. I've tried working with our host. They blame it on vbulletin. I tried contacting vbulletin. They blame it on the host. So the problem continues to be unresolved since we can't figure it out. I'm definitely not a stereotypical webmaster genius.

I'm betting it is the host though. It's my hope that one day we'll be able to be on a dedicated server. It's quite pricey, and is a process to move the whole site from one server to another. We'd have to pay someone to do it to ensure we don't lose anything. I've already told Frank that it's my goal to be able to do it sometime next year. And maybe then the mystery of database errors will be solved once for all.

hmmm. You should call the host and tell them that you pay for a reason, for this stuff not to happen and they need to fix it. I hope it gets resolved though...

I dont mind i was just confused. Im sure everyone here understands, like me im sure theyre just glad to have a place like ths

I've had the forum slow down on me occasionally, but not much. I usually just think it's my internet connection. *shrug*

i do too, but last night it was just about every 5 minutes for me it would reconect me to the database error thing.

I have a mac and it works perfectly fine.
Yet again I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Mac OSX 10.7.2 loaded on so that might have something to do with my success.

I think like michelle said, its the host. Its working much better tonight.

It depends on the time of day to. Because there are certain days actually, most anytime I try and go on between 730p-8p it has a database error. But i wait and then try again and it would usually by 8. But its cool.

I've only gotten one database error so far, but I have noticed that the LFAD forums have been running EXCEPTIONALLY slow for the past couple weeks. It's only LFAD-- whenever I click on a thread to open it up, I go to another tab to do something else while I wait for it to load, and nothing else I do takes as long. It sounds like it is the host to me, but this happens at all hours of the day for me, so I don't know why...

I've also had an issue every now and then with my comments not posting-- I will click "post quick reply" and it will say, "are you sure you want to leave this page?" even though I'm not leaving it. Maybe it's a combination of vbulletin and the host. Who knows.

It's actually become so bad for me I've had to pretty much stop posting.

[elina]

Agreeing with Sierra and kittyo9. It is so slow, it's really starting to annoy me. And the "Are you sure you want to leave the page" and database error has happened to me too.. and double posts, even though I make sure I only press that damn button once and no more

Hope it'll get fixed soon, whatever the problem is!

[lyonsgirl]

Really glad it's not just me! Hopefully the issues get fixed soon... I'm having the same problems as everyone else who has posted today.
