very very slow tonight

for example it's taken me this long to get to point where i am able to post a reply to my first post.

Server is either experiencing very high CPU or Disk activity or is dropping a high proportion of it's network packets due to fault or DoS.

edit: now seems much more responsive!

Guys, can only apologise, however MikeB has been investigating the problems, as soon as we know the problems you will be the first to know!

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone else was still having issues?
I seem to repeatedly be getting timeout errors, ever since this morning.
Error 7 (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
Cheers,

Yup, me too and the problem has got progressively worse as the day's gone on.

Seems to be worse in the evening for me.

Post by **PhilW** » Wed May 01, 2013 10:35 pm

Thanks for the replies, confirms I'm not having issues locally.

1st time I've managed to get back in since my post earlier.
I wondered if there was a generic contact mail for the Administration chaps to check for issues for those occasions when you can't get into the site to post a query?
Thanks,
Phil

best wishes for a solution soon.

A lot quicker for me this morning

Just a little update for you all

MikeB and Adam D are working on the issues which appears to be quite simply that we have just outgrown our server (yet again!), and we need an increase in server specs once more. We are nearly at 9000 members on FC alone, so it is starting to take it's toll.

Please bare with us whilst we endeavour to sort this out. We may have some downtime if we need to switch servers, but we will try and give a heads up where possible.

If you cannot log in, then I would highly recommend that you follow our Twitter and Facebook 'Aeroresource' accounts for the latest news on server status.

Hi Dunk

Thanks for the update, I have experienced the same issues as all the fellow FC's that have posted on this thread, it just goes to prove how popular this and its sister sites have become. To the guys that are dealing with this issue thank you, once sorted may this and its fellow sites go from strength to strength.
