Title: Forum problems?
Post by: poppo on July 07, 2011, 01:08:12 PM
Anyone else having any problems with the forum? Today it seems to be running very slow and I have gotten a 'Can't connect to sever - too busy' message a few times. I'm not talking about 404 page not found type errors, this error appears to be coming from the forum software.

It also depends on what DNS server you are using. I am currently using Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for the quickest response.

This was not a problem with reaching the forum (i.e. DNS), it appeared to be a problem with the forum software talking to the database.

Also, by default Windows caches DNS for 24 hours, so DNS servers have little actual impact after the first visit.
