John suspected a problem and made some changes in the configuration tonight that may have helped. Probably won’t know for sure until tomorrow. But he said the database load suddenly shot way up when he made the change (it had been idling before). Praying for the best.

Sounds good. I had just turned off all sidebars a little bit ago, thinking that was part of the speedup. Sounds like it was merely coincidental, but maybe still a good idea for the next few days.

Last ten minutes the response time has been vastly improved. Go John.

For what it's worth, things have improved by a couple of factors in the past 10min.

Might just be because most everyone gave up and went to bed .. like me very shortly .. lol

Good luck with it, fellas .. having a zippy FR for Tue would be beyond outstanding !

[grame]

Way too many squeaky wheels. I hope none of these whiners ever have to communicate by snail mail. FR is worth waiting for. The fact that all these hissy fit throwers got themselves in a wad is proof. Best site anywhere. Hope I'm never in line for anything ahead of these people.

Geeez...that’s the best news I’ve seen you report about this issue in ages, Jim. Thank God for a positive report for a change!

Please let JohnRob know that the Freeper family appreciates all his efforts to debug this!

Thank you!

John's a miracle worker. I think the recent problem is fixed, just in time for the Super Bowl!
