Lately the forum response time (hardware and software) has been slowing down. As of today it is pretty darned slow. I am looking into the issue with our hosting provider, and am researching the issue on the forum software performance. The text forum software is provided by Vbulletin, and the photo forum software is PhotoPost. But this is an issue with Vbulletin from what I can tell.

We have a fraction of the users compared to some of the other forums in the world. So I am hoping to get this issue resolved fairly quickly.
 
Could it be...

It's a long way across Texas. Maybe that's the problem... 😀
 
Actually, the website is hosted in North Carolina :cool2:

I am still actively working this issue with our hosting company, and also the forum software company Vbulletin. The 2 main problems we have seen are:
a) Often it takes up to 10 seconds just to list out the threads in our main forum.
b) A PHP process on our domain has caused severe slowdowns on the hosting server. During these periods, PHP is consuming 80-100% of the CPU. The problem was traced by our host to our domain and PHP. We only have Vbulletin and Photopost installed as PHP clients.
