Site slowness when db action needed

[dc dalton]

I dont know if its me or not but the site has come to horrible crawl this last week BUT it only happens when posting. Reading threads, browsing all seems fine but when I go to post I can literally sit for a minute or two before it is added and the thread is reshown.

Ive even run some tracerts to see if it was a problem with my ISP or a network bottleneck but Im not seeing any overly long hops..

I was just wondering if something was going on or I have to look further into my ISP

Nah, same thing happens for me, too.

It slows down when connecting to the forums as well... for me anyways.

Its just weird that I can surf the threads with no problem and then the minute I try to submit a new post its PAINFUL slow.... quite a turn off I might add. Ive said "screw it" and closed the browser many many times this week! NOT GOOD!

I have found that if you press 'stop' then retry submitting it, it usually works the second time.

We'll be moving to a new server (well, two servers) soonish.
