PPRuNe Server so slow Today Fri 13 Jun'08
Anyone else finding the PPRuNe server is ultra slow today? It's seems to be taking a good minute to display a page.
Currently, there appears to be only 190 users on-line, so it can't be too many users on-line!
I've had no problems on other websites today; so, can only conclude that something is not quite right at the server.

In addition to the slowness, the need to log on has gradually increased to being required every time I want to check the latest. It does not matter which computer or connection I use and the settings are unchanged. This adds extra time. I often do not have the time to waste so go straight to another site, such as deleted or deleted
I wonder how much traffic PPRuNe is losing with this annoying log on requirement just to read, not post. Would the administrators kindly get rid of this annoyance.

It has been happening for a few days now. around 1pm uk time to late afternoon seems to be the worst and as Saab Says the IT bods at IB are looking into it.
Has anyone been having the 'Database Error' at all?

Lateral reasoning, maybe, but, in addition to the PPRuNe slowness I'm having serious problems with BBC News videos, which only run for five to six seconds before 'holding' for up to a minute then five to six seconds more.
So far I don't attribute this to the broadband connection (which seems fine on other URLs and also BBC text), however I've recently upgraded AVG from 7 to 8 (and this now seems to be integrated with my Firefox browser).
I haven't yet disabled AVG, but I offer this suspicion to others for comment . . .
InternetDestroyer is the same BTW, as is Opera.
No problems with Youtube.

The only AV product I've found that seems not to kill my PC is Kapersky. Norton killed my old laptop so badly it took 30 seconds to open up Internet Explorer! At times it seems you're better off getting a virus and dealing with it rather than running AV software!

Tuesday 17th.
For the past two hours have had the slowest response from the servers that I've experienced. After clicking, I'm waiting two to three minutes for the server to respond, after which the transfer is very fast. (I'm on dial up.)
Perhaps the system is clogged up with fish puns !!!

Asteroid hits Earth
Asteroid hits Earth 1 Billion PPRUNERS incenerated everyone else OK - Space ship assembled and launched while PPRUNERS were waiting to access and get their daily peep at PPRUNE - for heavens sake what is happening with your server administration these days ? - Its been in decline for months. Please mods can we have an honest answer. The value of PPRUNE depends as much on its topicality as it does on the (rare these days) access to informed opinion on technical matters - Disgruntled CATIII-NDB SLF - flying MOL air on Thursday so my week is already looking a sod.

Not sure if it helps but where it displays “waiting for pprune.org” in the bottom left corner, I had “read www.hongkongfm.net” then database error. This has happened twice at approx 16:15
