Server load problem again?

[Snowflake]

For a couple days I've been having problems with using my threads function from time to time. I did not know if it was my end or the Poly's end. But I just saw that the good Doc had posted his nice double post in about 10 minutes apart so I suppose it is indeed the server that is experiencing some problems again?

Apparently so. I just got a database error page after a very long wait. But it reloaded upon request. We haven't had these problems in a long, long time. I guess perfection would be too much to ask or expect.

For the last week or two, although generally Poly itself is fast, I have noticed a significant slowdown when searching for a particular poster. I have not tested the circumstances where this slowdown does/does not happen, but I know that searching for a particular keyword does not seem to be slow. However, when searching for MrWhereItsAt in the poster name in the Civ3-PBEM forum (in order to find all the PBEM threads I am in), the search can take as much as two minutesm and then the intermediate stage screen informing you that 'the search is in progress' shows for at least another minute. Using the 'forward' button on that screen does nothing.

The problems have occured on 2 or 3 occasions, but have been very short-lived. There is a kind of server burp (technical talk ) then all goes back to normal.

"my threads" can be very slow too. I normaly use it often but stopped lately
