web site crashes and suggested headers

I also recommend not looking at false dawns and thinking the odd moments of speed mean its all ok again.

For the techno people out there it is our SQL shared box that has had a case of the go-slows in the last few weeks (I think it is seriously overloaded) and is causing huge virtual memory usage as the requests stack up. This causes its own problems on the page serving box. Currently we're getting round it be rebooting far too often.

We're getting a new server - unfortunately this isn't something I can't do by clicking my fingers. Instead I have to do it by dragging rocks up hills. It'll be sorted, it just takes time...

I don't know if it's a false dawn or a real sunrise on a better future, but the forum is really smooth and fast these days... Have you waved your magic wand at the server, Mark? Whatever you've done,   grand job, thank you !

That's the price to pay when you're too popular! Good to see that the forum attracts more and more readers.

Thank you for the update, Mark

I'm the only one on the forum right now! If I stay up so late, it's only to prevent traffic jams at rush hour, so Carshalton can entertain us with tales of his Laser4000 acrobatics, just before the resounding "Come downstairs, Luke! Dinner's served!"
