vBulletin.org Slowdown?
 

Is it me or does vBulletin.org run extremely slowly lately?

I noticed the traffic died down? But its still running as fast as it was for me.

You are not alone, lag is terrible at present, it has to be said that other sites appear to be affected too,Google was having big problems and Twitter crashed earlier ..... all down to a certain [S]whinger[/S] "singer" dying apparently.

Seems to be running OK for me at the mo :up:

Running fine for me also.

No difference for me.

Seems fine to me.

Same here.

Both vB.org and vB.com are occasionally very slow for me now.

Both sites appear to have been in trouble since 4pm (uk time), a ddos attack ?

Currently, I have to wait for 1 minute before every page load and sometimes it says "server not found."

happened to me also, Very slow :(

lets hope all's well :up:

slow as hell here as well :(
Hope this will be resolved soon enough.

Back to normal now.

What was it Paul, do you know ??

Thanks for the Update :up:

No idea, usually if its a ddos attack, I get tons of database errors, but none today so dont really know.

Likely, I'm getting the same problems as you, paul.

it was little slow 4 hours ago now its bit fine I think.

It happened again today. I guess the servers are experiencing a heat attack. :)

the org and com have been slow for me the last few times I've tried to access them
in fact, I was going to check out the "server issues" post on the .com earlier and the connection timed out..lol
kind of ironic

last two hours I've been having a "The jelsoft site you are trying to access is currently unavaliable"

Today I was getting timed out here and .com

maybe the users, but server seems ok :P

Yeah, it was rather slow earlier. =\

We have noticed and reported lately:

1. youtube vids dont load, or stall half way thru
2. google mail crashes very frequently/fails to load
3. firefox slower than 'shudder' internet explorer

What has this to do with vbulletin.org ?

Its probably due to IB taking over vB.

And how does that relate to vB slowing down and Youtube, google or firefox?

Oh apologies, it has everything to do with general web browsing.

My point was, using Firefox/Internet explorer to access sites with high speed high bandwidth servers, such as those I presume vb.org/vb.com utilise.

This is also reflected by other large sites, such as google youtube etc, who also appear to be suffering extreme lag at present, when viewed using ff or ie, even chrome.

We have tested on several machines, and even pinged vb's site to test our connection ping.

It appears to be more widespread than just a general local issue.

Hope this helps, answer your Q

I've had a few Cannot Find Servers lately, but with a refresh it normally comes back up. :)

The issues we had the last week have been resolved, so closing thread.
