Painfully slow forum, virtual server, database issue?

[GONUMBER6]

Lynne that makes perfect sense because that image is on the other forum that is slow.

I wish I knew what else you were talking about on the other stuff. I do have access, but my knowledge is limited. I will check out firebug, but I don't know if I can even begin to relate to it but it is worth a shot.

I did submit a ticket on vb.com last night.

Yeah, I got the firebug but it does not do me any good, since I don't know how to use it.

Okay it is saying that it is taking 40seconds of waiting time to load a page, while the receiving part is only in milliseconds. Do you know what the "waiting" is for firebug Lynne?

Hired a professional to fix, this was the issue:

This problem was due to your resolves on the server being down, I have switched them to google dns and remote lookups are no longer taking a long time. The page has went from taking 11 seconds to load to loading in around 1 second.
