    Yes, of course. But that's to be expected, isn't it? Or, maybe not. Who knows? The Tech Team?? Who exactly are the Tech Team? Do they have names? Do they have faces? Do they exist?

    Re: Really slow server?

    Might be due to the backups being preformed!

    My connection timed out and that was it for a while...couldn't log on. Just as well, had a great visit with my Granddaughter who came to visit.

    Re: Really slow server?

    The server ate my post and spit out something... http://www.excelforum.com/attachment...2&d=1370808873

    Again, had said Arlette that there is anyone on call on Sundays (or maybe the weekends) so probably they work a 9 - 5 shift India time Monday to Friday. So no surprise that errors are happening more often on weekends.

    Re: Really slow server?

    It wasnt the backup. The backup finishes by sunday evening India time. However, we were facing some database issues which were making the server very slow. I myself faced that issue about 3-4 hrs before you all (based on your post time). I contacted the tech lead last night who was looking into it immediately. He said there is some issue and he will check into it.

    Re: Really slow server?

    Forum is tragically slow at the moment for me - taking up to 60 seconds for pages to open.

    Sorry to hear that, Fotis - it can be very frustrating when that happens.

    Arlu, everything seems ok again for me now.

    The forum has been slow today and there was a downtime since the tech team is working on fixing the issues.

    Re: Really slow server?

    That's my experience too . It's been suggested before and hopefully no one slaps my hand here but perhaps fixing old issues (such as this) before adding new features (such as the commercial services) that could potentially make things worse is the best course of action?
