      Multiple 10 - 90 second delays navigating on 9/8, AM MDT.

      When clicking on Reply in this topic at 1200, waited 90 seconds - still no Reply box.

        Ok. Thanks all for the additional feedback. Guess I'll need to start the process of setting up a dedicated server. Closing topic again since I'm aware issues still exist and I'm working on it.

        I know this topic is locked (again....) but I have been experiencing so much slowness today.

        Also got this a couple of times:
        Connection Problems
        Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

        I don't know if this post will help at all, but I felt like I should mention it.

        I realize its locked as well, but I wanted to add;
        It may be a good idea to ask your hosting provider about different dedicated server packages... since you probably dont need a mega server like a lot of dedicated users use, you just need something that's not overloaded.
        I would think they would offer different levels of computing power for dedicated servers.

        Also, as a temporary solution to just reduce load times, you might consider doing maintenance on attachments, since attachments are part of a permissions group which has to be queried first, and even disabling attachments.

        "Network Timeout"
        My last two posts before this had connection issues as well.

        Edit: When I posted this post, I also had issues with network timeouts.

        Unlocking topic again.

        Web host got their SQL expert to look at the database and apparently SMF is indexing a lot of empty databases and he indicated that this spot of SMF was the biggest bottleneck and could be causing a lot of slowdowns. So, please post any slowdowns you encounter again after this post has been made and try to get as specific as possible on what you were doing, what time you were doing it, length of delay, etc.

        Thanks again. I and my webhost haven't given up on this yet.
