I've been here a long time and the current server problem is unprecedented. It's never happened before on this scale and with this persistence.Thank goodness I found this thread. I was beginning to worry that this might be the norm around here.

There's a bug/problem somewhere in the server software/hardware. Both facets are being painstakingly examined.
LOL
Well I've found some small issues and corrected them.
However, 'something' is causing the system software to stop everything every now and then. Unsure, but I think it is hardware related as I cannot find any evidence something is wrong.
We have several top server guys looking at it right now. Sorry no answers, but more hurry and wait.
Again, please accept my appolgies. I know this is getting old, but we are indeed working on this.
It's a slight inconvenience and a chance for everyone to learn a little patience. This too will pass.
I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this pattern, but this is what I've seen. Any searches cause a slowdown, especially if you search for posts or thanked posts. Responding to a few posts within a short period of time also causes a slowdown.
A workaround that I have found is that if your browser "hangs", try to open another "tab" with the DP homepage. This sometimes clears things.

On another forum that I was a part of, they made the search option only available to paid members. It may be an option worth considering.
I could not agree more.Just wanted to vent...This server busy thing is really annoying. It makes the site very difficult to use.
There may be truth to that, but so far not much evidence of it.I am starting to wonder if it is a traffic problem and people hitting as hard as they can just to cause problems. I have saw that happen on other boards.
I have a place I need to be. This evening we will continue to troubleshoot, however it looks like specific searches are causing the underlying issue.
