As I understand it, what John did wasn't an upgrade. He switched providers, which involved switching servers, and while he was at it he tweaked a few settings. No really substantial changes to the forum.
I have no idea why the forum seems slow to some people and not others. For instance, it seems normal to me. Sometimes it responds instantly and sometimes it takes a few seconds. That's about par for the course these last ten years or so.

Hey,
You guys are right
Someone was exploiting a a flaw on a diagnostic page and pretty much killing the server ...
Why do people even do this ?
I guess this has been going for a week
I have disabled the offending functionality and I believe it is fixed.
Please let me know how it is now.
For the record, the forum is on a better server, more up-to-date OS and software, and has been tweaked ... So it should be better.
The automated backups do slow the site down a bit, but that is once every few days for about a minute.
Someone please PM me if serious issues are encountered again.
Cheers

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Same here (W. Europe, Benelux).
All other sites around world (checked quite a few, from U.S. to Asia to Europe) are working fine, but the forum is on the point of collapsing as it is just NOT responding....dragging like a 3 legged dog.
Our luck, it's probably hackers hitting whomever murga uses to host this site & thus replacing every uploaded script, pics, etc, etc, etc with their own stuff that looks the same but...gulp......is not
But, hey, on the sunny side, maybe it is just a murga specific issue. We need to know who the hosting service is, to see if other complaints are appearing about them hosting other sites.
Anyone know who hosts this site?
