Yea, was a bit slow but looks like they have cleared things up

[Captain Ewok 1,893]

It is the search function.

[Scott & Lai 12]

Often extremely slow again...

Same in Arizona - but maybe getting better now.

Really crazy today...one min it's fine, next it's fuct.

And I have tested my speed and checked other sites, and that was fine.

It's been like that for me for a few days.

I have figured out what the problem is although eliminating it is more difficult (it is the search feature). We also have daily server backups at EST 10am to 12PM. During that time searches place an even greater burden on the server. Sometimes what happens is when the server is busy a seach query can "block the road" so to speak and cause delays. I am working to resolve this so hang in there .

Ewok,

I'd imagine that 10am-12pm EST is probably VJs busiest time. If not, then one of the busiest. Is it really wise to run backups then?

Based on the fact that so many questions get asked over and over and over again, I highly doubt the search function even gets used.
