I know there’s the release of V5, but I just took a look, and it’s only about 400 guests and 60 members browsing the forums right now, and it’s getting less and less responsive…
jepp,earlier to day it worked for 30sek and gone for 5min, on and off
it’s people downloading updates, after they get they install the final version of V5, and updates are on the same server as the forums :
We hope, in the future, updates and forum are hosted in different servers…
yes, 'cause this is a really mad situation…
Hi Logos,
Connection problems according to GoogleChrome, even lost my avatar there. With an IE shell like Browzar browser the avatar is still there, but this shows it is loading soooooo slooooow at the mo…

It was very slow for some time (not so now) and that is saying something when you are on dial-up where slow is a way of life ;D
I guess we were getting a hit from all the updates/installation file downloads.
Well, the forum server is not hosting nor providing the updates/downloads since you-know-which incident in December 09.
We will focus on optimizations of forum, blog, support and also web servers to be faster.
good news, thanks for the feedback 
Thanks.
Today, lags and loses of connection with the forum.
Planning to redesign Avast forum?
I think such modifications can cause the server to be down
Correct me if I am wrong.
yeah, it’s still worse than yesterday…
Strange today for me not so much difference from normal dial-up (slow) use of the forums.
sometimes I just got to leave an avast forum page loading, go browse something else and get back to it one or two minutes later…funny as it doesn’t time out.
forum is crawling again… that’s getting more and more annoying
Moreover, there often seem to be errors about database.

If there will be a forum software change, I’ll vote for I.P. Board.

don’t worry about that that’s a standard message you get when you cannot connect to a web based forum, either that or server busy etc…you see the same error when it happens on other forums with VBulletin etc…that doesn’t tell much about the actual nature of the issue. Only the admins know what’s going on…do not expect a software change not mentioning that this sort of problem can happen with any forum software. It’s more a matter of server management.
I dnt notice such sluggish movements on the forum…seems to me it works perfectly just fine…

I have noticed some times trouble getting here… not really a problem for me except that it always happens just as I hit ‘Post’…
It could be ALWIL working on optimising it…since that is what chocholo said
Yesterday was a pain in the rear, at times unworkable, go off get a cup of tea and try again at times. Today so far for me pretty much normal (for dial-up).
But this really needs investigation/action and perhaps to be on a dedicated fast server with its own SQL incorporated as currently the forums are very busy after the release of avast 5.0 it is almost manic. Whilst those trying to help would be able to cope with this, the forum speed is a right knee in the groin.
