Has anyone else noticed that nzmusic.com's server seems to be running extremely slowly the last few days?
Every other site I visit is downloading instantly, but nzmusic.com takes an eternity, like I'm on the slowest dial-up known to man.
I also noticed a few problems with dating on some of the posts. Some have been dated 4 May, when they were posted several days ago. If they were from today then it would say 'today' next to it, surely?
Any of the mods aware of these issues?

All too horribly aware, I'm afraid.
The hope was that the shift to the new server would alleviate the problems the site was experiencing, and, for a short time it did, but it's now becoming more and more apparent that the site has outgrown the code it was built on, and a lot of the pages on the site are overburdening the server (the full 'today was a day where...' page, for example, is now 1MB+ per page load), resulting in an across-the-board slow-down.
Rather than spend time trying to re-code the existing forums, we're going flat-out to implement a new forum, which should be a *lot* faster than the current system. Give it a week, or so, touch wood.
(Oh, and the date issue is to do with the new home of the nzm server, which is in some other timezone - so there was a bit of fiddling with date/time stamps when we shifted, resulting in some weird behaviour. Again, hopefully, this will be resolved when the new forums go live).

As Admin said, very very very aware of the problem and working as fast as we can to replace the sick old dame with a new hot cheap floosy. This version served us well, but it's well past due to put her to rest.

I believe there is some amorphous entity behind this site that craves our attention and is scarred by each departure and arrival. Murphy's Law + The Shining = NZM Beast.
