With a trace Route time of 410ms no wonder it is slow. I'd say the connection to their server is the issue or its ability to respond in time to the database queries. I think we will see it go off line any time now while it's looked at, maybe a rough process that's sucked the guts out of the server.

Just an update...

Our server is shared with other users and because we are using a lot of the servers resources so our account has been throttled so the other users don't get affected.

Now we have already done Database checks, repairs, optimizations and a fair bit of other stuff. Plus we are currently chasing a 3rd party with the right qualifications to look into our side of the server and database etc to see what more we can do to fix this issue. If that comes back all clear then we can approach our host for more resources.

Also FYI our account uses 26gb of server space and 250+gb of bandwidth each month and rising...

So basically bare with us through these growing pains.

Thanks very much for sorting this guys (and gals). I realise it's not your full time job, and that any time spent fixing things here eats into your personal time. It's much appreciated by me, and by all the other members as well I'm sure.

Cheers!
Matto :)

I agree Matto...well done guys (and girls)

Just a suggestion.
If this is a server problem, and I think it is, what about swaggers donating $1-00 each for an upgrade ? That should cover the cost of an Australian based dedicated server for a couple of years,
This is such a great forum I'm willing to make a donation, what about you ?   :cup:

Just let me know where to send the money.  I would be happy to pay a couple of dollars, I reckon even $5-00 would be a fair donation to keep help with the maintenance of such a wonderful site.

Speewa,
Didn't all these issues start the same time you sold your business?
Hmmm, I'm starting to think it is more than just a coincidence.
Brett, have you looked into the logs to see when Speewa has been online and the connection error appears?  ;D
Maybe it's Speewa's spelling that is confusing the server  :angel:

Maybe we need a roster system so that there isn't too many users logged on at the same time.  From now on I'll only surf myswag while I'm awake :P

I agree but it's not all that. I know you know your stuff Lost. The SQl data base also has a connection limit that I would say has become unstable. I wrote SQL code many years ago for AMX and the call logging system and one thing you always need to do is look for processes or logins that don't terminate correctly, I think this is the issue. I've been out of coding for ten years now so gonna sit back and look at the Pajero forum while the young experts fix it up.

Connection was playing up again yesterday afternoon and last night.  And with the usually garbage on TV at night and the good wife at work I was lost.  Maybe it is a good time for the Government to force Myswag to use plain packaging!!!    ;D
