Website Issues

[terryrayc]

Some of you might have noticed issues with the forums, getting slow or throwing a max_questions error from the mysql db.

Well it seems the hosting company made some changes. One of the changes was to a new config of the db which I think is what is causing the slowdown. the other change was to set a max_questions value to each db user. What this means is as a single db user I am limited to the number of querys I can execute each hour. As a php site that uses the DB for everything this has caused us to at times exceed the max number of queries and we end up being locked from the DB for the hour.

I've called the host and tried to get them to raise the limit but they do not seem concerned. So I'm going to be working on moving the forums to a new host. Until then you might run into some issues and for that I'll go ahead and tell you I am sorry up front.
