[]Our hosting company tells me MySQL has been sluggish on a lot of forums lately.[/] Did they say why? Since it is not YOUR server and is the hosting companies, not much we can say will help you... Especially since THEY acknowledged a problem. Have they tweaked their MYSQL any? because since it is their server thats something only they can do? I would suggest to them that they move you to another server if they have one, to see if that helps you any.[/]
