Hi all.
We're running UBB 6.2.2 with a lot of customization that has kept us from upgrading. We're on a good dedicated server with 2 Gigs of RAM. We have over 40,000 users, but only about 1000 have used the message boards (our users for our main site are automatically registered on the boards). There are usually 10-25 people online.
Many times, our boards are very slow. The processess back up and things grind to a halt. We get a lot of overhead in our w3t_users table, and it helps when we Optimize, but they slow down again quickly.
About a week ago, I rebooted the whole server and the boards were great for almost 3 days. They were fast and happy. Then, they started slowing down again. I'd rather not reboot the whole server every few days, so if anyone has ideas on what we can do to narrow it down and solve the problem, please let me know. Our hosting company tells me MySQL has been sluggish on a lot of forums lately.
Thanks,
Carl
