The last few days it has been, at times, so clunky on the forums that it is unpleasant. I suspect I have a problem with my computer, despite apparantly fast broadband speed, but whatever problem I do have manifests itself to the greatest extent on here.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Is it me or is it the forum?

Yes, I've had a few days of intermittent slow downs as well.

It's getting like it was quite a while back, with constant and consistent hangs, and the 23:30 to 24:00 period is now a no go area.
Keith, when are you moving on?, and has a new editor/moderator been appointed yet, as someone needs to take a look at these issues, before they get out of hand again?

I'm leaving next Friday (the 31st), but Kim's (Kim Hollamby ex-ybw ed and now digital dev director) aware of the issue re: 11:30 to midnight problems. I'll speak to him today and talk to the sys admim about the general slow down as well.
No announcement yet as to who will replace me, but I think The publishing team will come to a decision next week.

Apologies, we've had to ensure some back-up activity earlier into the night than wanted for a few weeks but we'll get it shifted later now.
In terms of general time-outs this version of Threads has been tweaked past its sell-by date. We have one last move to make on it in September. For those of you technically minded the architecture of this thing was never very bright and some actions inevitably lock the database tables. We're going to test InnoDB on it to introduce row level locking, but as with any drastic cure there are some obvious side effects that we'll need to work through before inflicting it on you.
After that we'll be planning to migrate you to a new in-house managed system.
We'll find some less busy victims for the new system first so although a productiion version is due in October the change for ybw will be a bit later. We'll also need to sort the migration scripts so that you don't lose your posts and IDs. We're also developing a new search engine so that we can open back up all posts back to year dot.
Out of interest have the timeouts been more noticeable in the past week?
