    Dela: The definition of job, at least for me, is that it pays less than what you deserve and you have to do it whether you like it or not ;-) So, for us this is a job :)

    And somewhat relevant addition:

    I optimized couple of pages on forums and hopefully this speeds up things a bit and would hopefully minimize the number of timeouts we receive on daily basis.

    Thnx man :) Although I dont reckon there is much you could do really to strip these pages any further than they are?? there is not really a lot sending out on each page anyways :)

    Just basically some queries -- even if the gain is just 1ms per page, it amounts quite impressive performance gains when you have 1000+ guys browsing on forums at the same time :)

    Ye i bet, actually can u comment any further on my suggestion of a page of updates being an option instead of email?? like for instance i login and click "updated threads" and it shows me the threads i am subscribed to that have been updated, wouldnt that option save you guys a lot of bandwidth if you could choose it over email updates?

    Umh, no... Some kind of "page of updates" will probably come at some point, but the email is the best way to keep users coming back. There are really guys that actually can forget the existance of aD if you don't remind them every now and then :)

    Loading fast for me at the minute people. Thanks Ketola and dRD.

    I hope it stays like this. My opinion on the weekly newsletter, is that it is there to remind people about afterdawn :D

    Glad that the tweaks seem to have helped the issue a bit.

    And you're right about newsletter, but unfortunately we have appx. 50,000 registered users who DON'T subscribe to our newsletter, so we need to pull them back by reminding them every now and then :)

    Thanks. We'll keep on monitoring if the problems still occur. But basically we've done now as much as we can until we switch over to new server setup, which hopefully happens before the end of October.
