I haven't had a tech issue with the website for the last two weeks or so. In the beginning of the lock-down my internet was slow enough to fail at times.

Today all seems well. Last week or so has been lousy performance.
For work I need to VPN in and that seems to interfere. But even when I disconnect from the VPN, performance is bad. It may be an Internet issue, I mean, the Internet is overloaded nowadays with people sheltering in place, and some providers just can't handle the traffic. Not so sure it's a forum issue.

I have been getting exceedingly long waiting times and numerous disconnects. I'm sure it's my server as the increase in traffic must be gigantic and the faster service is reserved for those willing to pay for a higher connection fee.Originally Posted by Standing Wolf

I finally got a higher connection speed when I cut the cable and no rely on streaming- which I watch TV, which is rare these days. Even with the higher speed I notice issues. Hulu and Netflixs are streaming SD rather than HD- which really doesn't bother me.

Observation: I get a lot of errors when accessing What's New (http://thepoliticalforums.com/search...clude=13,29,60). But at the same time can access the main forum (http://thepoliticalforums.com/forum.php). So it's likely related to search.

Another observation: Search returned Web error then results on a tablet. It restored results on my smartphone. On my laptop, connected to a VPN, always a database error.

The way that I clear that error is to clean out the browser history. It seems to work.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll continue to monitor.
