What happens every night at about 9:30 pm Pacific time that slows the forum down to a crawl?
Usually if I click "view my posts" or do any other kind of search, it comes up in less than a minute (usually within seconds). But I have noticed that at about 9:30 Pacific time, suddenly it can take forever, maybe a half hour, maybe more. I just give up and close the tab.
The other thing that happens is if I am in the middle of a post, and I click "Submit," it appears that nothing has happened (maybe a prgress bar shows, maybe not). Even if a progress bar appears, it never gets to the point where it displays the mesage about the post being successfully submitted. A few times I have clicked a second or third time, eventually give up and close the browser, and the next day there will be multiple duplicate posts in the thread.
Is there some kind of site maintenance scheduled at that time? If so, is there a way to do it at some other time? How long does it take? That is usually just about when other family members go to bed and I have an hour or so to myself to post, but when the site is that slow, I don't bother with it.
