The site was probably taken down for a while. When the database starts to time out, I shut down the site and leave it off for a hour or so, until all the search engine persistent connections drop put. While its off line I do a compact and repair on the database.

Until the new forum code is in place there is nothing I can do to avoid these down times.

In an attempt to give a few more days life to the failing database, I've blocked access to the forum for everyone except members. This may help.

I've also totally blocked France, there is a search engine there hammering the site.

Work on the new forum is progressing. End of the weekend it should be usable.

Seams I can edit a post, but not add a new one. Sick little database.Edited by Gizmo 2019-07-25
