Timeouts on POTN

Pete · 24th of April 2007 (Tue)

I've noticed on a fairly regular occasion that POTN seems to "hang" for a while before responding (sometimes it takes a few refreshes or stabs at a "post" button to get some action out of it, and sometimes not even that helps).

Has anyone else suffered the same? Is there anything we can do about it (like give Pekka more money)?

Oh, I'm using http://photography-on-the.net/forum

I too have had problems when using it during my evening, normally it seems to happen about 8-10ish. is there backup or something happening on the server?

Yes there was a backup-related timeout a moment ago.

Many thanks, Pekka...

Any chance of letting us know roughly how frequent the backups are taken?

Don't take this posts as a complaint in the least by the way (the down times are short enough not to be a problem).
