It would be a local issue I can assure you - there have been no issues with performance (apart from me compiling new code) for the last few months since the last series of issues.

Recent - nah that was over a month ago (and commented as "since the last series of issues") that is not recent in this game and no I am not forgetting. My basis for comment is on my observations based on the daily emails I would be receiving if there was a recurring issue.

Ah yes, that's one spin you can put on it. Depends on your definition of "last few months".
Anyway, the main thing is the problems were fixed eventually and the site is now running a lot more consistently than it has done for quite a while.

Once every few days my PC will seize up - it responds, but agonisingly slow - to any command.
When I go to Process Explorer it shows me the problem - one Tab in IE8 is using up 90% of CPU time - it's always the Tab running Exploroz. When I kill that process running that Tab in IE8 evrything returns to normal.
Even when the PC is running normally, the Tab running Exploroz is often using up around 50% of CPU time.
Instead of leaving Exploroz running when I go to another Tab or another application, I've learnt to shut down Exploroz as the only way of stopping the PC seizing up.
I'm really tiring of the only
Forum that I pay to be a member of, being the only one that causes problems on my PC.

Mike I run IE8 and have never had the problem you describe and I have EO open in a tab constantly.
I would suggest its a local problem, The site runs really
well.

I have the same problem as Mike, sometimes I have to use task Manager to close down exploroz page even though I have other pages (IE8) open on other sites.
and the system fan is buzzing it's head off.

Sorry forgot to add.
Didn't we address this CPU issue once before with Mike's machine and it was resolved by updating Flash player??

I run XP with IE8 and flash 10.0....... > the only time I can slow down exploroz from hogging the processor is to toggle off Flash player. fan stops running, processing drops to 20-0 % for the site.
I'm not saying the exploroz web site is causing the problem, just the the exploroz web site is the only site that causes a problem..

I visit lots of different websites and forums - NONE of them causes IE8 to hog more than 10% of the CPU.
Why is Exploroz the ONLY one that consistently hogs 50% of the CPU time ?

I've also noticed the Explooroz site beign a resource hog (also up to 50% of CPU) on a few occassions over the last week. I'm using Firefox however (with Flash 10.0.2.54).
Its not every visit (last time two days ago). It's definately the ExploreOz, but was not on everypage (eg not on the front page of the forums, but did happen when looking at some posts). I'm not expert, but it acts like a memory leak(?) in that the CPU usage starts off normal when first on the page but then slowly increases.

Get the latest flash player and the problem will go away - Flash has been and is a major problem - I do not do anything strange with it, we just use it and it is a RAM killer if you have the wrong version running. I can watch and browser sessions creep up and never stop if I have the wrong flash player running. So just update this and tell me how you go?

One thing to
test if it is flash is to disable it for a session and monitor the site - I would expect the cpu & ram will not climb. If this is the case go and get a flash update and the problem will go away.

For some reason it is much better today, when I
check flash it's already the latest.
If I toggle flash off I have no problems. I have three pages open at the moment with flash running and all is OK ticking over at 1,2,3 % fan slow as.

I just got one these rare Server Errors, this haapened when I sent a reply.
If I get the page resent, I usually get it with no errors.

I consider this a trivial problem -
- I can fix it in seconds by hitting F5
- it happens very rarely.

This is the result of me installing a site update - it kills all running processes on th ebox when I upload the update - I have been doing a lot of these latley as I have been fixing errors with keyword replacment - these are also the cause of the weird outputs that we had the other day. I have finished these updates for now so will mostly go back to single updates per day instead of the about 10 I have been doing this week.
