Hello, I posted a topic on Friday but didnt get any reply. The version of my forum is 7 (not the new one) and I run it against Access 2000 and while I've never had any problems with it, it's soooooooooooooooo slow each time you want to post a new topic that there must be something wrong with it. It takes like 2-3 minutes to post one reply, for real. I tried to compact the database, I tried to reboot the server but no luck. The rest of my site is running fine and fast, I own the server and it's got plenty of memory and bandwith. I'm just clueless on what I should do to fix the speed of the posting. The database is not even big, only 900 kb. The thing is I never get any error, it just takes forever. Any idea? Thanks for your assistance, Morgan ------------- Morgan |
So I did some search over the weekend but still, cannot figure it out. I really hope you guys can help me!!! Replies:

Are you using a remote SMTP server? If so it could be that people have requested email notification and that the reason why it is slow when you post is that the application is whating for the SMTP server to responed before it completes the process of posting the post. One way to test this could be to turn off email notification from the admin section and then post a post and see if it is faster. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

boRg, You are absolutely correct, I disabled the email notification in the Admin panel and it works really good now. Now I'm not sure what I can do regarding the email. I own the email server (Cobalt Unix) and have checked all the settings, it seems to be working just fine. Maybe I should use the CDONTS component on the Win2K box instead of ASPemail? Do you have any suggestions? Morgan

It would probally be faster using CDONTS as the SMTP server it uses
would be the local one, so no waiting for network transport etc.

If you want a faster email, use a component that just dumps email into a queue for sending. CDOSYS does this with a small change - this is what I use for a local SMTP (I think AspEmail has a email-to-queue option as well) Dim sch, cdoConfig |

Use CDOSYS instead, then try persists |
