You might be interested to know that I've regularly found the sitebuddy fora and logging on really slow to use. Generally it seems to be POST operations that the server has most difficulty with. Where a problem is encountered, a page will await delivery for thirty seconds or more, and will often time out at our corporate proxy. Is it overloaded?

Does this happens every time (could have been doing some upgrades on the server)?
How long does it take to login for u ?

The server is far from overloaded.

Here are the CPU (Dual-Xeon) and RAM graphs (note the CPU graphs scales if needed, but it did not even pass the 45% during the nightly backups and defrags...etc..):

Well, I tried a different internal proxy from my location, and it was perfectly quick. It's strange, as it only affects sitebuddy.com, but then it's not the most reliable connection in the world. I'd personally not worry about it.

As an aside, why does Drupal incorrectly order posts in this forum? I clicked on the 'reply' function in your message, and it seems to have placed my reply above yours.

Changed the Drupal "comments view" settings...

Update: Changed it back again since it the same setting for the comments under the main articles. And with 100+ comments on some articles it jsut easier to have the latest comment on top....

Could probably dig into the Drupal code to change that later...when I have more time...
