Added By: Zarabeythe Site won't be down for over 2 hours. ;) But homework is an excellent way to spend your time! The staff of Misticpets heartily urges all it's members to make sure homework is done. *winks* This maintenence is actually for the power systems. So that in a storm or a surge type situation nothing will happen to our servers. I think it's great that steps are being taken to protect the site. ~Zara Added By: VampBella I agree that it is great to take steps to protect the site and very wonderful of you and the staff to inform us of these small interruptions so that we don't panic. Added By: Seerow Will this help with the recent lag in forums? I've been having a terrible times in forums. Its not my connection that I can tell, since every other site I load is fast as always, and its only ever found on the forums here. Whenever I try to load the 2nd, 3rd, or *insert page number here* of a thread, it can sometimes take up to 2 minutes to load that page. The first page of a thread seems to open fine, its just if I try to open any other pages that the site stalls. Added By: Zarabeythe We atttempted to address that issue with the limits on signatures and the dragon eggs. Once many of those get cleared away to conform to new standards, we hope to see much of that lag dissapear. Though I will be asking the coders to take a look to make sure there isn't anything else in there causing it. ~Zara Added By: Seerow I thought it may have just been the dragons as well, but is very nearly every single non-first page of a thread. The rp thread I frequent, on the 6th page, had a total of 4 posts. The intro, one by me, and two others. Yet it takes ages to load the page. If it helps at all, here's the link: http://www.misticpets.com/forums.php?a=viewtopic&tid=3550&startat=6 Thank you for looking into it though Zarabeythe :D Hopefully it is just an affect of the dragons/signatures and can be fixed easily. Or maybe my comp just hates loading those pages of threads, though the lag is really recent.
