Well some of you guys might have noticed that the site has been, well how should we say, a little "flaky" lately. It's all for good reason, because we are having a huge amount of traffic to the site and the infrastructure at the moment is barely coping.
Interesting because it doesn't seem that long ago that I was writing about this very same problem. It is a good problem to have and we are not complaining, in fact quite the contrary it means that we can justify going out and doing a serious upgrade

So for the techies amongst us and anyone else interested, we have just yesterday ordered SEVEN new 3GHZ Dual XEON NN servers and are going to commission them on a new larger capacity bandwidth arrangement.
This will mean that we can improve the speed of the database which is often a limiting factor, and also cope with higher amounts of simultaneous visitors!
All good news for you guys - and within I'd hope a 2 week period you should see the performance of the site increase markedly.

All this upgrade work and other commitments to my "day" job have meant that I haven't started rolling out the new mods yet - but I am aiming to have them out by the end of this w/e
