|  MIGWeb Server Updates
As you may have spotted, MIGWeb runs a little slow during busy periods. I am working on fixing this problem with every spare moment I have.
As a temporary measure to keep the site online and enable it to useable, I have turned a few unimportant features off. These are features that use up considerable server resources.
Once the problems with the server are rectified the missing features will be returned.

| Mike I've just loaded some random threads and they all came up almost instantly. Whereas yesterday some things were taking 20+ seconds to load. | |

| The real test will be at about 8 til 9pm tonight. Still, there is more work to do on the server.
Laf found something that is potentially causing a problem. We should be looking into this - if this is indeed the case, it will make a massive difference when sorted. Also, still need to upgrade a few bits of software. Oh, and I got some new sql setting from vBulletin last night! Need to update those tonight.  | |

| Just realised, hitting F5 will reload all images. icons etc. I tried it and it took 6 seconds here. Obviously that will take longer. Simply browsing to the page is pretty much instant for me though.
As I said though, checking it out this evening will be the test. Don't get your hopes up to much - I'm not saying 100% that it is going to be fine. | |

| I have made changes to the url structure for pages on MIGWeb. This is to again improve efficiency. Please note that any bookmarked pages or link in email before this time may no longer work. | |
