Sorry about the few hours downtime tonight. Our server techs and me had been optimizing the forum all night and I think the results are pretty promising.
Turned out that a large & busy Chinese web site was trying to hot link our pictures, which was causing massive loads and slowing the forum down during busy hours. We implemented a custom code to prevent this from happening - so we should be good in that department.
I've also made changes to the search, which was temporarily down tonight.
Should anything be broken, please PM me. It's 3:15am I think I've worked enough for today.
Have a good night everyone!
