So to try and track down what was performing so badly I have gone through the site and split it up a bit to help troubleshoot the issue. What does this mean to you? With any luck nothing - but if you have things like the forums bookmarked you should notice the URL is not the same and you might want to update it. (and you are likely to have to log in again to generate a new cookie)
I have put in some redirect stuff automatically so you should not actually see any problems and without reading the address you might not even notice, but the forums are now at http://forum.360friendspot.com, reviews are now at http://reviews.360friendspot.com, and game lists are now at http://gamelist.360friendspot.com. This will help me find out things like which area of the site might be performing badly so that it can be fixed and if the traffic gets high like that again, it will not cause an issue.
finally the forum might be more of a default template look - I was playing around with a lot of stuff trying to get the registration problem fixed (which I think is working now right?) but by doing so I some how lost the forum template that looks just like the main site - I guess it could be worse. I will give it a look again when I can, but as far as I can tell it functions this way - just no easy way to get back to the home blog - but lets be honest most of you forum folks like to stick to the forum anyway ![]()
This new way does complicate a bit of how I originally designed the site, so things like editing your game list is currently offline (sorry)
Any weirdness either leave a comment or just get a hold of me if you see me online.
