Help is on the way
We have been working hard to troubleshoot the slowness. Unfortunately we have come to the conclusion that we will be unable to make substantial progress until we move the forum on to our own servers.
We have moved up the migration schedule to Wednesday of next week. RCTech.com will be moved to a much larger dedicated server in our data center. Since it currently resides on a shared host we think the hardware improvement alone should be enough to speed up the site.
Once on our servers we will be able to take a closer look at the database connections and see what optimization can be implemented. We will also consider changing the current search feature to our own custom version. We have found implementing a less databases intensive search can have dramatic improvement in application performance.
I will continue to post here throughout the migration process to make sure everyone is aware of the latest status.
