    We are saving serious issues with the database running on the server. I can reboot the server but it still comes back running very slowly, and then eventually crashes again.

    Has someone hacked into the forum server and buggered it up?

    Mark, I have attempted to use the search function on the menu bar and it seems to stop the DB - may want to disable it until things get better.

    I think anything beyond simple queries is crashing the database just now.

    Have we been hacked? I don't know, there's nothing obvious to say that we have, but I wouldn't rule it out.

    Is there any way we can limit our usage to help out?

    Lightbulb thinking out loud ...

    I use several image links from photobucket for the games & such.
    I wouldn't think image links would cause a problem but I feel I should ask to make sure.
    Could image links create any kind of a problem with the database ?

    Right now it looks like we may have identified (and resolved) the cause of the recent problems -- things seem to be running much better now. But we're watching the situation in case our optimism is unwarranted ...

    Will it help if we all stand on one leg, holding the aerial at arm's length, as used to happen in the bad old days of televisions?
