Answer» As I'm sure you've seen there is a notice at the top of the forum now. I've done this because I'm finally making some progress on the server and will be testing the SQL database on the NEW server with the forum code remaining on this server. I HOPE this will allow me to integrate the new database quicker by not having to setup everything else (website, scripts, forum scripts, etc.). Before moving the forums over allowing the slow down issues to get resolved sooner. Unfortunately doing it this way requires me to take down the forums occasionally to change what SQL server the forums point to and test it in maintenance mode. Forums SQL database now running on a new server. While everything else remains on original server, please report any issues while we test things out. Good luck. Some down time is worth it if it makes everything better in the end.Thought that there was going to be news about it some where. HOPEFULLY things will be a lot faster an less isues ahead.Good luck Nathan.
