I've sent another request to Chris for an update.

Hi All,
I have worked with the vBulletin team, and have a plan. I will be taking the forum down in the next couple of days to upgrade our MySQL version and making a change to the DB. I will shoot for tomorrow or Wednesday evening depending on reading time.
Thanks
Chris

Thanks Chris. Much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
I have added another CPU to our server. This should result in better overall performance in the short term as I start the systematic upgrades to improve performance overall. Please don't hesitate to reach out directly to me if you have any questions.
Thanks
Chris

Chris, it is definitely faster at the moment. So whatever you did helped! Thanks!

Great job on the repairs Chris. It's running blazing fast this morning compared to the last couple of weeks.

Okay. That is good news. I am working on a longer term plan that I'll let you all know about soon. There may be some interim things that we try, but I might have some major changes coming.

I will be taking the board down at various times this weekend. I'll be visiting my parents, but there are some things that I need to run upgrades on - the forum has an upgrade, I need to update software on the server, etc. If you notice it down, that is why.
Thanks
Chris

Another forum I'm on upgraded to vBulletin 5.3.0 and we lost the ability to use Tapatalk. The admin said that Tapatalk did not yet support that version??
