That gives an insight into what i pm'd you turblue.. This is where it goes "slow" or starts going slow...

[edit - online (http://www.dnsstuff.com/) tracert gives a VERY very different reading - indicating that it is something to do with us over here and them over there - possibly something with the international link or something... NFI what now, but someone's buggered up something!]

1:
The main problem I have is initial contact with http://opelaus.com/phpBB2-3/portal.php.

opelaus.com (splash page) loads quick as do most other pages.

2: iiNet

3: Cable (1500 - 12000Mb)

yeah m8 its slow, change hosts, it also may be a server issue, it could be boged down with requests and cant handle it, do you know if its a shared box or a dedicated ( unlikley ), another possibility is the network, or more specificly the route it takes to reach us. might be water esd dodgy telephone company exchanges, you name it. Its more then likely the rout it takes, but it working fast for one section then crawls for another, seems more to me like a codeing issue or server problems. Get the hosting company to do a thourgh check of it and all the apps on there particuly php and apache ( if your not useing a diff app), if they failt to rectify the problem, change hosts or host a cut down version ( for experimental purposes) on a different server all together, any one here with basic computer skills ( i mean a bit more then how to turn it on dummy ) will be able to set up a unix box and host it from home. althpugh there are plenty of free web hosts even mildly cheap web hosting companys out there.

err..
it's just slow; on dial-up....if that helps..lol

[NUTTTR]

Yup, my webspace (www.behavingbadly.net) is there if you need some space or something.... The fact that we didn't have big problems till the website update (although a lot complained before too) that indicates something to do with the coding.....
If you have a look in my gallery
www.behavingbadly.net/gallery
you will find it pretty fast, but my pings to my site are also 220+ms..... however i don't have ANY speed problems with it usually.....
