Have there been any reports of high server load for 1.1.8? After running smoothly for over six months, my host now reports the gforum script eating 100% of cpu resources. I upgraded on Friday and it's a Win2000 install.

What's the best way to roll back to 1.1.7? I still have that install package, but am afraid of screwing the db all to heck by running it.
Suggestions?

I strongly doubt that the small changes from 1.1.7 to 1.1.8 are the culprit. However, that said, it should be possible to "upgrade" your forum to 1.1.7 using the 1.1.7 installer.

It appears to be behaving now. At least the load hasn't snowballed. I don't know who to throw stuff at, but I guess it's not you guys

Can you go beyond 'strongly doubt' to know for sure? My hosting service has shut down my forum, saying in part:
"Your script times out by going into some sort of loop, which confirms that the problem is with the reliability of this particular script and not the reliability of our servers.
In your account notes, it states that you placed an upgrade to an existing script. If this is the case, then we would have to wonder if there is something in this new version that is not quite right and is the cause of the problem. There are also no records of issues with your site until just a day or so previously. Since this upgrade was performed during this timeframe, it is suspect to the problems at hand and quite possibly, you need to review your script. The rest of your site is not affected at all."
Are any other Win2K / SQL 2000 installations running 1.1.8? This would not be the first time I've stumbled across an error unique to this platform configuration.
I'm headed to the gym to beat the crap out of the punching bag.

Some days were meant for anger management. After the previous message that I posted an extract from, I returned to find this in my box:
"We have found an issue that we feel will correct the CGI scripting issue with your script on the server. We have re-enabled your site. We feel that the corrections made will now stabilize your script."
Grrrrr....

Yeah you and me both. I suspect they won't want to actually admit what they had messed up.
I hate looking for a new host, it's such a pain in the #@%!.

Alex and the crew obviously know their own software and they know how to tune a server to run it. Consider them and feel free to contact me if you want to talk off-line.
