To be honest I have not optimized the tables in two months.
I could try again. Will do now
As far as when, it seems to be always.
Yes the db is somewhat large and a lot of visitors but few posts. 728.4MB
PHP is 7.2.24
The odd part is everything runs quick including searches just posting topics or replies are slow.
Editing a post is quick though.
Should I attempt to run through all the rebuilders for thrills?
I ran optimize in mysql if it helped it was a few seconds.only
