Apologies in advance if this post duplicates anything previous it's just I'm running a 6.2.1 Forum and I notice that the two previous queries relate to 6.4 so I'm not sure whether the same is applicable?

Basically my Forum has slowed up big time since Friday and my Host says there's nothing awol his end?

My Forum

How do I tell what's a Forum/Script/MySQL issue and what's Host-related (Not just this time but in the future as well)?

Can someone please re-post the list of tips to ensure a fast forum?

Also all this "add a &debug=1 to the end of any of the url's in your address bar and it will give you a full output of all the queries and where the slowdown is coming from, from the mysql portion or from the server itself.

Went way over my head. If someone could explain to me what the results mean I'd be grateful please?

Similarly (if relevant?) running sql command. What's that all about and how do I do it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Thanks in desperation
