UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Thread Like Summary - Look for advice. Forum doesn’t load properly.

Hi
I’m looking for advice,
I’m away with only a phone in my hand visiting granddaughter for the first time in +six months.
At least two days ago our forum started to become slow and not respond properly.
Timeout error, no connection messages, max amount of connections etc. Sometimes it work sometimes not.
I opened a support ticket at my 5 slices and two cores VPS host.
The replied that I had some old configurations so they updated and increase storage and memory which was good.
I used the ubbt_test.php and alerted possible problem with 120 max_execute_time so I reduced 60. When I got message of to many connections Host changed value from 151 to 512.

Still same problems.

Have anyone of you experienced these problems ?
I’m thankful for any advice.
Forum is located at

Ps have not changed anything prior to the problems.
The rest of the website works fine it’s as fast as it should be

Hold on.
I think there is something amiss with the portal.
At least in V7.7.5
Reported by my members for the search feature stopped working.
Turned off portal and works again.
Also some portal settings affect the forum not the portal now.

Unfortunately my test site is down now because I am replacing drives and re-seeding my desktop.
