Following the problems of last Monday night (when the Reading/Leeds announcement was made) with accessing the forums - they were incredibly busy - I've been looking at how things might be improved before Glasto ticket day.

Some changes have already been made that should see a small improvement of around 5%, and a number of other issues have been identified that should improve things a fair bit more.

Rather than just go ahead and make the changes and then discover that too late that it's made things worse, they'll be some testing done under heavy load before they're put in place. The first tests are likely to happen over the weekend sometime (most probably in the small hours) so if you come onto the forums and find them very very slow, this is likely to be the reason why.

Once the first set of changes have been made and tested, they'll be further changes and tests made during next week that should improve things even further.

It's hoped that these things will make a significant difference to the numbers able to use eFestivals at any given moment.
