Announcement Forum maintenance results

If you've noticed that the forum is speedier now, thank Webzcas! We moved several Gigs worth of images (your screenshots, folks) out of the database, so now posting and the site refreshes much quicker now.

Cheers Dave!



And this was done without shutting the forum down.

It's made a HUGE difference - for me at least!

Especially when posting and sending pm's. That wait for 10-20 seconds was veeery long

Hm...I didn't mean to say that because it took 15 seconds before this post landed

Good work Webzcas!

Is anyone else noticing that it is starting to get a bit sluggish upon hitting 'submit reply' when responding to Posts or PM's, or is it just me?

Will take a look at the back end and see what is up if anyone else is encountering posting treacle.

Yep, I've noticed the same. Better keep an eye on that server load. I run a large football forum and have found Sphinx to be the answer to all my load problems. In my case, it was the search function that was causing the load (when you have millions of posts, any search is a resource intensive task).

If you read a couple of posts up then that's what I said when this thread was posted, that everything wasn't fixed. It has been like this for a very very long time, and we have posted about the issue before.
If you can fix it I would be very grateful
