Forum Modifications

**impactadmin** · 09-14-2007, 12:41 PM

Over the last couple days we have been enabling and disabling new features and old hacks.

If you find any issues or broken links or features, please let us know and we will attend to it asap.

New servers are being configured and should hopefully go live next week.

In the meantime we are working on increasing the speed of the forum.

If you notice speed differences please let us know.

Thank you

Right now i am experimenting with things to speed it up.

messages since last login will probably be back in a few days.

Some little things slow it down bcause they have to query th db constantly.

We are just toning down and fine tuning everything to be ready for the server changes next week.

Replying to an existing thread is fine for me.

However, starting a new sales thread is a REAL PAIN. I've been trying many times to start a new thread during the past 36 hours, but to no avail at all.

What's happening? Is anyone else experiencing such a problem?

Whats up with all the messages & loading when you send a pm, click todays post, etc...they are really annoying and take a long time...can we just have it the old way (it seemed much faster and less "obvious") they are a bit long winded don't ya think?

Ditto. Look at new post...a redirect message, come back, a redirect message...post a response, redirect message.

Sometimes when I click on a thead link, it takes forever to get a response, then my browser just stops looking....Has anyone had this same problem?

**Adam Dicker** · 09-14-2007, 08:07 PM

Overall the speed should be better, I have 3 people all working to optimize hardware and database tables.

server upgrade will probably be Monday or Tuesday then this thing will rock.

I was just reading recently about a faster database technology that may be of interest. It runs in memory instead of from disk:

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/PCW...ory?id=4038510

Solid makes an embedded database with in-memory database engine, which means it can store and retrieve data from main memory, giving faster performance than traditional disk-based systems.
