We have to do some server maintenence, including adding in more storage space to the Linux VM today (which needs the VM to be shut down).
The forum will be going into Maintenence Mode at midday today. Initially, you will see a message saying we're done, then you will get timeouts.
The amount of planned work today is significant, so we are expecting it to take approximately 2hrs.
On behalf of the team, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused during this window.

not a problem, these things have to be done
good work on keeping the forum running :y
-
It will actually go off just before midday, then I can used the scheduled backup at 12:00 as my backup before we start work :y
-
Still lots of people logged on... ...we are going down in 5mins (11:57)
-
Well, OK, nearly 3hrs then ::)
The restore took longer than anticipated :-[
Still going to need another outage to do the drefrag that never happened.

Yes, it will settle I believe after you have viewed that particular post - think its related to its (only) half forgotten what you have and haven't viewed.

Seems quicker bringing up profiles now too (no excessive waiting about like last time)

Good - it should be slightly quicker all round, but viewing profiles of members with large postcounts is a massive improvement.

Might have to rebuild all indices again (I hope not :'()

searching for users posts though at the bottom of the profile page still takes an epic amount of time. general search seems somewhat faster though

Not much we can do about that until the software is radically rewritten to use a proper database - it has to trundle off through (currently) 40000 files, and thats something Linux can't do very well.

Is that why the "normal" search button is limited to 25 posts?

Your using a flat-file backend for Yabb?? Thought it did MySQL...
[edit]actually, jsut read up on Yabb... previously used SMF myself which had SQL support (also based on YaBB), thought YaBB had it too but I guess not...
also... if your running YaBB in a linux VM which you always hate... how come you aren't running it natively under IIS/Windoze (which it says it works under?)[/edit]

ActivePerl is rubbish.
Used to look after some web/sql servers for a major UK airline. Their booking system was written by a company that would only support the freeware Activeperl, and not the commercial version. Needless to say, that site was often on its back.
If you want to run Unix technologies, such as perl, php and so on, run it on Unix (or Linux if you can't run proper Unix).

True, I'll give you that (activeperl being shite) ;D
