Angie and I were discussing this yesterday. We believe the explosive growth of the site and posting has been taxing the database along with the spammers trying to get in. We're contemplating upgrading the server to more memory and CPU as well as 64-bit with an eventual upgrade to 5 while keeping the same feel/look. Additionally, we're also looking at creating an "archive" location to put some of the older threads as well as having a few threads archive due to their size but still allowing members to access the threads at any time (not necessarily posting to them)

Linus, on some threads, esp with a post with multiple images in them, that seems to sluggishly move til I am past said post. Sometimes a page will have two or three posts with multiple images in them, sandwiched between different posts/users....so it goes warp speed, then sluggish, then warp...etc.
I noticed it will do same thing on the Music posts thread. Just offering up some FYI

Good to know.

I'm always happy to learn I haven't earned a spot on a site's miserable users list (because I wondered).

Good luck with it.

Looks like the pmtext table crashed which is causing the usercp issue. Running a repair...

Quick question; I know a few months back a rule was established as to how many posts a user had to have before initiating threads. How many was that?

I checked in the TOS and did not see it there; also could not find a thread for it.

Linus · 03-03-2013, 05:04 PM

30. See this thread: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...ead.php?t=5692

Kelt · 03-03-2013, 05:18 PM

Thank you, sorry I missed it. Perhaps it could be placed somewhere that would be easier for someone new to the site to find?

Unfortunately, I don't have any brilliant idea as to where that might be though...

I'll see about putting into a welcoming PM that could be received by new members upon joining.

I am getting Database errors for the site every time I try to post a reply to a thread or move between threads. Also, the pages are taking for ever to load when they do load.
