Still trying to iron out speed issues with the new forum software.

I've re-installed the php accelerator which has helped a bit, and have been playing with database settings to not much avail.

I'm a bit pissed off that a widely available piece of software based upon the very fast phpBB performs so badly. Ok, I should have stress-tested it locally before going live but I cut corners.

I've lost all the uploaded avatars and attached files
Well, all I can say is I made a blunder there - sorry.

What else?
The RSS feed is still down, and some of the handy mods like the "suppress avatars and signature mod" are missing. Oh yeah, and all the extra smileys - I'm trying to dig up some really nice ones.

Word.
Can you get the last post in thread preview back on. That was quite bo

[dave]

on the old version when writing some text you used to be able to select a word, then hit the Bold (or italics or whatever) button and it would put the Bold tags around your selection. Now in this new version you can't do that - its  a ballache.

[Bubba]

Yeah, it works different now - you have to hit the b button, type or paste your text, then hit the b button again.

Not sure which I prefer yet - it'd be nice to have both - ie old style if something is selected otherwise new style.

[dave]

aye, with the old style you could do both, that was good.

seems weird that they should  remove some functionality!

[Bubba]

Do you use Firefox? If you use the rather excellent bbcode extension, that does it the old way...

[dave]

just tell me what i need to do then to make it work - i'm fully firefoxed up.

[Bubba]

I think it's ok with most recent versions of Firefox

Go here and install the extension.

Then restart firefox.

When you post and right-click in the reply box, you'll see a bbcode menu  - it's really handy for posting image links and stuff too...

[Bubba]

I've removed the birthdays thing from the front page - bit cheesy and just bloat.

[Bubba]

That's back in now....

[Bubba]

Added the other flags for your profiles:

[Bubba]

Things left to do:

- Re-instate the "suppress avatars and/or signatures" mod
- Hook up the album links to the gallery, not the forum album
- Restore the smilies

Errm....anything else let me know.

[Jim]

too many titles, eg ukboulderingforums index ->ukboulderingforums etc

[Bubba]

yeah, you're right actually, I've just got so used to seeing it - I'll change some of the text which should help a bit for now

[Falling Down]

It's much faster since last week - getting better all the time Bubs...

[Bubba]

Aye, 'tis a bit better but it's still dog-slow - I'm seeing if my hosts will up my RAM allowance as i think it's that that's causing problems...

[Bubba]

Yep, more RAM seems to have done the trick - much faster now.

[underground]

Yep, more RAM seems to have done the trick - much faster now.

Time to get them contributions rolling in?

[Bubba]

Yeah, I know <sigh>

[Bubba]

Re-organised the forum structure to make it (hopefully) less crowded and added the new FAQs forums

[Bubba]

Smilies re-instated

anyone else find that when you click a search to search for all terms in a post insteadof any (i.e. if it type in "walk on by" it shoudl only return posts containing "walk" and "on" and "by") it just brings back the normal results as if its just searched for any.
