Bob Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hi All, I've been working for the past couple of days to tune the forum software and server configuration to improve performance. :hurray: I think the changes I've made should have improved things substantially for most users - please let me know if you think things are better. -Jedi Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for your hard work, Jedi! We'll know for sure tonight, when the board gets even busier DarthCleo (yeah, that was my alter ego about 8 years ago... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubamama Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Jedi Bob- Thank you for all you do - my dh is a computer dude too for a university and I don't think he ever gets a "pat on the back". So here's yours...keep up the good work! We hsers need you :) Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doran Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I was hoping it would now also make dinner. Sigh. :biggrinjester: Thanks, Bob!!! You're the bees knees..or wings..or ground control...or something really important! I do have a curiosity question, not really a complaint or anything: Is there any way to include functions like smilies and text styles for the social group boards? Just wondering.

Doran Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Click "advanced options" under the message window. That was much too obvious. Maybe I need Bob's help to improve the performance of my brain. Although, Cindy, you've done a marvelous job yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate in Arabia Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I don't have the "server busy" messages anymore, but I am still always logged out whenever I navigate to a different page. For example, I'll log in then click on a board and am logged out. I click to post a reply and have to log in again; then click to check my messages and have to log in again; then click back on the main board and am automatically logged out again. And often I will log in, it will say I successfully logged in, but instead of proceeding to the page I wanted it kicks me back to the log in page. Often I'll log in, type a new message, and when I click "Submit Reply" I get bumped to the log in page. It never happened before, then it started happening sporadically, and now it happens all the time. Should I assume this is a problem only I am having? :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks so much for all your work! It's been great here for me--except all the time I'm spending updating pictures and things on my "wall". :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't check the box, it logs you out after a short period of time, I am guessing maybe 10 minutes. Are you checking the box, and still getting automatically logged out?

Bob Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 I had to restart the forums this morning after a brief outage... after the restart everything went back to the "the new normal" of running much better than before.

Robin in Tx Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Things have seemed much better - haven't gotten a server busy message since the upgrade. Until tonight. Right before posting this mesage, I had a hard time getting on for about five minutes. Just fyi, in case it helps. Thanks for the hard work.

Storm Bay Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I love the tags because it allows us to tag really good older threads and have them brought up again by people asking the same questions. Then they get added to and made even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Lover Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It seems my private message allowance was decreased from 50 to 20. No one else's was and so I am wondering if there was a reason, or a glitch in the new programing.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violin69 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi All, I've been working for the past couple of days to tune the forum software and server configuration to improve performance. :hurray: I think the changes I've made should have improved things substantially for most users - please let me know if you think things are better. -Jedi Bob I'm having problems with Hybrid display. The threads box on the top displays way past the screen; the box is wider than my screen but the post boxes are normal. In order to scroll down, I have to go across horizontally and cannot see the names of the posts any longer. I don't know if I need to do something in options or if this is a part of the problems you are working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 After doing as much as I could with server tuning, I added more hardware to run the forums last night. It seems to me that this helped quite a lot, even today during peak times. Let me know if you get any more server-busy messages. -Jedi Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
