We should hopefully be moving these forums soon to a much bigger, and better server which will reduce this problem - and php acceleration software will also be installd (which effectively caches files in memory after they have been turned into machine code)

For some reason, I don't really believe that. :p

I'm gonna try to make a simple caching system for that one post... I'm getting sick of the forums being so damn slow.

Will we still get Max server load messages when over 400 guests view the forum when we move to the new server? Also will we be able to keep all of the forum stats and not start again? I am preety n00bish about server running and mybb so it would be helpful if you told me.

We don't get them now, do we? ^o)

There can be 500 users online, and the server load is high, but not over the limit. The main problem I see is just the slow response time.

Yeah, the database can just be copied to the new server.

Update: My caching thing works now, but there are some dodgy bugs I should fix... :dodgy:

Thanks I was just wondering so I don't look like a n00b on the new forum.;)

OK, I think I've worked the bugs out of my caching system now. Users requesting the MsgPlus Beta thread from external sites will be redirected to a static HTML page: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/pid331874.html. editpost.php will automatically update that page when someone edits the post.

From externaal sites...? Like if people post the link on to that specific thread on another site and you click that link it doesn't open the forum thread, but the static page?

* Markus is testing it...

Hmm.. pasting this link (http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=34015) in my address bar links to the static....

Direct linking to Patchou's post (http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=34...d=331874#pid331874) works fine (opens the static)..

BUT.... linking to for example CookieRevised's latest post in the same thread (http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=34...d=339122#pid339122) also links me to static page which, of course, doesn't show Cookie's post... :dodgy:

Am I just being picky (or are you lazy :grin:) or is this a bug :wink: :tongue:

Not for me, because my browser sends an HTTP_REFERER when I click it, and that lets my script know it's definitely not an external link. :p

But I'll do something about it anyway: if a pid is specified and it's not of Patchou's post, you won't get redirected to the static page.

yup, same here, works perfect...

Although the forums are still slow though...
And I still get server load limits...
