Did you do the mouse wheel thing?
Hold Ctrl and scroll up. The font will go down.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

ita, yeah, Redhat 7.3 is seriously behind the times. Later MySQL versions are much, much more stable under heavy load, for instance.
They're on about upgrading you to CentOS 3 from memory, which is a couple of years old. I think from memory it's PHP 4 and MySQL 4 based. I've used VPS hosting for Serenitymovie.org in the past -- it worked, but I had issues with MySQL so ended up moving away from it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jon, this is probably not a good place in the sequence to mention it, but I'm wondering if the CSS (or at least the ids and classes in the HTML) can't be streamlined using inheritance. I'm going to read up this weekend. I'm combing through it now, and it's just so wordy.

I agree ita.*
Can you fling me the password to the CSS site? I've got some time and could help out more.

Jon, I'll get that to you this evening/tomorrow morning.
It's probably no big surprise, but I've been working on the internals of the code with an eye to fresher platforms.
Current ramifications include much of the site rewritten on paper (okay, text files untested) in PHP 5 and PostgreSQL. By much, okay, I don't mean most. But if in a miracle it didn't need debugging, one could read and post and many of the internals are awaiting presentation for things like editing and deleting and admin stuff.

What's the advantages of PostgreSQL vs. mySQL?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't speak for later versions of MySQL, since I haven't developed for it past the version we're running now. I think it's catching up, but PostgreSQL has long had stuff like stored procedures and triggers and the like. It's supposed to be more stable, but like most stuff, it depends who you ask.

You might want to experiment with SQLite, also.

From looking at their web page I don't think they support everything we currently use in terms of SQL commands. Do many hosts offer it?

Hosts are generally MySQL, then PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL's been more advanced for many years. That said, I use MySQL myself nowadays and later versions are much improved, both in features and -- rather critically -- stability. I still wish I didn't have to manually rebuild and optimize tables, though, and the lack of active-active replication bugs me.
