Board's been slow (both navigating and posting), and I've been seeing the erroneous new post numbers on the individual threads.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

And I apparently, didn't get a "new" message in Press when Sophia announced the results of the gaming thread vote.

Seems posting is sluggish for me today. Viewing is A-OK-fine. Posting.. takes a few to get it out there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm having that thing where "Read New" shows me a couple of messages I've seen already.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I noticed last night that there were a couple times when a thread would tell me it had new poosts but when I clicked over I had read them already.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Over the last couple of days, I've seen a couple of "post 213 of 212" type things.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you think these issues are bugworthy, make sure you're putting them in the bug tracker. I can't guarantee that'll make them go away, but it's a good list mechanism. I will need specifics about thread and post numbers and times, though.

Because books.
Pages are loading quickly for me, but posting still takes a while. Like, a noticeable while. Just FYI.

I poked at the board hosts to find out what we'd have to do to get to PHP 5+ and PostgreSQL 8+ as has been discussed in the past. They suggested a new server, naturally, with a new version of Plesk, at $10 more per month.
Is this market standard? I do remember the last time we had this discussion the Plesk upgrade wasn't on the table from them, but PHP 5 at least had been out for quite a while.
I'm searching through the thread, and it looks like this is the normal time for my annual CAN I HAZ POSTGREASQL?
Of course, now that I've bumped into Ruby on Rails it's become apparent that my ancient maiden aunt could code the board in her sleep, but there you go.

Nothing? From no one?
I feel that we're locked into a cycle that to get anywhere near today's versions of software we have to commit to more monthly money.
As is, I think we're locked into a dedicated server. It will take some re-architecture to free us from that. Thing is, I'm averse to that re-architecture in yesterday's tech. PHP 4 has been end-of-life for a year or so now. There are other improvements it seems silly not to address while in the code, silly to wait until next time.
