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

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Me, too. Loooooooong ones.

Had extreme sluggishness around 5:30 PST. I could traceroute fast, but all else was glacial.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That was me, sorry.

Next step in board testing will be buffistas.net. I've taken a snapshot of the board's data from late last night, and I'll test the data conversion program tonight, and hopefully be up for testing sometime tomorrow or Thursday. For that, if you're registered here as of last night, you won't need to re-register. It will be the same ID and password as here.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What's changing?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

a) I'm making the code run solid in safe mode and b) I'm switching the threads to each have their own table.

a) is just a good idea, and I should have already done it. b) should hopefully speed things up as no post table will go much over 10,000 records, and a crash of posting in one thread should have less impact on posters in other threads.

I'm also on the path to making sure all the admin functions are coded--there are a couple I'd poke straight in the database for--thread sequencing in a folder, for instance, and a page to create and edit thread folders. I've done the latter.

Excellent! I like the b) move a lot. I don't know enough about safe mode to have an opinion, but it sounds... safe.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I have an image of ita wrapping different lines of code in teeny, tiny condoms.

The site's going to be slow tonight while I run the test conversion.

Is anyone else still having big-time lags even now?

ETA: Looks like it zipping along fine now. It just took a few minutes to post my last message, and I got a fail error before then when I was trying to access Natter.

The board was normal speed all day for me, until the past 10-ish minutes, when it dropped to comatose. It took about 5 minutes after clicking on the link to this thread for the thread to even open.

t edit Okay, and that post took literally 10 minutes to post.
