Hi folks,
After Rick did a superb job getting our Classic 2+ million board transferred, there are a few things we need advice on. Here's the board:
http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.phpI've tried to look-up the items here, but having no luck finding the same problems being discussed.
Questions:
1) We're seeing periodic pauses or freezing when clicking a post, a thread, a submit button. We've tried to do some tuning in MySQL and PHP, but it's still occurring. It's being reported by admins, mods and members on IE and FireFox. It typically last from 30 seconds to a couple minutes. We're getting too many double-posts because of it.
2) I understand that the first time a reader goes to a thread, they get the first post. Then subsequently jump to the first new unread post when they return. That's what's supposed to happen, right? We're getting first time visits to threads where it jumps to the 4th or 5th post, then the reader has to scroll back up the page. Sometimes it starts on the 2nd post. Sometimes it works as intended. Our complaint thread on it is here:
http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2123596&page=1#Post2123596Those two issues are by far our biggest headaches. Here are a few other items we'd like to change if possible.
3) Is there a way to blank the "1" + "week(s)" in the default advanced search range?
4) Is there a way to allow longer subject titles than 50 characters?
5) Is there a way to move the sticky and hot topic graphics to the left side of the thread?
Something you may find interesting. Here's the article we produced to introduce some of the major features to the members:
