UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Performance Question

My boards now have over 100,000 posts. Does that large number of post effect the performance of the boards OTHER than when the search feature is used?? Does it effect the performance if members are just viewing posts or making new posts?

Also, If I were to delete a lot of old posts, does that effect the count number of total posts made: IE: If I were to delete 50,000 posts, would that change the new post count??

If you purge old posts, it does not affect post count, that is cumulative.

If you don't want to delete, you may wish to edit each forum and limit the date range of the posts displayed if your board is active. (choose last 30 days, or last 60 days, rather than all dates). That can speed things up a good bit.

Also here's a list of other things which can reduce load on MySQL.

Musky...did you perform any of the recommendations that Josh gave to you? Let's make sure to keep a log of each setting that you modify so that we may track any associated performance changes.
