fides' Jack Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm confused as to how it will help performance. The only topics that should be processed would be the ones shown on a specific page. If it's actually pulling a query for all topics, and [i]then[/i] paging through them, that's pretty inefficient. We get around that at work by using Row_Number() (MS SQL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 There still isn't an option to view the full site from a mobile device if you've switched to the mobile version. I agree with everyone who said to archive threads that are a year to two years old with no responses. There are few older than dirt threads fun enough that deserve to be bumped.

The board is forced to search through a huge "posts" table, thus causing the whole board to slow down. What archiving does is move those posts out of that huge post table and into a seperate storage place. So, it still searches the content, but makes it more efficient.

arfink Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I hate to be a killjoy, what with the perpetual celebration of Selah's Most Wonderful Perpetual Birthday, but the necrobumping does seem to bother the peons. Make it 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Weird. My wife's Kindle always defaults to the full version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 OK, to start out, I set the "Archive" to any post that does not have a reply within the past 2 years. This will archive about 82% of the posts in the phorum. Anything archived will have a "Archived" indicator before the title. Moderators may selectively un-archive topics, if needed, which will prevent those topics from ever being archived again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 It was defaulted to the full version but it wouldn't let me post, so I switched to the mobile version before the upgrade (which enabled posting). There was a language button but not a full version button. Now with the upgrade I don't see any buttons and still can't switch back to the full version.

BG45 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Other than the Phorum running more slowly than it used to, I don't notice any new changes bar one (listed below). I like the 1-2 year idea on archiving threads. [quote name='truthfinder' timestamp='1332310138' post='2404648'] My profile now clearly states that I don't have any warning points - that seems new. [/quote] My profile has a warning (from 2010) for something that is no longer a Phatmass rule. Granted, I didn't even know I had ever been given a warning, so this is new to me.
