Steven P. Administrators Posted January 22, 2010 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2010 OK, Brandon from Invision Power Services has helped us quite a bit with some server configuration, and we appear to be holding steady even if the loads a re a bit higher than normal. Search engines are reindexing our new forum urls, and I think we're being hit like a cheap ###### as a result.. So with a bit of luck this is only temporary, we've told search engines to only index at a rate of 1 (link) per second when it was 10. So that should help loads. I'm not a server manager so maybe someone else can chime in and clarify it a bit more. Thanks again for your support and patience on this. Minispy and full page spy will be enabled once we are sure the server load issues are sorted. ritsuke, Steve Gosselin, Digitalx and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/867572-obvious-tweaking-still-needs-to-be-done/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 So the indexing was the cause of the massive loads during the first roll-out or was it a series of issues?

KitCh Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm glad everything has finally been sorted and we are back up and running.

Mainer82 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It is loading much faster now- I'm glad you were able to sort out the problems (at least as it appears right now).

lawtai Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) I've noticed that the display for quotes sometimes works and sometimes doesn't for the older posts.

Paul Paliath Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Okay, with the reputation points system, I noticed that there is a bug; nobody can give people points because they have "reached the maximum limit for the day", despite not leaving any points at all. In the IPB ACP, go to Members > Manage User Groups > (click on the user group you would like to adjust this setting on) > Global > and find the "Reputation" section of that setting tab. There, you can adjust how many rep points each user group is allowed to leave in a day.

Rob Veteran Posted January 22, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've noticed that the display for quotes sometimes works and sometimes doesn't for the older posts. This will be fixed in the coming days; a script will be running for 3 days ish to update all the old posts pre-upgrade to the new format - during this time you'll see oddness like that.

Roger H. Veteran Posted January 22, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2010 Sweet, seems to be going great and getting better each time. I didn't even think of the search engines adding loads to the server (10 links per second would definitely do that!!)

DaveLegg Developer Posted January 22, 2010 Developer Share Posted January 22, 2010 This will be fixed in the coming days; a script will be running for 3 days ish to update all the old posts pre-upgrade to the new format - during this time you'll see oddness like that. The script will probably take 2 weeks at the least to run, and I won't be starting it until I am sure any load issues have been resolved. Theres no point adding extra load Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/867572-obvious-tweaking-still-needs-to-be-done/#findComment-592140218 Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Lyons10 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 This is great. Thanks for all of your hard work, I can't wait to catch up on the forum discussions again... :) I did notice that the post count in my profile and in the forums is different. I was wondering what the difference was... I didn't see anything mentioned anywhere else, so I figured I'd ask in case it was a bug or something.

TogaForComfort Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I have posted this several times, but another will not hurt. Well done devs!! Now for a question :) Would have searched for this but it appears to be off at the mo. Will we be seeing the darkside theme coming to the forum?

I might be wrong though. Yeah, I guess this is the case, but it lists the post count as 'active posts'. I wouldn't describe deleted posts as 'active posts'. My profile post count is over 8,000 (8,025, and now 8,026).

SimplySchizo Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 didn't the vote to place post count within profile just barely win over keep on top anyways? Did the powers that be ever come to a decision on that?

My forum count (As of this writing) is 2,869 but my Profile count is 1,168. That's a really big difference. I can't imagine all of those posts have been deleted somewhere... I behave myself...
