Hey Nex.....what servers do you play on

Very nice, Avitt

I know there are a lot of people out there who use Firefox. Because of this I would like to know what your most useful addon is? Personally, there are 2 addons I can not live without; Firegestures - Control your browsing by just using your mouse, a must have Foxmarks - Synchronizes your bookmarks, also a must have, especially if you use several computers like I do. so give us your most useful addons and maybe also your fav theme?

My, my...a lot of old men clearly in denial here According to whom?

Well, that's another way of putting it I use eAccelerator on this server. Basically no difference in performance between memcache and eAccelerator with our current setup. On a bigger setup, with more servers and more RAM to use, there's no doubt what I would have used

I thought you were supposed to be at work during the day T

The forum DB is just above 1GB. The forum is running on a MySQL database with a combination of InnoDB/MyIsam/Memory(Heap) table types, depending on what the different tables do and how much they are used. But when it comes to the search engine, keep in mind that it only indexes the posts and topic tables. These are about 800MB and I just tested it now, while we seem to have the regular amount of users online. It re-created the post/topic index in 14 seconds. So it's doing a decent job

Unfortunately not.

?

FYI: there are some backup processes, etc. currently running in the background right now that are rather processor intensive, so it will take a couple of hours until the forum will be up to it's regular speed!

A little behind schedule, but things should be "finished" This is what has been done today; Forum Security upgrades performed Report feature fixed so that it works for all members Forum images moved to a separate site/IP on the forum server- The effect of this is that instead of opening 1 connection to the forum, your browser will now open 2 connections to the forum; 1 to the forum files and another one to get the images. Two separate processes serving content will provide parallel processing, utilizing our multi-core processors and your browser loads 2 connections faster than 1. Server Hardware upgraded - Our server was over a year old. Prices has now dropped on new equipment, so we now get a more powerful processor and more RAM, without paying more. Software/DB optimization (ongoing process) - This is where the biggest focus has been. Server and DB has been optimized. Due to increased computing power, I have added more indexes to the databases, to speed up data fetching. Further utilizing of PHP acceleration. Instead of loading and compiling PHP scripts, the compiled PHP scripts are now cached (kept in the server memory) and serves up pages faster. The process of optimizing the database will take about a week, but this should not be noticeable to the members except that the site/pages will load faster. Search engine optimized further. The entire database is now re-indexed every 15 minutes and this takes less than 10 seconds!!

hmm...not sure. PM me and I'll have a look. If it is possible, you post will most likely have to be edited by an admin/mod to set auction end time.

As TT said; more to come

Ziggys articles are once again available in our new watchmaker resource center; Link: Watchmaker Resource Center We now have a new dedicated RWG auction forum where members can auction away their items and donate a percentage to RWG. In this forum you are now able to add the end time of the auction when you post something for sale; The topic will automatically close when the auction is over and the time left will be clearly visible; Both the RWG sales and auction area has been moved to our Trading Zone

@slay Let's stick to discussing facts and not who's got the biggest .... Post edited.

Sorry, buddy, but sometimes I don't have the time to post warnings about things like this. The change was active for just 1 hours, so the effects should have been minimal, but apparently some ISP's ignore the TTL records in our DNS setup to update their DNS's. I hope you are still not having problems with this.

Nah...Tried it today and while it's user interface is pretty much superior to anything else on the market I'm not replacing my HTC Touch Cruise

It is turned off for now

Seems to be some permission problems that needs some fixin'.

Actually, the knowlegdebase should be visible to all members. I'll look into it.

They are pretty accurate. Apparently I need bigger boobs and they have the pills (boob enlarging PILLS???) that can help me

Fixed.

Contact one of the admins/mods or upgrade your membership
