Server Stuff - Did Anything Just Break?

I've just installed and configured some stuff that makes the web server go faster*.

There's a slim chance I've just fecked up the server though... as not all of the code in the Vanilla software might be happy running faster.

So, could you let me know whether any bugs have just materialised that weren't there yesterday?

Oh, and I know that for a moments here and there earlier that the pages weren't available, that was me restarting the web server between compilations and configuration changes.

Cheers

• For the geeks it's a PHP precompiler for PHP5 with a split cache (per processor).
  

• For the none-geeks it's voodoo and black magic.
  

It's like having gears... you go faster ;)

I go slower with gears. That may because the only geared bike was dismantled and it sitting in a box at home though.

Or, judging by the grammar in my previous post, it may be because I'm simply too stupid to use them.

yeah- couldn't access it for a fair while.
fine now

hm, just one thing I noticed there, I tried to quote Tommy who was one of the first three post but because of the google ads I could not quote using the link as the overlay covers it with no option to minimise, just thought I'd point it out and give you a wee problem to solve ;)

Object I go slower with gears. That may because the only geared bike was dismantled and it sitting in a box at home though.

That'll slow you down alright.

All seems fine to me!

It seems a lot faster today than it has been for weeks. Is that my imagination? Maybe it's something to do with my interweb provider. Most folk will be surfing at work at this time of day, so more bandwidth for me (I imagine). I don't know. I just turn the wi-fi on at the socket. If it works, fine, if it doesn't, I call my brother.

It should be faster. Visibly so for everyone.

Well, it is. Thanks.

it went down for a bit earlier,
browsers still not able to recognize read posts though......even my own posts are unread WTF, come on dave

It's a Vanilla thing. That functionality isn't actually built into Vanilla and only two extensions offer it, one is buggy and a security risk but seems to function alright (we used to use this) and the other is buggy and secure (we now use this).

I know it's there, just like I know that discussions that have lots of whispers when followed from the front page lead you to a blank page as the pagination is broken in Vanilla.

I'm waiting for vBulletin to finalise their next version (in the next week or two), so that I can test an import and see what it looks like. If I don't like vBulletin for the job then I'll put effort into fixing the weirder Vanilla bugs and the bugs in the extensions. If vBulletin fits then I will migrate off of Vanilla, which is why I don't want to spend the time up front.

bloody geeks :P
i'll let ya off then

i've got weird porn pictures coming up all over the place.

oops, thats alt+tab :p

nooooooo i like vanilla! it's nice and clean looking

I've made a change... removed the "Mark All Read" in the hope of getting the single thread stuff marked correctly.

cheers dave, now every feckin' thread is unmarked and ya moved the "mark all as read" button......grrrrrrrr!!

Yeah, but it works now... at least the functionality works on a per thread basis. It wasn't working properly at all before... was telling me I had -258 new messages!?!?!

Hi velocity boy. How you doing? Good to meet you on the Sunday ride the other week.
The site is much faster now. Nice One

computeter says no!

works fine.. thread areas can be marked as read easily.. the things go from yellow to red when all read.. easy peasy
