Well it is a really big issue on the comps board, as duplicated comp threads can disqualify a member from being entered into a competition if they enter twice or more for a comp... :eek:

Good luck with the upgrade. Hope you have a good implementation plan, with checkpoints and regression points!

If you have performance problems, throwing more hardware at it is not always the answer. (but I'm sure you know this already).:D

I'm presuming everything went well?

It went down a minute early, I know that much! I was just typing a quick response to someone, and there it was gone ... :rotfl:

Lagging - Frequently the search database lags behind the live boards by a significant time. Sometimes over 30 mins or so. Makes it very difficult to find recent posts by a user should you wish to.

Sadly, that problem has not been solved.

i think that the comp comp threads get very high viewing figures

Competitions Time (463 Viewing) & that's quite low, later on the figures will be much higher,

so it could be quite a big issue for the comp posters & entrants if the search isn't working very well

Please excuse my ignorance, you'd be disqualified from where? What is so special and yet so complicated about that board that they couldn't do without a thanks button and search system that they seem to be always talking about? Been meaning to ask this for a while really. Sorry about taking this offtopic for a mo, it's been a puzzle to me for quite a while.

ThankYou Webby, it's been fine so far, shall report surfing troubles if any without fail.

meher - they can be disqualified from the competition if they enter twice - they often click thanks as much to mark to themselves that they have entered that competition and if there are duplicate threads they get merged etc.
From a BG point of view it's a nightmare as it makes searching for a spammers other posts impossible and you have to go and check your boards manually - a much slower process
