Forum Upgrade

Former_MSE_Neil

Last night we performed an upgrade of the forums. We believe it was successful but time will tell. If you experience any peculiar bugs please can you post them in this thread. We will be monitoring the forums over the next few days for bugs.

Thanks

Well, it's nice and fast now as I'm about to finish work and nobody else is awake and using the forum. One day after the upgrade would be a good time to check stats and server tuning and see if the optimal settings have changed.

Search is hitting "Cannot find server or DNS Error" errors. If it's just slow you might try LOAD INDEX INTO CACHE for the search index.

If that doesn't work because of differing block sizes in the index, copying the index file to /dev/nul can help, though not as much.

Both work by doing fast sequential reads instead of the very random reads you get from normal queries.

Keeps timing out for me, could be its back up time?

Search not working at all.

Merging threads it times out but when I check it has actually merged the threads.

I'm timing out all over the place - browsing, replying, editing...

I was just trying to get back to say that sra, everything I do it times out.

Couldn't get into this thread from the "front" page or it times out, had to come into the board and then into the thread.

Take that back, just posted there no problem using quick reply.

The "View First Unread" button does not appear to work and sometimes it does not appear at all.
