x2, I couldn't get on until almost noon. Ha, only reason why it bugged me was that I needed to start a local meet thread and I needed to buy something.

Is 693 users really causing that much traffic?

Yah, suprisingly it gets used alot... but its probably the single most harsh thing that can be done to a database server that has to search 4.2 million posts every time its done

My god... That's huge!

Just was searching the Buy/Sell parts thread and the search page did not even return a result that matched from Page 1 of that topic.

Is the server hosted in someone's house or something? Does it need some new parts?

[USC_SRT]

Yo eKool!

Would it be possible to switch the search over to just using google and having google index the whole site?


Something is wrong when the search sucks and the forum is overloaded at 3am


As i asked before, is the server personally owned or is it being leased from a hosting company?

Using the advanced search works really well for Buy/Sell... just specify that you only want to search within the last couple of weeks.

Whats the deal with the edit function? Everytime I try to edit my own post It makes me sign in?

Don't know what tools you use but can your search program be more specialized. As in search in specific groups aka SRT-4 Technical Discussion. That way it only queries portions of the database instead of the whole thing.

If you've already got a new server with a killer processor(s) don't know what else you can do that will be significant

The advanced search feature already did this. When searching you could search the entire database or you could select specific forums you wish to search for information.
