Slow Thread

[Kosmo]

I have a thread on my site that all of the sudden just crawls when trying to access it.

It has 53,355 replies

What would cause it to just start crawling all of the sudden? And is there anyway to fix it?

Its basicly getting too large. You need to close it and start a new thread.

It's weird because yesterday after posting this it was running fast again then today its back to crawling.

Is starting a new thread the only thing to do?

Anything else?

The way threads and posts together, along with pagnation, it creates a problem with very large threads. Some of the issues can be delt with, but the real soultion is to close threads that get that large.

Is there any way to take posts from such a large thread and move them over into another smaller one or new one?

Yes, you can select the posts to be moved or copied to the new thread using inline moderation then select either Move Posts or Copy Posts from the inline moderation menu and select the forum that you want to have them moved or copied to as appropriate.

Are you talking about thread tools at the top of the thread?

No. Inline moderation. It's the checkboxes in the posts and the moderation menu at the bottom of the thread between the last post on that page and the quick reply box.
