John,

Thanks for the last seven years of development. What you have created here is amazing.

[Joe]

Congrats guys!

I remember the day that vB went live, I quickly went from UBB to vB, v 1.11a (anyone else remember that version? ). I have been a HUGE vBulletin fan ever sense.

Anyone want to buy my 20" G5 iMac?

Thoes 24" iMacs are SWEEEEEET. I would love to upgrade...

I love having a 20" LCD (G5 iMac), but for usability and web development, I prefery having a dual 19" monitor setup.

Hey guys, what will give me better performance on my database server:

4 10k SCSI HD's - Raid 10
or
2 15k SCSI HD's - Raid 1

[Joe]

I would love to only index the last 12 months worth of data for search, it seems like it would be an easy feature to add to 3.6.1 or for somebody to hack in....

Want to save money? Drive slower!

Driving slower = more money in your pocket. There are dozens of small changes you can make to your driving style to get high MPGs.

CRAP!

Thanks for your help Colin.

Well, the files were created in the last few hours, when trying to change from vbulletin search to fulltext.

When i attempted to delete the file, this happens:

root@host [/var/lib/mysql/bikeforu_forum]#...

[Joe]

Not that I know of... but not sure how to check. Its a rather standard vb install. Nothing extra or fancy, but a large site.

BTW, there is a 4th file:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql...

[Joe]

My /var partition is 100% full, looking around my database I see these 3 files:

-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 1261620680 Jun 20 01:54 #sql-9bf_1551.MYD
-rw-rw---- 1 mysql mysql 65983488...

Search is killing my server. I have ~3MM posts, and 1500+ users online thruout the day. If i have search disabled, server load is under 1.0 on the front end server. With search on, load avg's 2.5 - 4.0...

[Joe]

This worked, is there a way to solve this issue and have similar threads on?...

[Joe]

Quite a few of my users recieve this error message when starting a new thread:

Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/bikef/public_html/includes/functions_search.php on line...

[Joe]

*nod* I replaced the home page with a 4k static html page, no graphics. I have been asking people to link to the home page, rather then the thread directly. After a few changes to the software, the load...
