History: My forum has been running for ages and is a bit aged too. Sadly I have a special hack which would have to be totally rewritten so I’m stuck where I am now. Over the years there’s been a lot...

There were a two log files that were humoungous >2GB
moved them elsewhere and rebooted, not only is it up, but it's screaming fast now too.

in the log files it's throwing a 'file size exceeded' message, though doesn't give a clue where that problem is

tried moving the log files and restarting - no help there

I run a board where I support a product base.

As such I handle a lot of support via email.

I find that if I don't have all my mail in one place this quickly becomes an impossible...

[MonsterMaxx]

anything that can be done?

Is there some problem with the "Most users ever online"?

I created another one, based it on registered and used the registered forum for "Create Permissions Based off of Usergroup"

looks like when I created a couple of these I didn't change the 'Create Usergroup Based off of Usergroup' set to anything.

I've created a new one based on 'registered' but still have the...

but it would be nice to know with a simple benchmark how it's running, could give early detection when it's going off it's feed.

[MonsterMaxx]

I was thinking something more along the lines of a benchmark of some sort. Maybe a timed script of some sort much like Spec.org has done with it's benchmarks for various CAD packages

[MonsterMaxx]

We been fighting a nasty performance bug and it sure would be nice to have some metric against which to measure changes.

if anyone know I'd sure appriciate it

[MonsterMaxx]

I'd like to have a single place to set them and in the usergroup a checkbox if I want something other than what's d...

[MonsterMaxx]

editable default global values for these settings and the ability to override these on a usergroup level


{maybe this is already here and I've missed it?}

[MonsterMaxx]

You need to go into the main options page and enable this feature first.
then go into the usergroup's permision and turn it on there too.
You need to do this for each usergroup you want...

[MonsterMaxx]
