Issue upgrading to 5.6.3

[Mr Peabody]

Confirmed working!

[Mr Peabody]

To be brutally honest I gave up on it and haven't tried it for months. I found it frustrating that "recent posts" in no way resembled that which was on the main forum's "today's posts"...

[Mr Peabody]

It has?...

[Mr Peabody]

Just closure on this I worked out what the problem was. I didn't have a prefix set for my main and test forum so they were conflicting, once this was set I haven't had to flush the cache since or encountered...

[Mr Peabody]

I've reconfigured memcache and use the php code as per this thread to test it https://forum.vbulletin.com/blogs/vb...-blog/3936342-
Everything came back ok so I'll see how it go...

[Mr Peabody]

Ok sorry bear with me I'm not a IT wiz.
Every time I clear the cache the Data Usage which is currently 4.86 GB (and steadily climbing) reduces significantly. If this number is going up does that...

[Mr Peabody]

When we had the discussion about performance I had switched over to memcache as it was on VB4 (we never got around to it). Unless something isn't set up correctly the problem remains.

[Mr Peabody]

[Mr Peabody]

[Mr Peabody]

After the latest scare I just want to be sure.
After 8 months since switching to VB5 I'm only just now getting to grips with the new system, custom templates etc for each section of the site. One...

[Mr Peabody]

I'm using the Static HTML module with basic code to create linked banners for each of our sponsors websites.

[Mr Peabody]

I also had "Use Remote jQuery" set to Google which by that site created a significant delay. I've set it to None and have noticed a significant speed increase when posting, editing, moving etc....

[Mr Peabody]

Is there any benefit to running the new script if the old one was run previously?...
