If you're not concerned, I'm not concerned.
Thanks for your reply.

What you describe above is more likely form your web browser.
I think you're right on the browser business. Happens in IE6 (the 100% v. the 108% thingie), but not in Firefox 1.5. But it never occurred before the crash in IE6, which was my point, actually.

...the following is not a prelude to another crash, but in my Mercury theme, beginning at the point where the Index Template echos,
there's a marked hesitation, then the entire table shifts left, and the blue sphere icons show up.
That never happened prior to the crash.

« on: August 27, 2006, 05:44:23 pm »Not really sure whats causing that. I may to either disable spell check or custom smiles or something.
Do you mean ALL of that, or just what I noted in my last update? If the latter, I've since made two posts/modifies with no error occuring (but it's still slow loading).
Update: I now (9:57 PM Eastern) can't even get my forum to load at all. Clicking on the link to the forum just hangs the screen, and then brings a "Cannot find server or DNS Error".

« on: August 27, 2006, 03:44:05 pm »Ok, Might be better now restarted it.
SMF For Free
Better now, but still not up to snuff especially when clicking on the "New" icon (a delay of up to ten seconds -- more typically five seconds -- before the page begins to load is not untypical). Pages load OK otherwise. My forum's page loads (i.e., time from mouse click to beginning of page load) used to be almost instantaneous no matter what the page requested.
Update: Same delay is still happening on posting and previewing, I just discovered.
Further Update: Now every page request is running slow again. Almost a full 10 seconds before the requested page begins to load.
Further Update II: I'm now getting error msgs on Saving a post (either original or Modified). First time that's ever happened.

SMF:
Good afternoon.
For the past 20 hours or so, pages on my forum (http://musicandopera.smfforfree.com/index.php) are loading painfully slow. Is there a glitch or problem with the server on which that forum is located, and, if so, when can we expect it to be up and running normally again?
Thanks for your attention to this.

I think I may have gotten an answer to my question indirectly.
One forum that uses SMF software has a thread with over 22,000 (twenty-two thousand) replies. But that forum is using SMF version 1.1.RC2, not SMF 1.0.7 as here.
Is there a difference in database structure and/or operation between those two versions of SMF?

« on: August 23, 2006, 10:00:55 am »I don't believe so. I have seen threads with 100's of replies.
SMF For Free
100's of replies? I was thinking more along the lines of 1000's. My forum is, by design, set up as some 4 or 5 continuous Topics (discussion threads; only the Administrator can create a Topic). If things keep going as they've been going these past couple weeks since the forum opened, we'll have passed 100's of replies in very short order (one thread already stands at 342 replies, for instance). By asking the question here, I was attempting to avoid having to learn about the limit if one exists by the database (or software) crapping out on me, and entire threads (Topics) lost or scrambled.
Can we get a more definitive answer on a limit, or whether one even exists?
Thanks.

General Support / Thread Size Limit?
« on: August 23, 2006, 01:10:28 am »
Hello.
Is there a limit -- in terms of the database or the software itself -- on the size of a single thread? If so, is that limit set in terms of the number of posts, characters, file size, or ... whatever, and what is that limit?
Thanks.
