Well either way, it's roaring along very nicely indeed at the moment. I just clicked "reply" and the reply window took only about second to load! So nice one Matt and all that :)

Aye, it's definitely a hell of a lot better just now. Yay!

I've done that USER_THREAD thing (that Mark was on about) and made unread messages only remember up to a configurable number of seconds away (defaults to 1 year now but can be set to -1 seconds to go back to the old default) so if you want to you can set up a forum to never remember unread threads (0 second cutoff) which while mostly pointless someone might find a use for.

 

Only slight loss of functionality means loosing the [x new of y] bit on threads which haven't been modified since the cutoff and instead they'll display as being fully read. You'll still be able to find threads with posts addressed to yourself easily using the right option and find recent unread threads so I really don't see that as being a problem.

 

Comments?

Thank you Matthew Beale.

Beautifully speedy at present.

It's useable again, which is great. Cheers dude.

Well done Matt a massive difference to how it had become.

 

Absolutely spot on.

Some trade-offs have to be made and I'll take a nice speedy forum over a small piece of extra functionality which I might find useful once every few years every time :)

Hurrah for doing that thing I was on about, then.

 

Good work, though, seriously. Massive improvement.
