I'm seeing what
I we can do to improve the performance of the forum (without throwing more munny at the problem)...
I've deleted a load of the old, non contributing members - their posts remain but they have sadly gone...
The reason for this is that the forum software has to update the database for each and every one of them when there is a new post - essentially a list of unread posts for people that haven't been here for years.
On that subject, can I ask you ALL to click the 'Mark ALL Posts As Read' button on the bottom right hand bit of the screen on a regular basis please? Again, the system will be keeping a log of all posts you have yet to read (and probably will never read) which apparently takes a significant amount of server time...
THANKS!
