.....Obviously the 'experiment' is working! Hope they stay this way ~~ Thanks!

I agree with you.

 

[Brojoef]

Wow, they are so much faster. Yeah! I hope it stays this way too.

I missed "the experiment"...
what is it?

Webmaster Alex "hid" threads that had more than 10,000 replies.

Well, I would agree that it appears to have worked, because they seem much much faster. Question though, by "hiding" them, does that mean those threads are essentially closed? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I don't know, but I'd say that's probably correct. Hopefully most people will agree tho' that it's worth it if it keeps the boards moving faster.

I am so glad the experiment worked! Thanks Webmaster Alex!

 

[Brenle]

I agree. They are a lot faster. I think there were so many duplicate postings because people kept hitting the refresh or back button after posting a reply. (Myself included)

Totally agree tonight!

 

[themcgoos]

Wow, I wondered the same thing - they are flying tonight! Nice job.

I am lovin' it!

Another vBulletin board I frequent closes threads when they reach the 1,000 post mark. If lengthy threads are the root cause of the slowdowns, then I suggest that this be a permanent change.

The board I speak of still has the default vBulletin search available as well, so it is definitely possible.

The other board has 176,251 members, by the way.

YES! I can use the boards again! Between the super-slow boards and our crummy router, I'd pretty much given up on even trying to board for a while. Boards fixed, router replaced--I'm back, baby!

Thanks Alex!
