Update on the new Database Server

[lovetoscrap]

From Webmaster Alex:

Last night the boards were migrated to a new database server. For the technically inlclined the big difference is that instead of all internal drives this one is hooked up via fiber channel with to an EMC Clarion SAN array, we are using 10 drives in a raid 5
Like any new server it may need a little tweaking and tuning so bear with me for a day or two and the boards should be flying!

Yay! Does this mean that we still have some hope of getting the "New Posts" feature back somewhere in the near future?

I just post it, I have NO IDEA what it says or what it means!

But I do know that the Search function is a huge issue and the New Posts thingy relates to that. WMAlex has started a new tech blog to discuss the behind the scenes tech things like this. Here is the announcement: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1713508
