PunBB Forums → PunBB 1.2 discussion → The biggest PunBB?
I'm finding that here and there myself. Guess I gotta go to the backup email.
That patch definitely fix the problem.
So I'm assuming I've got the biggest? The only question I got is do we have any idea how big this software can handle?
Just an update I'm now at 699 members

It will handle just about any number of members/topics/posts. The limits are not in PunBB, but in the server.
A few months ago I converted a vBulletin database with 300.000 posts and about 15.000 members for use with PunBB and it worked fine. Actually I discovered that the database was missing an index, so I fixed that :)

Maybe it was the Sweclockers forum? just a wild guess..

... perhaps not that much ... but this is from the Admin page (showing the size of the sql tables) ... and I think I might be in the lead there
Rows: 74701
Size: 90.96 MBbut put it up during the summer(middle of july), and isn't open to the public ... yet
Edit: Well so far I think I've got the biggest database at least (defenetly not most posts though)
Rows: 103820
Size: 121.75 MBGuess people will catch this pretty fast when I now have released the attachment mod

Well it's to no use for you, as it's closed and doesn't accept new registrations...
We're still only 9 ppl, but the bb is alittle bigger now ...
It's used for developement of a few projects within that group of ppl, can't say anything more of it, or I'll get decapitated

But it's the files that does the size of it, the "attach_data.MYD" file is 171 MB
In 2 weeks, I've 36 registered users, 112 topics and 1347 posts.

The only problem I've noticed with PunBB is that sometimes my cookie times out before I can reach all of the replies on the forum and other times I've read every thread but it's still marked the entire board unread. Grr...
I'd say we need an easier way to view all the new posts, though I found clicking on the date of the last post and getting to it is helpful. [Edit: Just saw the New Posts link ... that's very useful, but not exactly what I'm looking for ... ]
I think the Show_New search should show not just the threads, but the new posts themselves, all on one page. Maybe have seperate iframes, to scroll up and re-read the thread, as well as a reply box for each thread, beside the thread's iframe perhaps. Because when your forums are getting tons of posts each hour, it's hard to keep up ... and having the cookie timeout before you finish reading all the replies is annoying, then you have to figure out for yourself what you haven't read yet and inevitably some threads fall through the cracks.

Yeah, at most, I'd say you've about 60000 rows and 7 MB of non-attachments 
Yeah, at most, I'd say you've about 60000 rows and 7 MB of non-attachments
Actually the files only take about 1400 rows (667 files*2 + some attachment rules for the forums) ... so the messages make the most of the rows ... about 157 820 - 1400 ~= 155500
but sure ... without the attachments the actual byte size isn't that large ... hmm... the table with most rows is the forum_serach_matches ... with a staggering 131 977 rows ... I guess it mean that one have long posts or something

Well, I stand corrected. Anyway, search_matches is huge for me as well, over 70% of the database is just for the search feature. I guess I've smaller, yet more frequent posts than in your forum. Interesting.
I have 25 registered users, 29 topics and 149 posts. It's been up and running for about a week, but the users will never exceed 50.

Whats really pleasing is how quick it is. One of the forums has 88 pages but it doesn't seem to slow the board down at all.
When I visit that URL, I get redirected to http:///suspended.page/ ?
I dont have so many posts, but still about 160 users. But, I don't use the pun_users only for the forum, there are 160 users that is registered to use my services at the whole site (http://www.codeshack.se)
