perhaps set up that if the forum is inactive(no posts) for 5 of it's first 7 days, it's removed (that way the testforums (that there seems to be a couple of already) will get removed after a week (and telling ppl to post there 3 times in the first week shouldn't be that hard?)

A similar problem occurs when you try to search. My guess is that it's a crashed table though. Do you have phpMyAdmin or some other database administration tool? In that case, use it to repair the tables search_matches and search_words.

Edit: Yes. "MySQL error:  145 = Table was marked as crashed and should be repaired"

perhaps worth adding it(optimize + repair) into the "maintenence" admin interface?  (and that mods can add tables to that list aswell)?

the PM mod probably need quite abit of optimize (as msgs are deleted) ... and the attachment mod will probably need it aswell if one delete alot of files ...

ah, I wondered what had happened ... and did an nslookup ... and figured it was either of 2 things ... 1. you had forgot to pay the annual fee, or 2. that the DNS had screwed up ... smile

hmm... lots of unused space in the table then (as it's a varchar(255)) ... as I remeber correct that the varchar reserve space in the topic, or do I remember wrong?

Well ... I do something similar to this ... sometimes wink

1. Take a pen and a piece of paper (perhaps several wink), sit down (away from the computer), start thinking on WHAT you want it to do . Start sketching up what parts you need, a basic layout how stuff should be viewed, and perhaps even start sketching on how you want to save the setuff (ie. basic database tables, what kind of values you want to store, what tables that communicate with each others etc.)

2. Start the computer, and make a test about the layout, is it what you want it to be (just use phony values and stuff, dreamweaver etc is usually quite fast to make some basic design... just to test ideas). It's usually now one will find out if the ideas one had in the beginning might work or not, if something has been forgotten etc.. When the layout etc is ok enought, I go on to the next step (Note: the layout will probably be different in the last version either way, but it will help to structure the rest of the work to have something to aim for)

3. Start writing basic functions, like database connections, login system etc. (and structure how stuff should be saved on disk), start creating databases etc. (for me they go through quite a few revisions, always small columns added now and then ... so I always write queries with SELECTS really defining what column and in what order I take them, as othervise it'll be a bitch to update database and scripts)

4. Well when basic login/database stuff etc is working, time to move on to actually starting to write the stuff needed. Page generation, upload/download things, etc.

5 - 20... big_smile New Code, bughunting, rewrites

21. Final touches smile


This is how I usually work on larger projects ... I'm mostly in steps 5-20 big_smile

sounds like someone sends the stuff more than once ...

in Admin-options, find the "Flood interval" setting, and make it larger (if it's 0 now, add 20-30 sec, then people cannot post more often than that ...)

might solve it... might not ... but worth a try (if the host is slow, ppl sometimes try to submit more than once ... or they may correct spelling issues and press submit again ... I see this alot on another foum(not a PunBB forum) I'm on where the server is severly overloaded sometimes... and some people post 2-3 posts...)

Well .... then when you said that 130'000 had voted, it was a bit exaggerated wink

Either way, polls willl rarely be 'accurate' for statistics, not 'optional' stats either.
When professional statistic companies base the statistics on 1000 people, they often make alot of work to select the 1000 people representing the area that they will do statistics on. + coverage of different incomes, occupations, ages, carowners, petowners etc...

A poll is there for those that want to participate, and some people will probably be more eager to vote than others
(IMHO, minority groups in general seems to be more happy to advertise their opinions and choises, just look at the internet word of mouth on FF ... and compare it to the WOM of IE wink ... I guess you'll see my point)

Concerning the os poll from the torrent-site: 130.000 ppl answering a poll is considered quite meaningful in the world of statistics. Most statistical surveys are done by asking only 1000 ppl or so.

lol, the poll image you refeered to says 24'366 votes, where on earth did you find 130'000? big_smile

but ... I don't want to get into the mac vs pc thing ... usually arguments are biased and sometimes quite exaggerated wink

well mostly possible to set to a single linebreak char instead of 2 that windows usually have ... so the parsers shouldn't need to strip out double chars hmm

(a sidenote, this viewtopic.php before my reply was just over 10kB ... compare that to Rickard and mine avatars, those are 2.8kB summed together, a small amount compared to the pages shown, + that the graphics usually are cached by the browser ... (and this topic is quite small, not much replies ... yet wink))

(Edit: with my reply it passed 12kB ... so one reply was about the same as those two avatars)

www.php.net
www.weberdev.com (has changed interface and such ... but still possible to dig out examples)

He have taken help from outside (like, Paul has worked on the css/output for 1.2), but I think it's good not to have too many chefs, as it easily turn into a mess ... where the 'creator' no longer has control over what happens with it...
