No matter. The board will go into pwopah meltdown when Rafa scores the winner on Sunday!

Great job Scara et al.

 

[Midfield Maestro]

They'll get sorted soon, there's a lot of stuff that needs tweaking, changing and fixing but it'll get there

how did you get your avatar to work? And the board is speeding up now, before I couldn't access the site let alone forum, and now its coming along nicely

Changing it as admin is easy but we're still figuring out how members can change theirs!

I like the font and colours - nice and discreet for Work time browsing...

Is there any other kind?

 

[Solaar]

The site seems better today, what have you done?

 

[scaramanga]

If anyone knows about performance tuning vBulleting (IIS7, MySQL, FastCGI) I'd be interested in hearing from you.

The biggest difference so far was to put the web serving for the site onto 3 CPUs with the SQL server on the 4th. This seems to have improved things a little, but under reasonably small load the 3 CPUS are running at around 85%-90% - so that doesn't bode well for the 31st.

 

[ArcspacE]

Mine is terribly slow compared to the old ones

In addition - when all the major tweaks are sorted - I'd reccommend looking at those smileys if possible. Current ones are attrocious, imv

Must say - really like the subdued tones and colours - looks very smart

 

[scaramanga]

Avatars should now be working

 

[mudshark]

Unemployed at the minute but I will chuck ?ú10 your way as soon as I get a job. Especially as I got a sponsorship badge for free on the old board.

Ah, so that's what happened to the one I never got. Oh, well. "Badges...?" etc.

Hmmm, this unanswered query on their official forum doesn't bode particularly well, either https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/393339-Evaluating-Performance-Tools-And-Hints?highlight=performance

I've still got problem gettting site and posting, but as we use to say when I worked and something did not perform as expected "we are victims of our success!!!!!"

I don't think it's vBulleting that needs tuning (hopefully). It's something to do with the interaction between IIS, fastCGI, php and MySQL. All of these can be tuned individually, but I suspect I'll be better off just reinstalling the lot.

This is by far the best looking forum we've had to date - good job scara.

Example:

Transparent version:

 

[GGyid]

someone mentioned about contributions, scara, you managing ok?

 

[zin]

If I could make a suggestion.

I think a lot of people will have a bookmark to the old Spurs Views & News forum which goes to a page that does not exist anymore and therefore gives a 404, i.e. http://www.glory-glory.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=10

Maybe it's worth changing the 404 message to include a link back to the main forum page. It took me 24 hours to click that's what I had to do.

 

[GLENROYID]

Just got paid so am happy to make a contribution if needed!

[mick cooper]

Dumb post removed

 

[scaramanga]

I've removed all the Plesk crap from the server now and reinstalled - this way I know it's done right.

I'll keep an eye on performance and see what else needs doing.

 

[mudshark]

No material difference in performance, is my immediate impression.
