Forum Update - June 2, 2009

Published on June 2, 2009 By GunslingerBara In Forum Issues

Hello everyone!

I just pushed an update to the forums with some heavy performance improvements done to the backend by our database engineer. A lot of things were changed, so I don't expect this update to be perfect. Please take a look around, and if you notice any problems or any areas that could use another performance boost, let me know here!

There were also other, minor changes made to the design and back-end structure of the forums. Most of these are miniscule, so I won't bother to list them, but anything that seems off or wrong is definitely a bug, so be sure to let me know here or via PM!

Nope... this https://forums.galciv2.com/354474 still shows 4 replies and it has more & less depending on "when" the refresh occurs__ed.

Sorry, some posts may require a reply before the count is updated. I replied and it updated, then deleted the reply.

I at least see the page #'s now.

Just not seeing the >'s in the my replies to take me to the last position in the post. but its getting there.

I cant imagine how much work all this is, so keep up the good work, and hang in there!

Bara, yours is numbered 106 (here, btw), thus the count is "differently" handled by site(s) or doesn't refresh where & when posts are registered within the DB function.

Do a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5) and they will appear

Not sure I understand, it says 109 at the top of the page, which is accurate.

In FF3, clicking on the 'go to last read reply' arrow of a post when viewing the 'My Replies' list takes you to the top of the page containing the last read reply, not to the reply itself.

Top of page post count seems to be refreshing correctly now.

Yep, the *current* tag of that specific reply which i just quoted above has the accurate "number"... but if you look at the...

Boxed quotes such as this;

[quote who="GunslingerBara" reply="9" id="2240120"]
Quoting RomanDA, reply 7I at least see the page #'s now.

(yours is listed as #9 (instead of 109!) and also gets the proper id=2240120)

Then, the presumed tags (possibly by the parser) differ which might explain why the refresh(ed) DB count couldn't or can't match some referencing process between different site(s) be it pages or recorded reply slots.

I just tried it and it takes me to the proper reply without a problem. Can you try hard refreshing (Ctrl + F5) on that page to see if it makes a difference?

Where do you see my reply as being #9?

Where do you see my reply as being #9?

On the quote box. Basically it uses the reply # on the current page, rather than the overall thread. 25 replies per page x 4 pages = 100 replies, reply #9 on page 5.

I see the problem now. Was it like this before yesterday's update or after?

I'm pretty sure it existed before the update as well. I don't really notice it, but I remember someone brought it up in a thread.

Those problems should be fixed now. You shouldn't see them anymore
