Agreed. That too is part of it, especially in this case. But number of pages too add load to the server. Big topics need to be closed sooner or later and replaced by another here. Yep, quite true — which is why I included the . . . . per se. I also wholeheartedly agree that big topics do need to be split — an important (but generally overlooked) aspect of that exercise is, to have a brief discussion with the OP of such topics before the deed. This is not about permission or ego — it's merely about ensuring that the contents of the first 2 posts on the respective split topics would continue to deliver value-addition to the community.

I for one am just an forum administrator who is looking after the forums. Server is Lite and shought's lookout. Only thing I can say is that big topics do slow the forums and it is quite visible. 49 minutes ago, dcs18 said: Yep, quite true — which is why I included the . . . . per se.

Agreed. But in some specific cases when urgency is required its not possible to do so. Especially in cases where the topic starter has not come on forums from months if not more. But, as for non-urgent ones, I agree, the topic authors are best alerter or contacted first. Also, splitting is not possible, a new topic is always required here.

Thanks and and a cupcake for you! The reason I asked is because you can tweak the cache based on the DB size and media size per thread to prevent slow down. Also, instead of setting max page/post per thread, I would recommend setting it based on total media size per thread because if a thread contains a lot of media, it will most likely hit the wall before it reaches the max number of pages/posts.

Again, server is Lite / shoughts lookout. I cannot comment much on that. I would still like to know how you know all this though. Media is actually fetched when a person opens the topic. So I do not know if it can harm the server. Even if there are any chances, I think limit of 50 pages would be required here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised IPB does not allow topic splitting. The user also can't set the number of posts shown per page because the developers don't want to use the st variable for pagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards I was harassed for years by people on this forum and im still here , my problems started before you was even a member even , because i listen to the admins and mods when they told me not to let them get me down. They have no control over you only the staff have this kind of power just ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pardon him, I know he was upset for other reasons, and not really upset with me. you dont know what the staff said to this member , You cant see what goes on in PM none of us can unless it's happening to you . Because it's none of our business as a member of how they handle other members behavior problems, and its not a open board issue . I don't like seeing no one getting banned regardless if i had problems with them or not , because it dont really solve the problem . But sometimes the staff have no choice.

I was in that post when this happen and I know what you're talking about but that guy has been member here for years and i never seen him act that way before and i never seen him act like that again . Are you that paranoid, that you think people are going go 1000s of miles to harm you ? You would had a heart attack if you would been around before the Internet when we used CB Radio and everyone you talked too mostly was local and they really pulled up in you're driveway .

steven36 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 All i want to say this topic is forum upgrade bugs , Its not good to talk about board problems in the open board . I suggest you pm a mod or admin or use report if have you issues and stop making you're problems other peoples problems ,because this only make you're problems worse when the person who you have problems with sees it and from my own experience at another board you could make a staff member upset and they may want to ban you for not coming to them about you're problems. And i also suggest to stop pointing fingers at every new member that join and wants to contribute to the community with out new members this forum will surely die.

steven36 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well when i see bad things going on in these topics it really depresses me , all the members complaining about other members behavior problems and it just makes me want go to some other site tell it all blows over . And if i fell this way , how do you think the new guy must fell that just joined? Hes most likely to leave and never come back after he sees all these problems . lets try to be happy and get along and if someone refuses to play nice report them to a mod .
