*puts on show off size of forum hat*

Here's a screenshot of one of my forums...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. :) How'd it load, BTW? Didn't take too long, even with 30 posters with massive post counts?

No we have our server admin contracted that they have to upgrade our server when it reaches 70% capacity... I'm also on a fast 'net connection. It took at most 3/4 of a second to load.

Hey, noticed a problem with your forums: your post AND thread popup links both lead to the post popup...

I did that on purpose. :)

Ehhhh....ok. :confused: :)

I haven't installed any hack yet which gives a list of how many threads a user has started in said forum, when I do I'll change it. Until then it would look messy having the top half linking somewhere and the bottom not. Or maybe that's just me. :)

Excellent hack but it takes a bit to get some results and makes server loads through the roof. I made a hack like this a while back but didn't release it because of the massive cpu usage.

We have hundreds of thousands of posts on our message board and for the larger forums, it takes about 10-20 seconds to load.

Our server setup:
Web server: Dual P3 933 MHz with 2 GB of memory on Linux
Database server: Dual P3 933 MHz with 2 GB of memory on Linux

Before the hack, database server loads were around .15-.20, after the hack as people were testing it out, it hit 1.75-2.00. It's a cool feature to have, but I don't think an increase in server load that much justifies it.

Excellent job on it!

Yeah, it does lag a bit. Same things happen for me with the thread-related counterpart hack sometimes. Only thing I would advise then, to perhaps ease the pain, is to reduce it to only display the top 10 for each forum, rather than the top 30.

That's what I did. ;)

I've also installed the threads hack now, so my links are 'proper' ;)
