true... Uploading fixed txt

Yep, I completely shut down the forum, and the forum is the only thing on the dedicated server.

Ooh... this is so tempting...

what does it do exactly and what's the advantage of having this installed?

well it seems to be working perfect now
i have it installed with similar threads and unanswered posts
u can check at my website
it removes the need for a search index hence making your database smaller and faster
extremely good for large sites
it will be standard in vb3.1 but don't know how long that will take
and large sites need it now

check this link for a better description of its capabilities

If you install this, Erwin, please let me know what you think of it. If you're brave enough, I may have a go at it. ;)

thanks for explaining that, it's fairly exciting after reading that thread :)

I am running it - small board, but definite performance improvement ...

Plus I just like the fulltext searching bonus!

[size]and I'm a sucker for a hack not many have installed ...[/size]

ok one problem theres an option when u make a new forum where it says do not index posts
traditionally this stops people from searching those forums
but with this hack to be able to do that
u have to be able to exclude forums from fulltext searching with the same setting

reason is because i have the unanswered post hack installed and also the news syndication hack installed

which means that all posts in the news area will always be unanswered
so i do not want them to be searchable

Same here, too.
