Dear Marco: forum caching problem
Hi,
I want to create a forum wiht roughly 2000 subforums. However, i googled for forum software and found the following quote from marco: Quote:
Thanks much Or, after doing some googling, is it possible to move the forum cache, which would hog up my ram, to a hard drive based datafile that could be readable? Please let me know. Thanks |

I don't think so, I suspect you have simply read about moving the datastore to a file rather than the database. All that means is the forum cache will be loaded into memory from the file, but it's still in memory. There is no way to avoid that in 3.x

Is 2.x still available for sale? |

Your friend is seriously mis-informed, it's more like about 2K per forum.
As I said, there is no way to avoid it in 3.x You can still download 2.3.x if you buy a licence. |

Like Paul said, there is no way (well without rewriting half of vBulletin) to avoid this caching in vB 3.x.
Both Paul and your friend are somehow wrong on the memory usage per forum (or they could both be correct ). For each (sub)forum there is some information stored in the cache, you should think about things like Forum Name & Description (longer names/descriptions will use more memory), array of permissions for each usergroup (so more usergroups also mean more memory used), etc... Next in this calculation is the number of online visitors and the number of pages they load. Each page will load another set of cached items in memory. So in the end it will be Cache Size * Number of Page Loads. If you purchase vBuletin you will have access to all active versions, including the vBulletin 2.x versions. If you are starting a new board i would however try to avoid starting with an old version like vB 2.x at all costs. I would start by looking into alternatives for using that many forums. Using 2.000 forums is not only bad from a server perspective, but it will also very likely confuse the members and probably even prevent users from registering as they are overwhelmed with the number of forums. |

thread prefix is a tag you can apply to any threads inside a specific forum, which will permit to identify them, select them per tag and even let you search across each tag depending on your needs.
expanding this would be like the Categories/Tags on a blog... |
