Maximum Forums? · **Released**: 08-31-2007

What's the maximum number of forums supported?

I've added 1100+ forums and am now getting a MySQL error when attempting to add any more (MySQL Error : Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes Error Number : 1153). It gets this error when trying to update the serialized data in the "datastore" table.

The particular setup we need requires a minimum of 10,000 forums, so running out at 1000 is a bit disconcerting. And yes, we really need that many forums - it's one for each "product" and each product will need it's own threads.

Is there a way (plugin/etc) to remove the cacheing for the forums or at least optimize it better? We thought of running multiple databases, but a couple would need 3k forums, so that's not helpful either (and user signon implications would be bothersome too). Also, increasing max_allowed_packet would just delay the problem.

Thanks!

Do you know of a hack or other ability to control usergroup permissions to view and post by prefix? If there were such an option that would be a viable alternative to forums for me.

this is always possible to create such a addon for the prefixes system... not complicated actually... just need to redesign some hooks. (and by "not complicated" i does not mean "sooo easy and quick"... i mean it is possible, not brain burning...)

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
