After making the changes to the Forum outlined in my post in the Inappropriate Postings thread, I have had to fix one or two things. After this was done, I took the opportunity to implement a feature that I have been meaning to try for a while. At present, when you post a message, there is a considerable delay whilst the forum software sends an e-mail to everyone (many hundreds) on the list. Now, this will be written to a file and then sent later. This should happen every 10 minutes or so. Hopefully, you should see a significant improvement in posting times, albeit with a slight delay in your e-mail notification going out to the list. I hope you agree that a 10 minute delay is a worthwhile penalty to pay for the increased speed. This post is partly to test this new feature for real(!); and partly to alert you to the change and warn you that if you are not getting e-mail notifications (and, of course, these are set in your Profile), to let me know so I can look into it. If you have any comments, please feel free to post them here. |
