Development Discussion Board

Well, I think the easiest solution, which I admit is kinda dirty, would be to extend the topics table with a field that contains the preview. It will be filled on topic creation. This will mean duplication of data, but should hardly affect performance. Of course, it needs to be ensured that after ...

Perhaps two buttons on the forum creation screen which would send you either way depending on which you clicked to create would keep everyone happy?

Minor issue though, how often do you create forums on the majority of boards?

Woud it possibly increase load? It would have to pull the topic text from the db, put that proberly won't be too much of a problem.

The viewforum screen is usually one of the heaviest hit pages in a forum, with people refreshing checking for new posts etc. In a large forums, the posts table ...

personally, i expressed my view that rc-1 is a way too late point in time for the upgrade script to make an appearance, because this will basically mean (imo) that the beta testing will be limited to small boards, so any issue that's related to database size will not be caught by the beta ...

If you've been waiting since the 2.0 release in 2002 which many of us are, you'd know that the development team went through atleast three significant shakeups over the last 4 years. If you track the code changes, the frequency of commits and the maturity of the code, you'd know that right now and ...

Get to it lazy!

BTW When is AsciiCascade being released?
