Forum Twitter Update @unixlinux
Hi Everyone,
In the future, I will will be sending out a Tweet or two @unixlinux when working on optimizing the site database or other admin tasks which might cause site performance problems.
For example, when we optimize the database (normally on the weekend) there can be a fairly serious site slow down for around 3 to 5 minutes.
Members and guests who cannot access the site and post, feel free to contact me on Twitter (and follow if you want) regarding the site.
However, if the site is up and running, which it is 99.99999 percent of the time, please post questions, issues, or bugs here in the forums.
In addition, I will also be posting periodic updates and cool visuals and videos related to my cyberspace virtualization research @unixlinux as well.
Today I change the DB and the PHP code and rebuilt the database for similar threads at the end of each post, increasing from a max of 5 to a max of 10 similar threads per post:
