Improvements on the horizon...
Posted 15 years ago2009-04-01 03:56:24 UTC
I decided to make forum searching faster, so I used my newly required query optimisation knowledge and made it about 1000 times faster. What used to take 10 seconds (or more) now takes about 0.2 seconds, max. Uni is good for something after all, eh?
Anyway, forum search should work much faster, and give more accurate results. Note that it no longer searches thread titles because that was one of the things slowing it down (which is why it's now called "Forum Posts" search.)
I'd add more search options, but that brings us to the second point of the news: I'm recoding TWHL. Again. It's not going to be done fast, but it'll be done better. I'm not taking suggestions, because functionality will be mostly the same (or, in some cases, exactly how they should have functioned if they were implemented in the first place.) Obviously there'll be improvements, but that's for another time.

It's still slow and clunky and TWHL is staying broken. Enjoy the rest of your day.
EDIT: it was actually Daubster >:(
To clarify: I didn't write the italics stuff >_>

I know what you are thinking. No, I won't rant about it.
Hahaha. G-man wants TWHL in his power.
And PB, how did you miss that it was him? Next time you see him, tell him I said 'hi'.

And its good that you fixed that Penguin. Because people give their forum titles stupid names like, "How do I fix" and "Help me"

That's double minus 1, by the way. I'm doing my part to keep spam posts down.+1
I have an idea. Few people remember to vote for MotM so it would be good with a reminder for members who haven't voted yet. A big text on the front page should do the trick.
