Steven P. Administrators Posted October 28, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2016 We're still on 4.14.3 so the update brings significant improvement to the forum for you. As usual we hope that the downtime is minimal, as these upgrades have typically gone a lot smoother than the 3.x or 4.0.x versions At some point the board will not be accessible anymore, and that is when the upgrade will be happening. +Anarkii and Draconian Guppy 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted October 28, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted October 28, 2016 Board might be a bit slower for the next day or so while it reindexes everything in the background. Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted October 29, 2016 Developer Share Posted October 29, 2016 This one: "There is now logic to prevent double-posting when the initial post encounters an error on submit" should solve some issues we've been seeing a few reports of Raa 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockz Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Noticing some lag when using the forum, takes a good 4-5 seconds before next page loads. Is that indexing still going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted October 31, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted October 31, 2016 There are no background processes running, will ping Dave later to have a look. Draconian Guppy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLegg Developer Posted October 31, 2016 Developer Share Posted October 31, 2016 I've tracked down the issue, the upgrade at the weekend dropped a couple of indexes on the topic table - obviously not ones that IPB normally uses itself, but they do get used generating the mini-spy data at the top of the page. This was causing the queries that load the data for that area to take much longer than usual, and at times of heavy traffic, bog down the database completely. I've readded the indexes, and things seem to be getting back to normal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
