Re: The Never Ending Thread Causing Server Problems?
Quote:
The site is based on queries. each page has a list of PHP commands that query a database on the server. Every time someone opens the thread, the server has to calculate how many posts there are, how long is each post, How many post should be displayed per page, How many pages and so on. In theory, 1 person opening that 5000 post thread uses as much computational power as 1000 people opening a 50 post thread. It's been years since I've done any PHP/MySQL programming and i've never installed Vbulletin; Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. The server probably has more than enough power. Matty is probably correct when he says viewing the thread doesn't cause problems. btw, There's no hate for the thread content, just the number of posts in it. |
