Thats exactly what I had in mind. In my opinion, I don't see any reason for more than about the last 500 posts to show, if even that many. How often does anyone actually go back and read all those old pages. Maybe in some rare case you would need to go back looking for something but not too often.

Sage advice-I'm with you cause I'm pi$$ed they closed the bitch thread. Having only the last 500 posts would work and the prior posts archived and still accessible if needed.
That's part of the slow problem here but I am slowed down in threads with only several pages. It's always taken me longest to load the bitch thread.

i've had problems for the longest time, whenever i check 'my account subscriptions' ie http://www.afterdawn.com/users/list_subscriptions.cfm , it kills the CPU on whichever PC i'm on, due to being subscribed to 20,000+ threads, that certainly exercises my CPU's, i can imagine how hard AD's servers are working with the various functions, never mind just mine :)
i guess i shouldn't subscribe to half of AD :P

Hmm.. I think it might be a good idea splitting up the list in several pages.. =)

Starting the new bitch thread helped it. But TY thread, old timers thread-still slow as molasses in January.

i think it would be a good idea to refresh most to all the old longer threads

I've changed the list_subscriptions page so that it's split in 100 posts per page. In your case that means 200+ pages, but at least it won't crash the browser anymore. ;-)
Please let me know how it works for you.

At least at the time being that might be the best and quickest way of solving the problem.

Definitely. With over three million messages in the forums (combined) archiving older messages is inevitable. Deciding what to archive and how is another matter, but even archiving threads that haven't been active for a year would probably help a great deal, and hardly anyone would even notice the change.
Thanks to everyone who has suggested how the large threads / old messages should be tackled with. I take it that it would be preferable keeping the threads with thousands of messages intact, and just archiving older messages from those threads? An alternative to that could be automatically splitting a thread after, say, every 500 messages (20 pages) and cross linking between the old and the new thread (i.e. having an automatic message as the last post of the old thread explaining that the discussion is continued in a new thread, and vice versa).

Ketola, the subscription split is working just fine for me. Good job.
RE archiving of older threads/posts, I prefer this idea..

Cheers boss, excellent work, now the list loads instantly, and obviously i only regularly need the first few pages anyway (i mostly use the subscriptions page at work to see what's new as work blocks home email addresses). I shall be using the subscription page more often now, thanks a lot..

If I understood the problem correctly, it should be fixed now. Fresh threads are now always fetched from the master server, so they should be up to date at all times.
Threads _can_ on some occasions be out of date for users not logged in. But that really shouldn't happen either anymore. If it does, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know via this thread.

i know the thread i started for the nero cd/dvd scans has alot of scans posted and it might be slower than other, this is just something i just suggested in that thread. instead of posting the scan itself just post the link to the url. so there wont be any big jpg,png, ect.. to slow things down... dont know if that will help any, but worth a try????

It's sad that we have to close such a great thread (docTY thread) but the premise behind it is GOOD.
creaky, you have humor??? :P
cincyrob I responded in the scan thread. Your suggestion isn't much different than what CDF does most of the time, I thinks it's a GREAT idea. ;)
Ketola thanks for the work you put in on this! I know how it can be to work hard/long on something and get ZERO praise. :)

Yes Ripper I was having a bit of fun in a semi-serious thread. :P Oh!! And I've been victim to it a few times. He's really a nice guy at heart but you have to play like a BOUNCER in AD if you're a MOD. :D

A slight tangent, I see the mods over at cdfreaks regularly merging posts between threads etc, which would be a nice feature, but that's a discussion for another day. However for now, I'm all for being able to chop 1000s of posts and move them sideways. I can see this being used often :)
