Re: Email Notification
This is a test reply to see if your email has the same problem as RAZD's. If so, I may conduct more tests.

Re: Email Notification
Your failure mode is different, and I can explain neither your nor RAZD's problem. I'll continue to poke at it as I have time.

I'm not sure if this has been addressed, and I don't fancy going through 14 pages to find out, but does this dboard version have any implicatins for the problems with threads breaking around the 300 post mark? Under the UBB software, adding a message to a thread required three steps:
- Update the message database for the thread.
- Update the search database for the forum with the words of the message.
- Regenerate the HTML pages for the thread.
Under dBoard software, step 2 is *much* faster and efficient, and step 3 no longer takes place as HTML pages are no longer generated because pages of messages for a thread are generated on demand (which is why everyone can choose how many messages they want per page). This should remove any practical upper limit on the length of threads. I imagine ever 10,000 messages would be okay.

Re: Message Count
Mr Jack writes: Why is that topics that don't span multiple pages don't get the number of messages they contain listed in the 'All Topics' view? This is annoying me, too, and so is likely to be fixed soon. The problem also appears on a couple other message list pages, though not in precisely the same way.

Re: Email Notification
Are you saying that you received *old* notifications sent to your Netscape email account? If true, that would be extremely weird. I wasn't going to say anything, but since you mention this, I filed a report with our webhosting company, and the answer was that they're not aware of any blocking being done by their email server. They added that some company with a name I don't remember, but something like mailabuse.org, has included their email server (somebody they host must be a major spammer), and that if Netscape subscribes to their service then this could cause the problem. I have insufficient time to investigate further.

Re: Message Count
Mr Jack writes: I notice also that you've chosen to adjust the page link lists so that it omits the middle section of longer lists. I'd suggest that this is undesirable and reduces the utility of the interface, except in extremely long threads (perhaps 30+ pages?) which are rare or unheard of on this forum. I understand, but some people might have the number of messages per page set to 5, so they'd have many, many pages, 60 for a 300 message thread. So you're not finding the "<<" and ">>" that skip backward and forward by 10 pages useful? If so, would a different skip amount help? Another possibility is to make the number of pages listed before using "..." user selectable through the profile page. Those with opinions, please let me know what you think.

Re: Old style page still exists
The old software generated static HTML pages after each message that was posted, and I haven't yet deleted those pages. I wanted to keep them around until Google and other search engines had indexed the site after the release of the new software. Google first indexed the site about a month ago, and I've noticed at least one other engine also indexing the site, so it is probably safe for me to now delete these pages.
