Heads up! UBB 5.47 - no need to lock big threads now!

Yep, they finally did it - you can get to pages 2, 3, 4, ... x from the forumdisplay pages now - I'm going to install it shortly.

Good news for you guys - you can now use the page break feature and break threads up instead of locking them down at 100k or so - I suggest breaking pages at 25 posts since it saves on overall bandwidth costs with smaller overall file sizes.

Hey, Spark.
That's great.....except.
UBB's a Dog on efficiency.
UBB's a Pig on resources.
UBB DOESN"T WORK Spread the word. We're outta here, no matter what the cost.

Okeydokey...

BTW - UBB 6 (the major rewrite for efficiency) is alpha testing in two weeks. Hopefully the major rewrite will have some beneficial effects - we're already seeing improvements with 5.46 and 5.47 in memory usage.

BTW, my recommendation still stands - after 50,000 posts or so, just make the forums read only and start a new one - not as much chance for corruption when you don't have those huge thread and search files.
