yep - its a real bitch today. i'm hoping that when apache gets bounced later tonight it will sort it out. unfortunately i'm powerless because i dont have any control over the box due to have supposed 24/7 support (crazy i know) *banghead

Dont know but I reckons its BeBe, she has 150,000 PM's in her box, blame BeBe.

Paula,

 

You can have as many as you want - dont worry - they wont slow the site down

 

It could just be purely the number of people online. Unfortunately the Who's Online screen doesnt currently report who's viewing what on the other parts of the site - specifically the gallery - there could be another 40 or 50 on there, although I'm sure it should be able to handle 100s

Dunno on any limits set, Paula... But it shouldn't make too much of a difference most of the time.

 

In theory, (I don't know UBB itself all that well, but do know other forum scripts and PHP/MySQL and the best practices, that's why it's theory) PMs will be kept in a separate table, and so although loads of PMs would increase the database size, unless that table is being interrogated (eg, you call up the index to your PM inbox, or open a PM) it shouldn't have too much of an impact.

 

Though, if BeBe's continuosly reloading her PM inbox, this could be causing extra queries and a high load... But even then, she'd have to have F5 taped down on a fair few machines before I'd expect tooo much of an impact.
