elYsiun.com is going to have a bit of downtime on either sunday or monday.
Reason for this is some database restructuing, and all 10.000 posts will have to be parsed with a php script,… dunno how succesfull this will be so I will also have to make a backup upfront, all in all I hope to get it ready within the hour, but it might take longer.
Basicly, this update will eliminate double posting almost completely (adding another cool check), and I know atleast the moderators will love that :).
During the update I will also change all nicks larger than 11 chars to 11 chars and edit the nickname field in the database. If I have time I will also add a couple of more entries to the profile, such as first name, last name etc (perhaps a picture field??).
i hope everything goes well… the picture field idea is wonderful!! excellent thinking, try to incorporate that if u can… 11 chars eh? well… i guess thats cool :x hehe
well everyone the downtime is gonna be a bit less, what I had thought would be quite an intense update which would take aprox. an hour to achieve (due to a pretty intense php script) took me 2 seconds all in all, and I didn’t even took the website down for the upgrade :D.
Anyways, I still made a pretty significant change to the forum database which will help prevent double posting in the future. I will wait a few hours with updating elYsiun.com again to totally prevent double posting. the 2nd update also won’t involve any downtime.
I have also limited all nicknames to the 11 characters. And will update the profile page later this week (perhaps today, but perhaps not).
