Well
If so many users load complete threads just to search in them, it might be good to implement a search feature, because that would put less load on the web server and database.
Or That

Yes, a search might be nice.
Search message title or title and text, username, date. Maybe an option to search for posts containing urls too. Display as posts with a link to the thread.
C'uh.

Searching

Use the Google, Luke!

Just add a textbox that injects the entered string into a google search like that. Blammo, instant search. Okay, not in finnish, but you get the idea.

Bring back the red armor logo, peach text, and cyan links of the original Qboard.
Or put Floyd back in the title!

growing amount of forum spam, I'm more and more convinced that the slowness is caused by bots ...
Hmm...

not sure... it seems like they have a pretty small presense on the board, compared to human users. Most humans read more than they post. Bots probably don't read anything, so they would really only visit the pages they actually post to. And they've only actually posted about a dozen times this past month. But since i don't really know the behavior patterns of a bot, so this is all speculation.
P.S. I've done a little bit of testing, and it seems to be a database problem rather than a problem with the queries themselves. Not sure though, I'm still probing.

help, it appears as if accessibility is a bit window-like, i.e. after a long latency, you have the opportunity to make a few requests. Then it becomes unavailable again for a long time.
