must be a webhost configuration thing -- there's probably a maximum SQL result size.

One of the major features i want to add to func is "paging" where you basically browse through a thread page by page -- like google results. In the meantime, i should probably add an "end=whatever" querystring variable, so you could specify a range. Either that or a "count=whatever" variable. There'd be no UI, but at least it would provide SOME sort of access. 

Pages would be more welcome sooner than a search function, actually.

BTW, if you're not already there, could I drop a func_ link banner in at ModDB's links list?

Unfortunately it seems some people there aren't aware of func_ -- someone said my work posted there was godly and I quickly refuted that point and showed them some releases here at func_ ;) 

Those features would be great, but as I also sometimes fetch entire threads for archiving purposes, I'd like to be able to get the whole thread in one package as well. Is it possible to ask the webhost to raise the SQL result limit? 

I'd have to look into it more. Maybe what i should do is just set up some archive dump process that spits out a file that people can download. 

For now I download that thread manually from the last post in the archive. 

the obvious, but the site access latency is now around 1-2 minutes. I'm curious, what is causing these high latencies? 

... sometimes this morning it was not accessible at all ! And I needed to retry many times before having something on screen...

Was there any server update or something else ? 

Globat.com will be performing network maintenance during our maintenance window this weekend in the period from Sunday, August 7th at 11:00pm (PST) to Monday, August 8th at 6:00am (PST). Although we do not expect your site to be down for the entire time, we want to make sure our technicians have enough time to correct any unexpected issues that may arise. 

phait: yes, you can link to func from moddb. sorry i didn't reply sooner. 

I keep getting "RECURSIVE ERROR: There was a SQL error" when trying to access Func. 

when i get that, i can usually "refresh" and it works again. But i ought to fix that error message to be more descriptive. 

I believe so! 

Was wondering, have you considered getting a shorter, more representational dedicated domain for func_? 

there's no need to do that. I think most of people are so used to this domain (at least I am). 

But I don't see a strong need to do so. Plus it would cost more :) 

If you change your mind, I'd pay for it. What's $8? ;)

While I do have the site linked on a custom home-page my browser users, I'd imagine a dedicated URL would be easier for others. 

$8 is the cost of a damn good sandwich from Bear Rock Cafe. 

Have you changed the forum post headline font lately? I find it a bit harder to read on my system. 

my browser just had a fit. 

I think it outrageous that Func_msgboard doesn't have a FavIcon. Please resolve this issue immediately. Also, please add some popups and the obligatory Google Ads - thank you. ;) 

and maybe some flash! 

What timezone is this board at? 

Is as slow as fuck at the moment. We're talking an uber-delayed tantric sex 3 day fuck at that. 

Seems to be GMT-8 according to French timezone..
Shambler sent a message at 06:00, when here we have 15:00, and we are GMT+1 (in summer time) or GMT+2 in (winter time)... I guess the server is located in near California...
Metlslime, could you confirm please ? 

it's pacific standard time (or pacific daylight time, currently.)
