    Boards is alot quicker since they disabled it.

    I say leave it disabled unless they get some serious extra hardware.

    How many hits does boards have in a day I wonder?

    The figures for October are presumably off because of the server outages, etc etc.

    Seriously though if you cant navigate through a forum without using a search function then boards.ie is definately a lesser being.

    Regi downgraded the php server from version 5 to 4 because it was causing some problems with other parts of boardsie. See here for details.

    Correlation isn't necessarily causation.

    Not that I know anything in particular about the boards.ie hardware apart from it apparently existing.

    when searching originally got disabled i turned on the 'subscribe to threads you have posted in' feature, now I can do the above by going into subbed->subscribed threads, it list all the threads you have posted in and ones with new posts are at the top in bold..
