How old are the topics you want to edit? If they are very old the site won’t let you edit them. I would suggest posting the new content either in the topic and asking us to merge it or starting a new topic and closing the old one.

related to this thread, I've updated the SSL certificate today as it expired, should continue as normal

Okay all complete. The server is currently baulking at sending out the group email I originally wrote when we relaunched the rebuilt system. That was stuck in the queue as well. the index should all be built now.

Wahey, posts are done, rest of tasks are now running!

it's okay, we're now at 102.6% captin!

hm.. progress log shows Processing RebuildPosts - IPS\forums\Topic\ArchivedPost - 2131981 / 2770476. Dashboard shows 100% done....

99.66% done of the large task, bunch more to complete after that's done. Stay posted!

68.5% !

42% It's like going back to watching 56k modems

37%!

At least it's going now; it should have been running gradually in the background since the upgrade but due to me having the number of database connections too low it was bombing out. Think I will have this laptop running for the next week to keep the tasks running.

Running at about .5-1% an hour with 75% to go. Looks like about a week of churning away!

24.3 .... Its the biggest task for the box to do, pity it won't complete the rest of the tasks in the meantime; sadly it has to do this first.

Now at 23%....

Posts are at 22.5% complete. It was 17% when I left laptop on last night. I've tweaked the settings so it'll run unattended. At this rate it'll take a few days!

It's part of the upgrade process. Sadly the task to rebuild the index is after the post rebuilds. My list looks like this: 22.63% Rebuilding posts 0% Rebuilding status titles 0% Rebuilding topic titles 0% Rebuilding gallery image titles 0% Rebuilding blog entry titles 0% Rebuilding event titles 0% Rebuilding status images 0%

13% of the posts rebuilt. There's a lot to do, but I've now increased the setting son the server side to allow the background tasks more resources to crack on and get things done! There's something stupid like 2.4 million posts for the script to chunk through. It was meant to do it in the background as users use the forum, but it's just not been quick enough. Still running now, have asked the chaps at IPB if there's a way to get their script to run a bit faster.

Funnily enough I've just been in to upgrade the forums and saw that they've been running albeit slowly in the background. I've now set them to run in a tab on my browser here. I guess it'll take ages but hope that a bunch of stuff is done overnight if I leave this laptop running.

Ah glad it is working fine for you now. We have a slightly slow period while we run the backups (on Sunday) but that’s it. I think I am still rebuilding the forum posts in the background since the update. Must check on that routine. Something like 2 million posts to reformat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

How fast do you find the forums since we upgraded? I ask as someone has commented that it's slow, and I'm trying to pinpoint if there's an issue with certain countries or times. The forums should be nice and shiny/fast for all at the moment.

Lemme see there must be a way for it to remember it for you...

From readin the invision forums it appears that there's been some contention regarding BBcode. It's enabled, so you can add it into the post/reply box and it'll appear correctly but the parser turns it into HTML these days. I would love to find a custom button I could add to the CKEditor that enables BBcode view but I've not seen one yet.

Do you mean one that shows BBcode style stuff rather than HTML?

The index for the forum is being done slowly in the background. It is about 30% done so far. It’s going to take a bit as the forum is huge. I have been looking at ways to speed it up but haven’t seen anything as an option that I like. It will get there but the forum is just huge! isnt there a code view when posting? I believe it’s the “source” button then you can see the code view. Does that help?

try now, think i fixed it
