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?

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..
