Thread Rating System is Working Again

[ghoststrike]

Well I seconded the motion

I third the motion. So many threads and replies earned TF out of the unavailable puke emoji

This board is running like shit. Did this shit get worse? WTF

 

[Simply Sickenin']

We ain't shutting shit down. We made it through "database errors" we can make it through this. No offense to @Database Error

I hate seeing people comparing the current shit going on to the database error era. These two board disruptions are completely different.

The database error era mostly effected the board at specific times. The issue with the current board is that it might take 5-25 minutes for a single page to load. Only for the board to immediately crash again before you can even finish a response.

And thread with more than 10 pictures in it is fucked. The current board loads pictures like 96' dial-up internet.

Yeah, ok.... no one cares about specifics in comparing the two. Both are annoying as fuck, that's the only point of comparison. We would prefer to have neither.

Goodbye to 1-star hating ass bandits.
They live for that shit.

Welp, tough day for the brotherrrrrrrs.

Not trying to jinx anything @HNIC but is the issue fixed? Seems to be running better

Well played sir.

No it's not fixed yet, I denied access to the main forum for guest and robots.
That seems to help a little.

I'm obviously not looking at the server side, but just seeing where there's lag using developer tools in Chrome, shows a lot of javascript errors serving up avatar images i saw. My only assumption is maybe that suggestion I said in the other thread about increasing those tables may help. Question is why after all this time its having these errors. Doubt the rating plug-in would do that just because its no longer supported. Wouldn't cause a sitewide issue or many other forums would be reporting the same.

For the last 3-4hrs the board has been stable...... fingers crossed

Thanks. She's running fast right now and week have Total: 7,384 (members: 229, guests: 7,155)

Bet against truth has made people who sports bet wealthy… like I said b4 you need to start a YouTube channel called that.. you make your daily sports prediction on it… most watched YouTube channel .. whatever teams you pick vote against them.. you make tons of money off the views , the people make money betting against you.. make America great again, create it truth

Hnic had to go Friday the 13th part 6 for the board


Sometimes you gotta go full Jason lives to get shit started again

 

[Entrepronegro]

Thread Rating System was no longer being maintained so it was removed.
I'll look for another option when we get our server problem solved.

Good. It wasn’t been used right. People were just using it just cause they didn’t like someone and will just 1-star threads just because of that reason. So that’s when it became useless.

I pray for these lurking guests to post something daily ...

Lurking Central.

At least click some ads yall.

 

[Tom Slick]

Make tranny posting against the board rules again.

 

[ansatsusha_gouki]

It's been smooth so far. It would take almost 15 minutes to load a page up.

@Mixd I forwarded your comments to support. The ratings plug-in is a non issue

Here is the reply:

Just to clarify what’s already been done:

1. The MySQL side is already optimized.

We tuned the MySQL configuration and added the missing indexes — those are the changes that actually improve XenForo performance. “Optimize/Repair Table” wouldn’t help in this situation.

2. The remaining slowdown is related XenForo’s pagination and the queries it utilizes. We see this in our slow query logs.

XenForo uses OFFSET pagination, which gets slow on very large forums because the database has to scan and skip hundreds of thousands of rows for deep pages. That’s the main bottleneck now.

3. The JavaScript/avatar errors are front‑end site issues.

They’re caused by missing/broken avatar paths or caching problems. They don’t affect MySQL performance, but they can make the page feel slower because the browser keeps retrying failed image loads.

So in short:

- MySQL is tuned and indexed.

- Table repair won’t change anything.

- Remaining lag = XenForo’s pagination + some front‑end JS/image errors.



Thanks!

Thread Rating System was no longer being maintained so it was removed.
I'll look for another option when we get our server problem solved.

Upon further review the Ratings plugin although not maintained is not the issue with the server slow down.
When I'm 100% sure the server problems are fixed, I'll re-enable the plugin.

 

[keone]

I mean you need to keep that removed since there be trolls on this board abusing that shit.

one star thread is not relevant no more since we have a thumb up and down.
























yall negros better give my threads 5 star regardless

I betcha Support would've been had WGOL aka White Guys Online Working correctly!

I assume you mentioned this about the adjusting the MySQL variables?

@HNIC would optimizing and repair of the database tables do anything on the server side in Xenforo? If that does nothing then most performance issues are resolved by adjusting MySQL configuration variables (like key_buffer_size, tmp_table_size) rather than just manual table optimization.

 

[theoriginalgreatone]

Never even used it

 

[geechiedan]

It took me several hours and a dozen attempts to open this thread and make this post.

HNIC, you might as well shut this place down until the server gets right. The board is running ridiculously slow.

I have only paid for membership online for 2 things... a 25 dollar lifetime membership on MFC and annually for BGOL. THAT IT. there too much other free things online. So that should tell you how much I support the board but I gotta say of all the messageboards social media platforms Ive been on...BGOL is the only one that has as many problems that it does

 

[OutlawR.O.C.]

I say get rid of the thumbs down and keep the thread ratings.

 

[HNIC]

yes

 

[HNIC]

The thread rating system is working again.
If i need to make some changes to make sure it's working like before
Let me know.

Sorry I had to remove the plug-in, it just had to be done.

Thanks
