It's running perfect so far!  And I got my font back!!!!

What was going on with the forum to cause it to slow down and hang?

It was rebuilding the search index. It should work now. Let me know. 

Yes, it's fixed. Thank you!

Not sure  I rebuilt the database which usually has fixed the issues in the past but that didnt work. So I upgraded the forum to the latest version, that didnt work. So then I tried updating all the server software and trying to optimize it and that seems to have helped. The usage on the server is still not as low as before but its better. And it seems more responsive from my just clicking around. 

Is  there any way we can enable multiple polls for the same post?

Question: is there an issue with the little stars in front of the topics you have already participated in/posted in?

The last couple of weeks, I have noticed that the star is often times missing for me in topics I have posted in a lot.

It's only a minor thing of course, but it's behavior I have only seen in like the last month or so, so thought it was worth mentioning.

Hmm strange, that is usually due to Elasticsearch indexing issues but when I look it seems to be ok. Anyone else having that issue? 

Been getting a few reports about posts from last year where the images all seem to have disappeared. They were uploaded to the BZ server so not sure if there is a database issue?

Which posts? I recieved a DMCA regarding Hunkemöller and I removed thousands of images, so perhaps it was that? 

That would be it! Thanks

Have some of the developmental models topics recently been moved? It was a while since I had gone into that sub-forum but I could swear that there were more than one page of topics in there in the past?

I have personally moved any of the models from there, but a lot of those models are now 18 so they could have been moved out because of that?

Also we have a lot of staff who haven't been on the forum for 10+ years, shouldn't we get rid of them and look for some new staff that are around more?

Sounds good to me

I went through and cleaned it up yesterday. Anyone who was born in 2004 or earliest doesn't belong there. I also tried to put birth years where I could.

That makes sense!

Had no idea when the change was made, not a sub-forum I visit very frequently. But I did vaguely remember it having multiple pages of topics before, so that's why I asked.

What old(er) staff members have been inactive for a long time?

As for new staff, who would you want to add?

W

I don't even know who this is.

As for who to replace them with, I'm up for suggestions
