Subject: What is the limit before locked threads?

Written By: Indy Gent on 07/02/02 at 02:31 p.m.

I guess I can address this to Hairspray. But the others can answer too. I know it's 20 pages, but how many posts would you consider the limit before you lock up the threads? The "Yearbook" thread had 285 posts, and the "New Game" post had 286. It this about the range of posts you want to be the limit? ???

20 posts, at 14-15 posts a page, I make that around 287.5

Basically, so yeah, around 285 posts would make a "full" thread.

Simply if the thread's at page 20. It'll be locked sometime before hitting page 21, indiscriminately.

we're just looking at the page total, not the the post count.. it's more of a bandwidth concern than a system performance issue, though I'm sure it hurts a bit to load a big file over and over again.. the system doesn't work off of an SQL database like it probably should (and the new version promises to), hence anything I can do to insure it runs smoothly I try and do..
