Made a few “under the hood” updates over the last day:
Database optimization.
If a thread contains more than 9 replies it becomes multi-page.
Few changes to message board internal linking.
Rule changes! Removed rules thread on the file-sharing board. Point of this is: If you want to post about specific titles go there! All threads outside of file-sharing that mention specific titles will either be deleted or moved to file-sharing.
Just added a new feature when posting a new message. You can now subscribe to be informed when replies are made to it while keeping your email address hidden (from other users and ESPECIALLY spiders that scan websites for email addresses to send spam to).

Another thing. I am working on implementing a powerful search feature. In essence I have got it working, however, before it goes live, I need to add:
“search-spamming”-shield (to prevent people from nuking my website this way)
Caching the search results (for uber fast searches).
-Wheres the search feature?
You do not see this “search” button on the top of just about every message board page?
-Are all the posts from the first incarnation included.
Well I should expect so, since the site was relaunched that is. As I mention on the search page, however, there is still a small problem with words less than 4 characters not getting indexed (=returning nothing).

Something isn’t right...why is there a guest Bjarne?
Hmmm well his account says that he registered on the day of that last post (Nov 3, 2003). Perhaps there was no such thing as a registered account before then?
