Re: This way to the Egress
It's an easy matter to flip the arrow that links to the oldest unread message in a thread, the image already exists, so I've flipped it, but would appreciate feedback from any other members who have opinions about this. I never felt like an arrow was quite the right icon.

Re: Bug?
The "d" is the default favicon for dBoard, used for new installations. When I initially flipped over to the new code there was a bug that made it unable to find the favicon for EvC Forum, so it defaulted to the dBoard favicon. That bug has been fixed.

Re: There may be a slight delay...
I'm now going to take an incremental approach. I only need about 30 seconds at most, so I just need the minimal battery backup that provides enough watts. It turns out that getting up above 750w is pricey, $200 and up, but since you say my box doesn't unlikely draw as much as it says in its specifications (maybe it's what the power supply is rated for?) I thought I'd bring home several UPS's and try them in order of increasing wattage, keeping the first one that works. Do you or anyone have a guestimate for actual wattage? My box is a humongous beast, a maxed out Dell XPS 700, about five years old.

Re: There may be a slight delay...
I'd already left by the time you added your appends, but based on your advice that my computer was unlikely to actually be consuming 750w I bought a very similar UPS, just twice as many watts, 450w instead of 225w. Works fine. It's an APC from Best Buy, it looks like a simple box with 10 plug outlets and a very heavy battery inside, though rather small in size, maybe 2.5x3x5 inches. Thanks for the help. I know I didn't follow the advice about Best Buy, but it was very helpful to know I didn't need to buy the mondo UPS for $200.

Re: Still Cannot Search - Tried Different PCs
No change in the problems with search, I assume?

Re: Too many posts...
Panda writes: While creating a new message - every post in that thread is displayed in the box below the input box. This was occurring for general replies to the thread and not replies to a specific message. This is fixed. Only page 1 is displayed now, along with the standard links to the other pages, which is the way it used to be. Thanks for reporting this! Edited by Admin, : Grammar.

Re: Ratings & Page Highlights
Jon writes: Also, I noticed that the first page in a thread, where I come when I first click on the topic from the forum page, is no longer highlighted blue in the page lists at the upper right of the screen. All the other pages highlight when I am on them, but not page 1. This is fixed - thanks for the bug report!

Re: email notification
This should be fixed, but I won't know for sure until someone replies to me. Notifications aren't sent for replies to yourself. I appreciate you reporting this, thanks!

Re: A couple of bugs and/or features
nwr writes: 1: There is a "Reply" button showing for most posts, even though that account had its reply ability disabled. Of course, I tested it, and was not allowed to reply. So this is mainly a cosmetic problem, and perhaps not too serious. I think this has always been this way, but it's a good idea so I've put it on the todo list.
2: If I click on a thread where I had not read any post, then all posts are presented in a single page. The profile settings (20 posts per page) is ignored. After I have read the thread, if I go back into that thread again, I then see 20 posts per page. Your description is slightly different than what I observed, but I think this is fixed. Please let me know if you still see a problem. Thanks for reporting these! Edited by Admin, : Grammar.

Survey: How's the performance?
There were three reasons for moving from Perl as an implementation language to PHP:
- Broader acceptance among the potential customer base.
- Much easier installation.
- Potentially better performance.
I'm curious about the last item, better performance. I've performed various simple performance tests between Perl and PHP over the years, the last a few months ago, and I've found that they are very similar. PHP seems to have a slight edge in MySQL access, but only by a few percent that wouldn't be perceptible to a user. PHP is measurably faster referencing associative arrays, maybe by around 20% if I recall correctly, but the code isn't referencing associative arrays most of the time, so in a normal program this impact would be tiny. But PHP is rumored to scale better, which means that it performs better when there are multiple simultaneous accesses. Simultaneous accesses is a more difficult test to set up, so I never did this test. So I'm curious, for those who think they can tell whether the performance is now better, worse, or the same, could you post a short note to this thread? Thanks!
