Post's Time Out
My posts seem to time out in the afternoons when I try & post. I have little activity on my router during this time so it shouldn't be a bandwidth issue on my side. Is it a bandwidth/overload issue with the DBB?

Richard is a good man, I will be a little more forth coming with what we will be doing.
The DBB runs off the phpbb platform and when we moved to the current host they were set up with mssql, PhpBB runs on mssql but is flaky to say the least.
Recently RC haas setup MySQL and we will be porting the DB back into MySQL sometime in the future, no actual dates are set yet as I will be recoding the latest version of phpbb with all of the DBB mods currently installed.
The schema of the database appears to be nearly ready and over the next week or so I hope to finish remodding the phpbb to include all of out mods. In the mean time RC will be practicing the import of the database from mssql to mysql.
The recent upgrades should have had a positive impact on the search engine.
Please keep in touch we welcome inputs!

I know a lot of people use and like phpBB and I don't want to bash it, hard anyway…
phpBB doesn't use any back end optimization to improve it's performance. Every thing the BB does is all written in the files (index.php for example) that must be parsed by the script engine (PHP.exe) every time the page is loaded by a visitor to the web site. This includes all of the database functions. Many functions of the board could be optimized and placed in pre-compiled functions in the back end like posting a message, reading a message, and searching messages. If the most common activities were done like this the system would be hundreds of times faster and more stable.
I guess I could write my own version of a BB and put as much of the ‘business logic’ in the middle or database tier but that would take an enormous amount of time. I guess it might be fun some day though.
