Added in a batch scheduler, to run jobs at certain times of the day, but as of yet, no batch jobs.

Wrote a statistics batch job, and a page to show the stats.

Wrote a message that gets displayed at the top of the screen when batch processes are running, to warn users of potentially slower responses.

Replaced the auto-linking code to cope with more cases and stop over word boundaries.

Fixed the issue where it was leaving a hanging <em> tag.

Fixed the problem where you couldn’t use regular expression characters, like $ and ( inside markup.

Added new batch processes to get the top posters, and the number of threads per board.

Wrote stuff to allow you to look through threads by month. You can see it here, but on the test site, only 2007/03 has any threads—the first page is set up for the main site; hence it goes back to July 2000.

It’s work in progress this, as the main point is to allow Google to index the whole site, as it gives access to the whole site through hyperlinks. In time, I’ll do something that lets you hone down the search a bit better than just by month.

Wrote code to use Tomcat to simulate http://www.ilxor.com/thread.php?msgid=x so that we can get rid of Apache, but still support old links.

What this means for users is that we lose the 8080 and the proxy server, so if anyone’s still having trouble getting through at work, this should disappear.

Wrote a statistics job to produce a list of the top 50 most popular threads in the past week and put the results on the stats page.

Did a newanswers.php to fulfil the same function as thread.php too. At least, servlets that masquerade as these.

Support BBCode in poll items by user request.

In an effort to support longer user sessions for logged in users, changed the default session length to the minimum for the site (1 minute), and when users log in, programmatically set their session to be much longer to keep them logged in.

Avoids us having a memory overhead for random googlers, when they don’t need a session.

Added rudimentary support for bookmarks. You can bookmark a particular message and the bookmarks page keeps a list of these. Clicking on the bookmark will display only the messages from the bookmark onwards.

I need to add in support for removing bookmarks later.

— Keith, Saturday, 21 April 2007 21:44 (2 days ago) Link

Added in support for GZIP compression, which will take place on responses greater than around 100K in size. This will only happen if you are logged in.

This will mean that large threads will appear far more quickly in your browser.

Think I’ve figured out how to get MySQL to index text with words of 3 letters. Should help the search, if it works OK.

Not installed yet as I’ll need to restart MySQL. This will happen on the sandbox site as well as the main site at the same time, when I install the new software on the main site.

Thread searching has been changed to support + and—operators, wildcards, using *, and searching for phrases, using “my phrase” notation.
