I don't know what Gzip does! All I know is it was the only thing I've seen mentioned here that has anything to do with compression! Embarrassed

I was already considering to implement a kind of compression to avoid that problem.


Sorry for being not explicit enough. I didn't think of gzip or anything similar.

What I meant, is to keep only the latest relevant entries of the log file. If you visit the same thread quite often, you will have a lot of entries in the log file. Once in a while it may make sense to clean up a little bit and to keep the latest entry for every thread only. Regarding threads, that would leave us with a single entry for every thread in the log after this kind of compression, the last read...

Since my board is quite new and my users' logs are not so big yet, I may be wrong. But right now I consider to do this "kind of compression" once in a while to be a better solution than deleting the log files an a regular basis.

Am I wrong?

Each thread visited is only stored once in the users log already, regardless of how many times the user views that thread.

Very interesting, that was not the case on my board. Whether an older entry remained in the log or not seemed to be a question of chance somehow. But I didn't do systematic tests. I just saw it by chance in several logs. After I cleared the logs a few days ago, everything looks fine now. ???

Unfortunately I don't have the original logs on the unix server any more. I may have run into a problem like the CR/CR/LF (instead of CR/LF) problem before. But I used to think that this happened in a particular FTP program when I actually downloaded a file from the unix system to my windows desktop. If the file on the unix system has CR/LFs instead of LFs only, the FTP program may have been trying to be helpful and replaced CR/LFs by CR/CR/LFs instead of replacing LFs by CR/LFs. Don't ask me if all this is related, I have no reasonable idea in which kind of problems I ran. But the fact remains, that I didn't have a unique entry for every read thread in the log. Looking at the code I should, but I didn't...  Shocked

Krikkert,

I just wanted to say thanks for taking this project on...  and also thanks for those who helped test and debug it...  This mod has made the experience on my board more easy and enjoyable.

Thanks!  Smiley

hehe...perhaps the mod writers themselves should get some limited access to the mod database, so we could upload the latest versions of our own mods Wink

[Edit: thisiszero had a problem which was specific to his board and turned out to have nothing to do with this mod. The problem has now been solved, and our (offtopic) discussion has been deleted!]

just to bump this and make a suggestion. How about an admin link (like the rebuild membership link) that parses through all the users files and check to make sure the topic is still valid. =) I have not run into this but it seems to me this might be a problem for those boards that have topics deleted often =)
