In one of my forums I have 25,000 + threads. If I try to delete/move a topic I have problems. If I try and delete a topic it deletes the corresponding HTML/CGI file but it still lists it in the thread listing, but when you click on it you get a page not found error.

So could it be timing out because there are so many files in that directory. Delete/Move works fine in all other forums.

Thanks

Are you deleting these through your FTP? If you are, update your threads and they should dissapear. Try that.

No via the delete function on the thread page.
If you delete via FTP it doesnt delete it from the .threads file until you rebuild the index, and thats a pain to do after you or a mod deletes a topic.

Well did you try updating the threads or deleting the thread through the CP? (These are just ideas that come to my head, not the solution )

If you delete via the CP it works fine, its just when you use the delete function on the bottom of a thread page.
Ive worked around it. I just closed that forum caregory, made it read only and started a new one. Now delete/move etc... works fine.
I think it could be a combination of cgi / server speed issues.

Thanks

Hey just curious which part of Melb are you from?

Your in melb too? I'm from Taylors Lakes, which is North-west of Melbourne near Sunshine...

No way, haha small world, Im from Deer Park

Holy Macaroni, Thats close. I used to live in Deer Park near Brimbank Central (Deer Park Shopping centre) and then we moved here.

I live about 1 minutes drive from Brimbank Central

I lived on Neale road so it was like a 5 Minute walk. The Shopping Centre wasn't that good when were were there just had Safeway and Target and then it got better After we moved.

Ohh yeah, that shoping center use to be pretty crap before they re did it, but now its pretty nice. I use to live in Birchwood Blvd, its across the rd from the shoping center, then we moved elsewhere

Yeah, well we have Watergradens here (Not sure if you heard of it). It has some good shops there and they recently opened a Harvey Norman here, which is good.

yeah Ive been there on a few occassions, and supercheap autos across the road there! Perfect

Yeah, built some good shops there. I heard a rumour they are buliding a Myer and David Jones there, not that anyone cares.

Ohh really, thats not bad, But im sought of in the middle, Highpoint in one direction and water gardens in the other

Well we all know Highpoint is much better. I only go there for clothes chopping and stuff like that.

Well the biggest indoor shopping complex in the southern hemisphere, its gotta be better

BAH! my small redneak town mall rules u both, k-mart and a arcade (im not kidding that all thats in it)

ROFL
hahahahaha

LMAO!
We have 2 K-marts AL.
