i am suprised Brinkster have allowed it to get that big.

the main issue with access is that for ever 1 user that visits theforum each time they enter a page all 265 meg has to be put into ram ,which slows the site down but also the webserver. so 2 people on theforum is using 530 meg of ram

that sort of size i would recommend making Compact and repairs dailyand also backing up daily because it is more likly to corrupt at thatsize.

I run an access forum with 110,000 posts and about 265 MB database fileon brinker. It has not run into any major problems so far that aredirectly related to the database size/usage. The amount of active usersgo up to about 50 and the forum still runs fine.

You're right that SQL hosting is more expensive (especially for a large forum), so that's why I'm still in access.

MS SQL has come down in price alot over the past couple years.

MS Access is ok for a small not to big/active site.

20 c0nnections.

it doesn't mean you can have 20 people online it means you can haveonly 20 people connecting to the database at anyone time, and asqueries take microseconds.

you can have more people than 20

but access is a flat file and therefore slows quickly when the size increases. also is likely to corrupt.

who is the host you have found that look ok to you.

I've found out that hosts with SQL are a lot more expensive than MS Access. With MS Access, I can get a Windows host with 1GB, for three times more money, I only get 25MB with the SQL.. Is MS Access really that bad? The forum is NOT very big, and since it's the most popular version, it can't be that bad? What limitations will affect me? What's that "20 connections" stuff? Only 20 members can log on at the same time or something? I've found a good Windows host with MS Access, and wonder if I should avoid it.]]> Thu, 03 Nov 2005 14:21:18 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/getting-a-web-wiz-host-help-appreciated_topic17122_post93241.html#93241 <![CDATA[Getting a Web Wiz host, help appreciated : ooo yes sorry ive put 2 thins...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/getting-a-web-wiz-host-help-appreciated_topic17122_post93237.html#93237 Author: dj air

you should be able ot get it running it maybe the path to the database and required to move the database to get it working.

thius is the only way to check it out.
 
Maybe I'm not understanding the term "silent edits" but with the option to display edits set to no, a moderator can edit a post without being detected.
 
Is that what we're talking about?

Can moderators do silent edits in Web Wiz? Where can I try a demo of Web Wiz with the admin panel and everything? Tried the Lite Version with free hosts, but couldn't make it work with the database and all that.]]> Thu, 03 Nov 2005 06:39:11 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/getting-a-web-wiz-host-help-appreciated_topic17122_post93218.html#93218 <![CDATA[Getting a Web Wiz host, help appreciated : hi, i have not used or seen...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/getting-a-web-wiz-host-help-appreciated_topic17122_post93214.html#93214 Author: dj air

hi,

i have not used or seen punBB

i have seen upsized Access databases that have over 100,000 posts and topics and they have run fine,.

upsized = changed to MS SQL , they run as good as they can and are quite fast

www.trustedtradesmen.com/forum is one i have done and has 51,000 posts

feel free to check the generation times.

im not to sure on the difference between Microsoft SQL server 2000 and 7

i think it maybe just bug fixes or are the same thing just called which you wish to call it.

you can change the colours,images and style sheet very easy usig

- change the images in the image folder
- edit the skin_file.asp
- edit the style sheet

the onlything you can't do is edit them from within the Forum application you have to edit them off site and upload them.

Until now, I've used PunBB in a Unix host. Will Web Wiz run as fast as it, if I have the SQL version? Is Web Wiz latest version fast? I'm switching from Unix and PHP with purpos to use Web Wiz, is it worth it if I use SQL? As I understood it, there are no limitations in a host with Microsoft SQL Server 7.0/2000 database? What's best between 7.0 and 2000? Is it easy to skin Web Wiz with a css stylesheet?
