Forum software upgraded. Friday, July 2, 2021.

I have upgraded us to the latest version of the forum software this morning.  There are some new features that I still need to configure before they are available.  There are also some subtle changes we may notice as we use the software in the days ahead. 

One thing to note is that the forum's search index is being regenerated.  This process takes several hours.  While the index is being regenerated, you will find that keyword searching may not work very well.

Just as an FYI, we are at about 31/100 (31% complete) on the regeneration of the search index and about an hour and a half into the process.   I would guess that we will finish that process somewhere during the early afternoon hours today.

The search index has been regenerated.  Everything should be back to normal now.

On the heels of the software upgrades that have occurred over the past few weeks, today I wrapped up some upgrades to our database engine.  Page loads, especially those involving traffic to things the majority of our members are doing at around the same time (i.e. searching for new posts, loading the index page, loading the most recent threads, etc) generally seem faster to me.

Let me know if you encounter anything odd though.
