site frakked by MySQL

We gave the new code a shot today but had a surprise: Mr russ is too good at what he does, and he pushed MySQL to it's not so impressing limits by doing fierce combos of JOINS and who knows what else.

crapola...
To make a long story short: After trying out the new code on two separate hosts we've concluded MySQL slows down the whole site too much and makes it useless. We either need a new host with a speedy machine (perhaps 1-2 GHz dual or more core would do) running PHP5 and MySQL or we need to do some serious recoding. If you have such a host, let us know, as it would maybe solve our problems.

The sad part with all this is that the code is fine and that it's really a database issue. Russ has, form the start, insisted on us not using MySQL. I have however forced us to stick to it in order to make the ladder software usable on as many systems possible, meaning MySQL is a must.

Even sadder is that the ladder runs flawless on at least 3 separate Ubuntu machines using just apt-get to install everything that's needed, but none of us can host it. If you have a linux machine in your closet you're willing to share with us 24/7 - shout!

So, the updates previously announced won't happen during the 11 - 16:th of July. We need to find a solution to the MySQL problem or a new host.

and the bonanza...
Meanwhile, I can announce some of the new features that we have already finished and that will be available for all of you to enjoy as soon as you save us or Russ degrades his code

Among other things:

- Changed provisional system where only the non-provisional is protected and more so.

- Option to upload a replay when reporting, also allowing all others to download it.

- Option to comment your game and to give your opponent a sportsmanship grade.

- New stats in sidebar

- Ability to contend false game results by removing them and stats keeping track of all that on all sides.

- Sortable game history in profile.
