Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18654 (March 24th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #17040 (September 30th 2023) (x86 only)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

It almost feels like someone is trying to prevent me from making any progress. As my coding productivity has been dire over the last few weeks :(

The Russians just influenced an election in US to help someone win the Presidency... They have a lot of free time now and maybe they don't like WACUP.

Oooh conspiracy theories...  /me goes to check site country analytics...

They do show up so maybe you're right but then that'd be too obvious imho and it's more likely related to the connection from Mongolia or Panama that I'd have to go with ;)

Does seem a bit snappier than it has past few days.  I have a SMF forum myself and it seems to work fairly quick and doesn't use much memory.. around 5 mb with what I have installed. Wordpress uses 25-35mb of PHP memory.

The typical low resources of SMF is what made me want to go with it. It seems mainly like bad timing on migrating & the issues the host then had.

However some of the slowness was my fault from rushing to get things moved over (related to cache settings in the install and via cloudflare). So now I've got that sorted & the hosting seems stable the feel of things is more like before (is just a pain I didn't have page timings enabled to do a like for like - again due to rushing things).

Thanks for the confirmation that things seem better now.

As things *touch wood* are ok now (forum is fast enough, not seen any obvious outages and the error logs are ok) I'm going to un-stick this thread.

Also based on a request I've now enabled the means to have attachments on PMs which can be helpful with sending in crash reports / files without making them public.

I've done a bit of tweaking over the last 2 days (which led to some oddity in the look of the forum) which seems to be helping with reducing the average page load speeds though there's still some odd long delays (at least for me) so that might just have to be put up with. Hopefully that'll be the last of my tinkering on things relating to the forum.
