info on 1000 posts thread

Unlock that sucker. phpBB2 ain't gonna lose that thread. If it does, I'll manually go through the backup again and dig the posts out and reinsert them. :headbang:
 
however, the thread was painfully slow when we approached the 1000th
 
Nope. The smilies parsing function had a bug in it that made it sort the entire smilies table every time it was called, and it's called for each post, so it would sort it 40 times for each page, causing the script to need 9-15 seconds to generate the page. I fixed that bug (see the link to the phpbb.com thread on the 26th page of the 1000 post thread) and now it takes 0.6-1.3 seconds! :headbang:
