Rob, there was nothing that would leak connections there any more than in any of the code.
Are the connections opened, used and closed all in one PHP function?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Opened and closed in one function, used wherever that function is called from.

Wow, such a relief. And thanks to Kristen and Monique for guiding us through this crazy process. It's so helpful to have some real infomation when we're trying to figure out what the hell is wrong. Go you!

Bugs Bunny was also fond of the term imm-BEH-sell (i.e. imbicile).
Just for a celebratory useless post.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Can't say I'm crazy about this idea. Perhaps if the day comes when I am able to monitor resource usage myself, we could try experimenting. But as long as I'm dependent on going through a chain of command to get those numbers, I'd prefer we left well enough alone.
Yeah, especially since the other thing wasn't done. If we WERE to try something like that, we'd want to turn it on or, say, 1 day, and get the numbers for that day. But, I agree, I wouldn't worry about it.

Personally, if the loss of the random quote generator cut our resource usage in half, I'd have no objection to the quotes becoming a thing of the past. It was a nice feature, but I'd much rather we lose something that's essentially an accent than have to make major changes to board setup and people's posting/reading habits.

But it would be good to know. Are we 90 percent sure it was the quote generator? If not, it might be worth going through the chain of command to set up a one day (or less) experiment where we turn it on for a fixed (monitored) period of time, and turn it off again. In my experience it is really good to be able to recreate a problem so you know it's source. I mean if we are planning for the future this may be important.

I am 99.5% sure it was the quote generator.

Yay! Healthy board!
Am Chau is the keeper of the list, Kristen. And I haven't seen her around recently.
I've been doing more lurking and less posting, due to lack of time and stuff. If you want the list, either e-mail me, or I can post it again: bascially, it says "CVS repository; Move search out of beta (though I understand that may not be a sensible move); ENUF filter (MARCIE); an admin only quick edit (!STOMP) that's replaced with the stompy image; Rearchitect code to use XML/XSLT; Shorten long URLs; Tag closer; Ability to label bookmarks; On-board poll ability." There's more-- see above if you want to know about it.

Yes. It was nice, but it's not like most of us don't randomly think of, and/or spout out Buffy and Angel quotes all day, anyhow.
