Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Re: server performance

    Just brought up a new application using the ver 9 app server. It's running under always up on a good but standard desktop computer with windows 2003 server on a dsl line. In the last 40 days we had more then 400 logins from about 40 users. Usually only one or two users at a time. No crashes and no complaints about performance from the users. We expect to expand to about 300 users. It�s still a small system but I am happy so far. There is a demo and tutorial of the system on line and if you want the link and password email me and I will send it to you.

      Re: server performance

      I have constant visits and logins from about a dozen users on alphatogo.com and alphadevnet.com, plus I am normally logged in to one or the other all day. No problems unless I have a 'rush' to the site from some announcement, then it tends to slow down a bit.

        Relating to the alphadevnet.com site....perhaps an annoyance to Steve, but I tend to stay on there and this messageboard 24/7....I can think of only 2 times I got "kicked" out and believe both times were due to site maintenance....and this is basically since the site was created.

          Re: server performance

          Actually I have a weird problem on both webites, I've mentioned before. Whenever I make a sale, the WAS kicks the CPU up to 50% about an hour later. AlwaysUP then restarts the WAS automatically after five minutes of that condition. I can't figure it out. It's MY programming causing the issue, specifically my PayPal integration. It happens about an hour after the sale even though there is NO traffic at that time. The CPU just goes from normal to 50% about an hour later. I need to figure it out before Sunday when I put the new SQL version of the AlphaToGo Web Framework up there for sale.

            Mike - I think you are referring to the IADN Forum, not the website. That's not an Alpha Five app, it is a PHP based bulletin board, PHPBB3 I believe. It runs on a normal 'cheap' shared host, not a VPS or dedicated server, not with my other Alpha Five apps.

            Its fun to operate a bulletin board and administer the several attempts a week by spammers to gain access and post porn and other spam.

              yes--the forum which, if I had thought about it, I do remember you used the "out of box" messageboard and not Alpha5....I guess the url confused me as it contains alphadevnet.
