Further tweaks regarding the speed for new posts. The delay is mostly related to the email queuing of messages. The old server used a tmpfs/ramdisk for that, I may have to resort to the same for the new one, but would rather not.
Please let me know if the tweaks I made today have made any improvement or not.

I've run it manually. I will try to get it setup back on automatic schedule by end of today.
Please continue to report any problems.
Mike
It's back to fully automated, please report any problems.

Guys,
Here is a current list of "stop" or "ignore" words for our wiki. This list means "even if there is a wiki article matching this name, don't link it in posts". By link, meaning an auto-highlighted word.
For some words, like the ones used below, it can be quite annoying to see them highlighted in so many posts.
If anyone has suggestions for additions to this list, let me know. Please try to keep it to only those that occur far too frequently in posts that the overwhelming majority of users would already know the definition for.
The ignore list is brilliant.
Perhaps 'contract' as synonym for 'lot'.

Updated SSL certificates for all NexusFi related properties, and created script to auto-renew.
Should be no user-facing changes or errors, but please report any problems.

@Big Mike nothing to do with SSL but something to add to your list: in the past, when I clicked "mark forum read" the New Posts could would instantaneously go to 0, as expected.
Now not always does it do that. More often than not, the figure stays as the last new post count until I click on New Posts once more.
It's not high priority but I thought I'd mention it.

Thank you for mentioning, this is a query cache issue and I have excluded this query from the cache as of now. Can you please try again and report back.

Can you tell me exactly where on the site you are marking as read, to make sure I've identified the right query.
