  • Several optimization has been applied to ASF v2.

  • Thread creation limit is lifted to 30s each, Thread replies limit is lifted to 10s each.
 
September 18, 2023:
  • Experimental feature: We've set up and launched an Image Server for thumbnail and preview images. The Image Server is a specialized form of server designed to automatically resize and convert images in alignment with the client's rendering requirements and capability. Based on the available CPU budget, this feature might be suspended if we are unable to support the required CPU and RAM usage. Currently, we've dedicated 16 cores x 4Ghz / 64GB of RAM to the Image Server, though at our scale, this may be not enough.

  • Search Results Update: Thumbnail images will be only displayed for threads in search results, with the size of these thumbnails set to correspond with the thread view.

  • Preview Thumbnails will be lazyloaded.

  • We have enhanced the Image Proxy timeout logic for better functioning and performance. Additionally, Image Proxy will now cache files up to 10MB. This may be reverted at any time.

    To clarify:

    Image Proxy is the system that fetches the image from a remote origin, stores a copy on the local server, and serves it.

    Image Server is the system that resizes and converts formats based on clients rendering requirements and decoding capability.

  • Experimental Feature: We've made improvements to the Forum Statistics section and the What's New page, which now utilize a new horizontal slider for displaying new threads from the Downloads section. This enhancement allows for an increased number of threads to be displayed simultaneously. Please note that this feature depends significantly on the Image Server.

  • Usergroup Color Update: Specific user groups will now have a distinct color applied to their usernames.
 
September 25, 2023:
  • Experimental Feature: We've introduced the Schedule Posting feature, exclusively available for Contributors. This allows Contributors to schedule threads and posts in advance.

  • Responding to user feedback, we've organized sliders on the What's New page into distinct tabs, reducing clutter and streamlining navigation. Similarly, we've adjusted the Forum Quick Glance to feature sliders akin to those on the What's New page.

  • Bug Fix: We've corrected the issue causing invalid redirection when clicking on empty spaces in the sidebar widgets.

  • Some Usergroup color were changed
