Messageboard Fixed the top of the page on IE and made it look better When it's a news article, related bands/labels/venues links show up UNDER the first post Added a link to the text only forum on the full forum and the full forum on the text forum Added a better "Video" link button. it shows up on the new thread, post reply, quote, and profiles pages. myspace supported too. Concert Page Made the bands names look better Removed some unneeded returns Added alttext for images so that webcrawlers might pick them up. Changed the bar above the pictures when a band is selected to give more/better info. There is a dropdown on the band name on the concert page. When you mouseover it, you get an informational dropdown. All Pages Removed the skyNET ads after being banned with no reason. Thanks to everyone for supporting the links while they were up. Even through in the end, skyNET took the cash generated and put it into thier growing bottom line. | |
| : | Feb 24,2008 12:00am -inking show threads to the RTTP forum - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| right now, since I broke it, if you are logged in and create a thread for a show (clicking the show listing thread check box) you can then click
"Set Events page: >>" and select the show from the events page. Eventually, you will be able to add/select a show when you make the thread. I just wanted to make a way to do it quickly BEFORE more people complained. | |
| : | Feb 17,2008 12:00am -more small updates - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I fixed a bunch of the state things on the events page and now the text page uses the same thing. it should all be much better now.
now shows added to rttp will show on rttp unless a state is changes to a state that isn't equal to that particulara event. | |
| : | Feb 17,2008 12:00am -Small updates - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) Something I found annoying was that at the top of threads linked to the new events page thinger. It was annoying before to not have all the info
example: http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=47951 2) on the bands, venues, and labels pages, I made the [edit] on events actually link back right. 3) increased the size of the http:// link shrinking from 40 characters to 70 characters. I might increase it to 85 cause I find excessive ...'s annoying. | |
| : | Feb 6,2008 12:00am -Tons of Fixes - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) the events page is the new events page
http://www.returntothepit.com/events.php it's currently listing ALL shows... I need to fix that. 2) the bands' pages are updated and list out all the shows that a band has like the events page http://www.returntothepit.com/band.php?band=death_before_dishonor the bands page is all fix with the whole "no pictures" thing. plus all the links at the top work http://www.returntothepit.com/band.php 3) the venues' pages are updated and list out all the shows that a venue has like the events page http://www.returntothepit.com/venue.php?venue=palladium 4) the discussion board now has decent quotes and not shitty quotes that only person high on roid rage would like. http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=47986 5) the main page is fixed. there were a bunch of issues there with the events listed. 6) I expanded the use of .css in all pages so I can swap them out. getting rid of all the bgcolor='#xxxxxx' 7) some other easter eggs... like a ton of them. there is one awesome one that I think MSD will find first. I really hope so. 8) there are a bunch of parsing fixes to the discussion board that will make MSD happier. f'shizzle. | |

| I had been waiting to upload that.. but it seems like I couldn't wait any longer.
so there, now you only see new england shows on the main page. | |

| yes, the world is a wierd and wonderful place. for some reason it's not just all standard sit there and do nothing pictures. That's right.. video. there is now a way to link in youtube videos cause assholes can't get it right. there you go. click "add video" bang.
I also put in a spam filter thing for the login so that stupid bots will stop posting there. creating fake accounts. | |
| : | Sep 29,2007 12:00am -Band page, the updated - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| http://www.returntothepit.com/band.php
all the things at the top with views/links works. I don't think comments does though. also, bands are now sorted in the "band name, the" fashion. | |
| : | May 21,2007 12:00am -Security and the Events page - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| So many security fixes that I'm not even going to start to tell you. Just leave it at "many hacks, many fixes"
Also, I just put up filters on the events page. Currently, you can filter out between "All Shows", "New England", and "New York City". Right now, if you go to www.nycmetalshows.com it auto-sets your filters to NYC shows only. If you go to www.returntothepit.com it shows you all shows. personally, I'm setting my shows to only NE shows cause that's all I care about. | |
| : | Apr 27,2007 12:00am -NEW SERVER - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) had to change all the TABLE STATUS calls everwhere
2) the newer version of PHP had a different class structure that I had to account for in all files 3) went through watching the error fixing 95% of all the errors. the events and forum pages were the worst... probably a couple 1000 errors per page... damn.. 4) when you search on the discussion body, it will highlight in yellow 5) there are more icons. there are icons shown in the qik reply if you click "show icons". Also added a "more icons" option to the reply and post pages so you can have access to all the icons there too. | |

| : | Apr 15,2007 12:00am -small things - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) changed something on the events page so it's so much smaller (20KB)
2) removed that stupid "size" thing at the bottom of all the pages since it didn't work in FF and was constantly erroring in IE. At this point, the things on my "to-do" list is fucking huge. by "huge" I mean overwhelming. I seriously have a years worth of ideas, features, feature completes, and new things to do. If someone can come up with an easy way to get get a very large grant, I will take time off from work and just devote it to this site. until then.. the list just keeps growing.

| : | Apr 5,2007 12:00am -profiles quick fix - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I guess that the profiles had an issues with bands showing up when they shouldn't in your bands area. fixed that.
Also, the pic comments should be trusted ip filtered. | |
| : | Mar 26,2007 12:00am -Bands that end in a number - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I finally fixed an issues on RTTP since 2001. The issue was with bands that ended in a number and the indexing with my javascript pages. looks like the fix was wicked easy and I could have done it at anytime. I suck. but it works now.
recent examples: http://www.returntothepit.com/concert.php?date=2007-03-24&band=cage_9 http://www.returntothepit.com/concert.php?date=2007-03-24&band=powerman_5000 | |

click on that and then hit the left or right arrows. this go to the next photos. best feature ever | |
| : | Feb 4,2007 12:00am -Yeah for Mod Rewrites! - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I was able to do a little bit of coding on the server. what does that mean? well, picture links used to look like this
http://www.returntothepit.com/media.php?id...2&date=feb022007&pic=guns_up002.jpg now it looks like this: http://www.returntothepit.com/rttppics/323352.jpg | |
| : | Jan 20,2007 12:00am -updates updates updates - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) as reported here you are unable to edit your subjects. well now you can. Also, the edit now says "Thank you" instead of "Thanks you". It's not as many thanks as before, but what can you do, eh?
2) Randomshots when there was more than one venue was broken. it be fixed now. example here 3) as requested by alex here, he wanted to see all the threads made by band members. now you can on the bands page. his bands page: look for "member threads". | |
| : | Jan 17,2007 12:00am -Updates - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| the main page is updated so it will no longer say Dec 31 1967 for the date... oopies on my part. who's the idiot? I'm the idiot.
the events page now using AJAX!!! AJAX rules and if this is successful, I'm going to put it more places. On the events page, when you are logged in, if you start adding/removing shows that you are attending, the page no longer reloads. it just updates the + or - and does everything else behind the scenes. I fixed it so that any "random" site that comes into RTTP will redirect to the main site. if you don't know what i'm talking about.. just search for www.ppp.oddones.org. I think that is it... eh, a few other things, but don't you worry yourself about it. | |
| : | Jan 3,2007 12:00am -"I don't like you" updates - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) the board's UBB was updated so that links and images work better.
2) on the board there is now a "spam" option for anonymous posts that are spam. report valid spam and I'll take a look at them. 3) ignore/unignore features are on the board. they are currently only working in Firefox. not sure why IE is being bitchy. then you ignore someone, their text is collapsed. if you want to see what they said, you have to click the "toggle" right now it's a [t], but I'll put a graphic in at some point. EDIT: works in IE now and some how in safari | |
| : | Oct 30,2006 12:00am -New Main page, tags, labels, and venues - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| so, I re-did the main page. it looks completely different now. most things on it are collapsable and expandable. I've been working a lot on updating the news sections of the site. this just ties it all together and shows the top roughly 10 stories. I say "roughly" cause the news section display gobbles up space that the events section isn't using. say there are only 3 events, the new section should show 17 news articles. if there are 13 events that day, there will only be the latest 10 news stories showing.
http://www.returntothepit.com/main.php also the section that shows the latest "rttp" news loads 3 seconds faster! I rule. I need to update the "<<more RTTP updates>>" part I updated the label.php and venue.php pages. I added news and a submit new on the two. I also made it easier for me to add bands to labels, but that is neither here nor there. http://www.returntothepit.com/label.php http://www.returntothepit.com/venue.php I also added image tags to the mix. Eventually more than just me will be able to add/edit these tags. http://www.returntothepit.com/tag.php I think that is all for now. if you didn't notice from before, I updated somethings with out announcing it to fix some of the posting issues that people where having (like all posts being marked "video" if any post in a thread was edited) | |
| : | Oct 17,2006 12:00am - - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) I updated, cleaned up, and whatever the events page.
http://www.returntothepit.com/events.php go ahead and click on the search button; I dare you! 2) I updated the forum so that there is a different function when you click the "search" button. go ahead, click that button. 3) I updated the venues page, but then it stopped working. i hope that I get it fixed by the time you read this. http://www.returntothepit.com/venue.php 4) bots can no longer post in threads marked "spam" threads. you can't see this, but it's in the back ground. if a bot posts in a thread, I mark is a "spam bot" and then all anonymous posts must go through the spam checking (typing in a random band name). 5) when you type in a post anonymously and it get's caught by the spam filters, it used to crap out on a '. now it doesn't. I think that is it now. i fixed a ton of other things, but they are all background shizzle so don't worry your pretty little head about it. | |
| : | Sep 13,2006 12:00am -Label to Band page - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| http://www.returntothepit.com/label.php
added all the label page info that I had to. linked the band profiles page back to the label's page if there is a label for the band. fixed the label links so that they show and are directable. | |
| : | Aug 29,2006 12:00am -way too many updates - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| 1) the advanced spam filters
2) flagging threads as "spam bot" threads so that threads that gets hit by bots will need authentcation to post in. 3) Special interest flags on the messageboard (also added to text.returntothepit 4) spam filtering on the body on a comment on a bands page 5) venues page template 6) labels page template 7) picture referres table cleaned up. 8) events page was granted a log of changes to an event. 9) bands pagen given a change log. | |

| : | Apr 8,2006 12:00am -More Speed fixes and Such - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| the edit function on the message board was fixed. you can now edit up to 24 hours. the issue was related to speed improvements.

| : | Mar 29,2006 12:00am -Holy updates! speedspeedspeed - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I'm trying to speed the server up more and more. in that, I'm working to get out a few things.
1) the length of names on the messageboard is now a lot smaller. I think it's 65 characters. this allowed me to set them as INDEXES for the USER that started a thread (27K fields), the USER that responds to a thread (27K fields), and the USER from the posting table (400K fields). this sped a TON of queries on the message board tables up by up to 4x. yeah for me. there was a minimal hit in the time it takes to post a thread, but whatever. 2) the events tables is now written differently. there is a separate userevents table where the personal events from the events table are stored. please, test this out and see if it's working correctly. this effects the shows listed on your profile as shows that you are going to attend. this was the test-case for me taking the bands news into it's own indexed table. I was also able to change the HUGE field that stored the info before into a much smaller field. 3) ok, I updated the message board/bands page so that the news is in it's on table and the news field is soooo much smaller. this will cause the bands page and the discussion board to work a lot fast. check it out. Also, there is now very ridged spam and IP blocking going on. I have blocked off something like 1500 known anonymizer proxies as well as every single IP that has been caught posting spam on the site. fuck them. the pictures.php page is now showing the date and post processed pictures again. w00t. | |
| : | Mar 21,2006 12:00am -SQL Fixes and Banning IPs - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| So.. I'm going around and re-writing SQL commands so they are a lot more cachable. now, pictures come up a lot faster.
the top of the page loads a lot faster. http://www.amimetalornot.com loads faster. also, there is now a new way for me to ban ips for spam/abuse. | |
| : | Mar 9,2006 12:00am -lots of server speed updates - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| here are some of the pages:
http://www.returntothepit.com/amimetalornot.php?id=145426 http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php http://www.returntothepit.com/concert.php I updates a lot of the select * with select and then the cols. | |
| : | Jan 23,2006 12:00am -Band.php - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| added a "views" on the top so you can see what bands have the most "views". | |
| : | Jan 23,2006 12:00am -Band.php - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| when people would go to: band.php
it would lock the picturetable AND the bandtable. I set up a caching system so it doesn't do this every single time. only when the bandstable or picturestable is added to OR when the displayname is updated | |
| : | Jan 17,2006 12:00am -a bunch of fixes - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| the part of the board was changed on the back-end so it's much much quicker. I think there has been a lot of hang-time on this one thing.
itunes/RSS/Stream was added to the top of the livestream http://www.returntothepit.com/livestream.php icons for these things were added there and in the menu. some expanded SPAM filtering was added so that I don't get all those spam messages on the band martyr_ad's page. the band link getting for different locations was redone. added an admin section on the profiles pages. now you can click on the "view profile" link and see your profile page like everyone else does. the top of the concert page was re-done for bands. | |
| : | Dec 18,2005 12:00am -CD-page, SPAM, Events page, and forgotten passwords - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| there was a bug on the bands page where anyone who was logged in could submit a link to a band once it was approved. I fixed that so only offical members can add links to a band's page.
Also, I added a few more things to the spam filter. You can now link a show listing thread to the events page. If you are logged in, just enter in and event on the events page, then go "edit" the show and select from the list of show listing threads. Once you do this, it will make a link on the events board to the discussion board. also, if you put a flyer on the events page, it will list this at the top of the discussion thread. USER FORGOTTEN PASSWORD: there was a situation brought up to me. when a person makes more than one account they will only get one e-mail for the first user account if they try to check for their password. well, that was until now. don't go crazy making new accounts or anything please. the CD review add page now has a selector to tell what you want to do.. you'll understand when get to it. Also, you can now add Split-CDs and Various CDs to the CD review page. there is a field that pops up that let's you add all the bands on a comp or split CD. These comps will now show up on the bands page. BECAREFUL WITH THIS it's a little fragile still. | |
| : | Dec 17,2005 12:00am -Upgraded spam filter - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| blocking out more and more things cause the bands comment table keeps getting full of crap. | |
| : | Dec 17,2005 12:00am -Private Messages - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| Users can now look at their sent box. please delete unneeded sent mail from your sent mail box.
you can also forward messages and search. unfortunately, you can't search the sent mail... yet... | |
| : | Dec 11,2005 12:00am -Menubar again again, top of the page and forum - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I changed the numbers for user comments(UCs) and private comments (PMs).
also, if you aren't in a band, then it doesn't say "band" on the side. also, I sped up the display of the message boards after a thread is posted. | |
| : | Dec 6,2005 12:00am -menubar again, fixes, more on the password issue (mozilla), and some counters - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I added a little bit more to the "login/logout" thing.
this is just my way of slowly starting to take over the world. also, I did a little more fixing to the user profiles, fixed a few bugs here and there. with the passwords update issue. I guess some newer users have been locked out. I fixed that. I also fixed the issue with mozilla not working. it works fine now. mozilla users can update thing til their heart's content. lastly, I put a new view count to the iBitch and the bands page. | |
| : | Dec 3,2005 12:00am -the bands page - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| band members can no add links to their band.
they also can add news posts through the bands page for a particular band. So if you are adding a news post to the message board about your band and it will show up also on your band's page. some of the emails that go out to band members was fixed too. | |
| : | Dec 3,2005 12:00am -Updated header to discussion board - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| the headers on the messageboard are different cause loading the board stats on all people's computers was mega slowing things down.
I (and other users) would be happier if you closed the board stats. it also works better for how I use it and since it's all about me, screw you. | |
| : | Dec 3,2005 12:00am -Updated menubar - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| the menu on the side is a little different. I made it a little more compact for easy of use. | |
| : | Nov 7,2005 12:00am - - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| http://www.returntothepit.com/band.php
added a view so you can see bands that have bios/comments/logos/members/etc... I also seeded the random on the top of the page so this dude: http://www.returntothepit.com/amimetalornot.php?id=121737 should be gone from constant rotation. | |
| : | Oct 28,2005 12:00am -new Users Page - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| http://www.returntothepit.com/user.php
I made this page for the future... right now it only shows people's playlists and pictures. this allows you to check out people's profiles in summary for number of playlists and pictures they have. Plus, it's a quicklink to events and webcams. | |
| : | Oct 28,2005 12:00am -locations page - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| http://www.returntothepit.com/location.php
fixed. it seems like it only showed a band once even if they played the venue once. it tries to link directions too... but it doesn't work right. | |

| http://www.returntothepit.com/band.php
if you are in a band, you got a few more options 1) click on all bands and you can (when you are logged in) add yourself to a band. don't worry if anyone lies, I will delete them. 2) if you are logged in, you can add logos to the band's page. (this is still a little hokey, but try a couple times). 3) these show up on your profiles page. 4) you will get an e-mail when someone is added as a member to your band. if you add yourself to the bands page for your band, you will get an e-mail when someone writes a comment on your band (a lot of people miss these like the_network getting a message from steve austin). features to come: approved members editing band information approved members being able to upload an mp3 approved members being able to approve other members approved members being able to approve/add bios if you have any other ideas, hit me up with them. also, if you band's page says: "le Reporte - 25_ta_life [awaiting approval]" on top instead of: "le Reporte - throwing_shrapnel [offical approved]" email me and I'll add your band to the "offical" list of bands. | |
| : | Sep 9,2005 12:00am -A few small things - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| the direction page was not working
it is now. on the band's page, I put the discussion and concert link on the page for concert date. Also, the news articles are hidden when you are clicking on pictures from the band's page. | |

| If you click on "discussion" and then "news" it now works
I added a feature to the bands page that excludes bands. what does this mean? if a band is named "aborted" and you looked at the events part of their bands page, it would show shows for "terminally your aborted ghost". it no longer does that. | |

| added hide/show comments options so that you can view comments right on the page as you are scrolling through (just like the amimetalornot page), but a heck of a lot cleaner. This works through setting cookies. | |
| : | Apr 14,2005 12:00am -Picture Comments Page - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| there is a new page. this page allows you to see all the comments on pictures and to scroll through them all. this is a little better and different of an interface. I normallized the pages
amimetalornot.php pictures.php picturecomments.php so they all use the same code to display picture comments. you can also add comments on the picture comments page. the comment area is bigger too. "more" added to the main "home" page so that you can link to the comments page. comments page added to menubar under "all pics" | |
| : | Apr 14,2005 12:00am -MessageBoard - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I cleaned up things a little.
took out the word "please" flattened it down so it fits better. Also, halved the number of ..... there were cause, let' face it, there were waaaaaaay too many. go through all images and look for ones that are larger than 800w and shrink them. (works only in monzilla) | |
| : | Apr 11,2005 12:00am -a few random fixes - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| fixed the "go to bottom" issue with fire fox on the messageboard.
on the profiles page: when you click "reply" it now drops you to the reply box. fixed the bug if a subject has a ' in it. so ' away, I guess. made the user comments section a little bit cleaner. If you are viewing your own user comments area (AKA PM's), you get more space in between them... also I put in "better" wording for the different options there. on the playlist area, I placed a link to "pop out" your playlist... if you want to do that for some reason. I'm not quite sure why you would want to do this... but go ahead. oh and when you pop-out your own playlist, you can add playlists. randomshots where there are two location is now fixed. IE: two shows both with randomshots on the same day. | |
| : | Mar 31,2005 12:00am -Playlists fixed - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |

| : | Mar 29,2005 12:00am -profiles & locations - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| added subscribed to the profiles page. there is also a bug that people could be subscribed to a forum thread more than once. this means that one person in particular was getting 10+ emails when they would subscribe to a forum.
oopies... it's fixed now. added playlists to the profiles page. now you can put up a playlist of what you are currently listening to. Make sure you put a return after each track/cd. on the bands page, I linked in the CD's in the CD reviews for a "discography" type thing. it finds matches and partial matches. | |
| : | Mar 26,2005 12:00am -stuff - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |

| I made it more explicit on the message board if you are "subscribed" to a thread. you can view all "subscribed" threads AND remove yourself easier. I also put in some verbage to make the "subscribing" stick out more so you don't accidentally click on it instead of "refresh" | |
| : | Jan 11,2005 12:00am -fixed and more - vers.3.5 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I put some work in to fixing all the "notice" errors... hope I didn't mess anything up. this is bringing RTTP into alignment with the way that PHP 5.0x works. before, each page was generating 1000's of errors that were quieted. I hope that is fixed.
if I messed up, tell me. | |

| I fixed is so that \\\\\\\\\ thing that was freaking annoying when people were posting anonymously.
When you post a thread or reply to a post, you can now choose to subscribe to a thread. hopefully this will be used by board "spammers" to reply to threads that they make. for some reason the cd cover upload thing stopped working, but I fixed that. upload cd cover once again. fully fixed the "rotate" thing. so now if you see a picture that need to be rotated, click and tell me. Rotating them is a snap. it's soooo easy. | |

| first, there is a new icon on the pictures page. these are to inform me that there is a picture that is in need of a rotating. I know I mess up every now and again.
Message Board: 1) there is now an arrow that tells you what is bring sorted and in what directions. this solves some confusion. 2) there is now a link to your own threads and posts on the message board. | |

I also updates xxx.bands.rttp.com and xxx.user.rttp.com so that they point things back to www.returntothepit.com let's see how this works. | |

| change the whole back end for cookies. this affects the messageboard mostly and will actually make dial-up users access the site quicker. I combined like 7 possible cookies into one cookie.
added a link to "update" if you click on your own profile. removed the javascript that was used to put the title on the main page.now, the php call is made directly. made it much much easier for me to tie a cdreview to a messageboard thread. because of this, I added an icon that shows a thread as a cd review thread. added a "search" option to the events page. added "current show" and"old show" option to the search board to search through the events table. also added discussion body and subject to the discussion board search. on multiple date on the main page, there was a stray band count. it's been removed. | |

| added "login"/"logout" to the menubar for people that don't use the top part of the site.
also fixed it so cancelled shows don't show up on the main page. on the user-update page, you can now select to email you when you get a Private Message (PM) or not. personally, I find them annoying and I turned that shit off. EMAIL!!! on recieving a Private Message (PM), you can set it up to recieve an e-mail. you cna also subscribe to threads on the messageboard so that you can get an e-mail when people reply (you know, like a "real" message board). the whole interface isn't completed yet, but I'm working on it. the thing left to do it mark watched threads and some other nicities. | |

| : | Aug 10,2004 12:00am -double shows fixed - vers.3.4 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| fixed the concert.php page to work with fest and double show days. I re-did the flash page and the options on top of the concert.php page (adding the flash slide show, kill popups, etc).
I changed the icon for the flash slide show to look more like a "flash" icon. changed the "more" on the main page to actually point to the discussion board and not to where the discussion board used to be. on the pictures.php page, I added a link to the band/date and the date of the show that send the link back to the main page. Also, I put a copyright warning and credit on the pictures.php page so that maybe magazines and bands will ask me to use the pictures. added a "private reply" to the discussion board since my "user comments" seems to have been taken by people to mean PM or "private message" so my note put a link to it on the discussion page. note: you must be logged in and can only pm an actual user. now you can see all the opening splash pages by clicking here: http://www.returntothepit.com/index.php?type=allopenings now you can see all the banner ads that have been on this site by clicking here: http://www.returntothepit.com/order.php?allbanners=1 the bottom of this page: http://www.returntothepit.com/bullshit.php was updated. | |

| soo... since hellfest killed RTTP
I've spent the passed few days re-writing A LOT of things. Also re-configuring the webserver to run better. if you didn't notice, there is a new menu bar. It's a much better on that will allow for a faster load time. A bunch of pages were updated to play nicely with this one. on the main page, I rewrote the concert display to run faster and find the correct discussion board. the bands page pictures wasn't popping up a pictures, that's been fixed. for a concert when you click on a picture, the Query for the pop up went from over 1 sec to .03sec. | |
| : | Jul 22,2004 12:00am -More speed adjustments - vers.3.2 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| max band name set to 45.
if any of you jerks want a band name longer than that.. I'm going to have to smack you. the `band` from the pictures table has now been set as a index value which should speed things up. I'm also looking into: *changing the 255 char length of a venue `location` to 60 since the longest venue name is 60 characters (speed up something I'm sure) *changin the 255 char length of a user name to 30 since the largest is 27 (speed up the discussion boards) | |
| : | Jul 22,2004 12:00am -Major Speed improvements - vers.3.2 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| ok, the site's been slow lately due to the # of pictures in the pictures table and the number of discussion posts in the discussion board.
after a lot of reading, I changed the .35 sec average SQL call time for the main page to print out one concert ot .01 sec same with any of the concert pages. http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=7953 for the forum, the infamous "thread of death" with 400+ rows before: took 6secs to load with no load on the server and 20 secs to load with average load mid-way: made table indexing an int instead of a tinytext 3.6 secs with no load after: no real cahnge from mid-way after set it indexing edit: after removing the user info look up, a print out of the threadof death under no load was around 1 sec. now, when a thread gets over 200 relies, the user info look up goes away to make it load faster. www.returntothepit.com/amimetalornot.php?id=17253 for some reason that picture was removed from the am i metal page. I must have been switching from javascrip to php when that pictures as an example. | |
| : | Jul 20,2004 12:00am -minor fixes. - vers.3.2 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| the last CD reviews on the main page was messed up and was showing the first reviews.
fixed the mailing list script for the Top Ten. it should be able to be sent this week. picture.php/amimetalornot.php no need to update some values so I removed them for now (removed about 3 sql calls) | |
| : | Jul 15,2004 12:00am -I made a ton of updates today - vers.3.2 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| profiles page
*updated discussion link to go from 100-1000's of SQL queries to 11-12. it was one for each post the user made (to get the subject). they are combined now into one slick call. *updated cd-add link to go from 1 SQL call per CD-Added to 1 call for ALL cds added. *updated CD-review link to go from 1 SQL per CD-Reviewed to 1 call for ALL cds reviews *updated picture comments link to go from 1 SQL per picture comment to 1 call for ALL pictures commented on All Pages: *Moved a check from when RTTP was lost in July 2003 for usernames that are no longer valid due to them being lost with that server. Main Page: *removed 5 SQL calls from the main page by using the same method as the profiles page uses for CD covers on the latest reviewed section *removed the separate looks ups on picture comments. another 7 SQL calls replaced by 1. Search Page: *restructured so that the Search thing is on the top of the results page. *cache searched values so that I can do a "top 10 searches" *Turned all the CD-reviews and CD's search into 1 sql command. Was one PER cd found. (this needs to be monitored for time which bad! it takes about 20 seconds for this query to work!) *Removed superfluous sql query on the discussion list for the subject since I already know that info. *replaced 1 SQL query for each picture comment found on the picture comment search. CDREview.php: removed 1 SQL command for all the other CDs by whatever band. also, removed duplicate queries for the CD covers on the most/last section removed some crappy update stuff from index.php, equipment.php, and bullsiht.php allpictures.php: redid the referrals 1 SQL query PER pictures to 1 for all 60 pictures. 76 sql queries down to 12. view.php: *fixed some times where it posts as anonymous when you are logged in. REMOVED FUNCTIONS: lib.php file getPictureInfo(); getCdInfoLink(); getDiscussionBoardInfo(); getCdInfo(); getCdCover() getConcertDescription() getPictureBandName() userLoginUpdate() getCdInfoLink() lookupUser($user); search.php getPicture() allpictures.php: getLinkedPicture() | |

| there was an issue with the main page. for some reason, no dates were coming through. it works now. | |
| : | Jun 11,2004 12:00am -Major speed inprovements with this site - vers.3.2 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| I looked at my site stats and figured out how I could speed up pages based on how many views the pages get. /media.php changed from about 10 SQL calls to 3-5 calls /pictures.php 10 SQL calls to 3-5 calls /top.php this one was a bitch! looks like to initially load this page it made like 15 un-needed SQLs! I removed all that and cleaned up a bunch of others so that it's quicker to load up. /amimetalornot.php 15 SQL calls to 5-10 calls /profiles.php took out about 2 calls here /concert.php I made a 1 SQL change here. once I fix the whole "extra-location" thing, this should speed up a lot. /band.php fixed somethings on this that I don't remember /main.php re-wrote this based on the "extra-location" thing. it was 5-6 SQL calls for EACH concert displayed. I changed it to 1 SQL that contains 3 JIONs. I'm hoping that this doesn't actualy slow things down. /login.php I fixed something here, but foeget what it was /events.php change those 250 SQLs to 10... I also made it so that only 3 pages (the 3 forum pages) load the discussion icons. previously all pages were. current SQL/second is over 35. I'm hoping to get it closer to 20. | |
| : | May 24,2004 12:00am -evil flash added to this site? - vers.3.1 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| that's right... with a couple hours of self-taught flash skillz, I was able to make a dynamic photo slide show.
granted it is still in beta stages, but whatever. I decided to let it out to the world for suggestions. it still needs a lot of work... I'll get to it when I can. things to add: center the picture buffer images make it so the picture doesn't disappear before updating make the buttons look like a real player autostart the playing selectable delay (5 sec default) etc... etc... etc... if you have ideas, voice them here: http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=7474 | |

| : | May 4,2004 12:00am -speed ups. - vers.3.1 - post by the_reverend [link] |
| ok, I took the concert.php page, stream-lined it, tok out a lot of un-needed things and then made it work with data I already had:
before: concert.php 1.6 sec now: concert.php .4 sec before: concert.php?bandname 2.2 sec now: concert.php?bandname .6 sec the performance upgrade is nothing short of amazing. | |

also, I put in some meta tags so that I might be able to have the discussion board update at my work. call me selfish, but at work I always have to hit "refresh" otherwise it 202's from my proxy server at work. I also cleaned up the interface to the banner ads. removed a un-needed database query.

| New Look on the Update, CD-review, and Picture Comment pages.
