new "performance test" accuracy

Installation and Configuration

If that is a bare metal server, you should be around 1500 or so - definitely higher than the 2.8GHz I test with here. Note that the performance test only tests a SINGLE processor. I'm not sure yet how I want to go about handling multiple processors, but I'll figure something out since a quad core server is going to be able to handle more than a single CPU at the same speed.

My Developer Tools skin cloner is not working right

Installation and Configuration

All of this is what the change log is for. I understand your desire to know the small details in what has changed, but the changelog is likely to be as "granular" as we are going to get. It is in plain english as well, so that should be good.

One thing we will check out and see if it makes sense is to have something that will let you "copy" CSS and JS from a skin to your custom skin. That's something we would need to carefully do, as my first priority is to make sure it doesn't overwrite a user's changes.

Thanks!

No - SSD's are not essential, but they are around 100 times faster in random access than a regular spinning disk drive. Since web servers by their nature tend to be lots of small random accesses, SSD's are a fairly big benefit. However I've setup several dedicated servers for customers that are using 2TB disk drives and they are very fast as well, so you should be OK.

Changing the height of the header

I can check this out - it should always show the value of what it actually IS, and then have other pixel sizes to select.

Got it... well hopefully you can get to the bottom of what's going on with your current setup.

I'm working on updates to the performance tool that will break it down by processor, database and filesystem so it will give you a better idea of where the server might be struggling at.

Awesome Paul - and in case you haven't seen Vimeo in the Media Scanner - here's what it looks like:

Jamroom's cache is in the database, so JR is not going to use an HTML drive unless you've symlink'd the jamroom/data/cache directory to your ramdrive - just be very careful you don't run out of space or Jamroom will not function correctly.

Just a recommendation too - the $160 a month Linode plan here:

https://www.linode.com/pricing

with 384G SSD, 8 CPU cores, 16G RAM and 16TB transfer would be an insanely fast platform for Jamroom - seriously. It would be cheaper than what you have now, but would run circles around the performance. Just an FYI. I'm a huge fan of Linode and their platform - I've never been on anything faster for hosting.

Welcome to the new Jamroom.net!

Announcements


Awesome - that's really who it is designed for. We have users that are using Jamroom as the basis for all sorts of things and as the platform for all their sites, so hopefully this makes it easier for a licensing perspective as you just don't have to worry about it

Thanks!

Support Ticket deadlines

Suggestions


I think this would be more applicable to the Issue Tracker - not support tickets, so it's not something we've had a need for in support tickets. What were you think for how it works?

Thanks!

Honestly I think you can enter anything you want there - as far as I know Vimeo is now "validating" the App URL, although it would not hurt to just use your site URL there.

As for logo I've never filled those in and it all works, so you should be able to leave those empty.

Hope this helps!
