Awesome. I have a question about scalability. MySql with ext2 or ext3 has a 32k folder limit. In older versions, Dolphin creates a picture folder for each unique member who uploads profile photos. If you have more than 32k members with photos, number 33k+ can't upload photos. This sql limit is extended to other folders like music or videos.

Has there been any change in Dolphin's infrastructure which would split the way it stores member data via folders? For example, code looks at the first 2 see more characters of the unique ID and creates a tiered folder structure to distribute the number of overall folders needed in a large membership account environment/site?

I am excited to start working with the RC and hopeful of it being stable enough to about go live. :) (I know, don't do it haha but I may)

good question, and being that you know about the 32k directory limitation, not file limitation, there are a few work arounds for this, or you can build on 64bit and miss it altogether. so most specifically if you are on a shared environment, this can prove tough for you, but if you are on a dedicated machine, then you can do what is needed whichever avenue you choose to take.

Haha, true dat Mr. DosDawg. I suppose if you have a site with over 32k profiles, its time to get a dedicated machine to host your site. I was just curious if the Boonex crew (or external coder) had created a clever directory hierarchy scheme to minimize the folder limit.

I thought about writing something but thought I would ask the community before I invested time in it (I can code but I'm really slow at it). 'Course, I may just upgrade my hosting package and go from there as you suggest.
