The database upgrade is now complete. The forums and the web index now use 
MySQL 4.0 as the database back-end.

The most significant change is a query cache that should make the forum pages 
load a lot quicker. It is also possible to search the forums for all word 
longer than two characters (earlier the limit was four characters), so now you 
can find messages that mention "ice", "bin", "151 rum", etc.

If you experience problems or general weirdness in the forums or the web 
index, please let me know so I can investigate.

More about MySQL can be found on www.mysql.com.

Cheers!
