Just wondering if people out there have crazy numbers and their forum still runs smoothly
erhm it will always run smoothly as long as the theme being used doesn't have too much images...
The physical limit is thousands, and in reality it won't make too many problems if you do have thousands. It might start to be an issue if you keep changing over and over and over because the user specific options get stored per theme, so lots of users with custom options, across lots of themes will slow the themes table down.
The number of images isn't really a problem, most often they get cached anyway.
well you can run thousands if you modify the db, but by default you can run 250 :)
I know as I ran into the limit without knowing about it when i ran smfthemes
I actually thought it was a smallint rather than a tinyint that it actually uses :o
maybe it is now it was 1.1.x line when smftheme started
Nope, 2.0 line still has tinyint column there; they figure no-one really needs that many themes.
yeh not sure why people would want more than 250 themes
