No, it was a good idea. I just wasn't able to do it properly with the old Apache setup (which was somewhat broken). I also converted some tables to InnoDB as recommended at your link. Most of the suggestions there involved disabling useful features, though, which I'm not going to do.
InnoDB has lots of tuning options that can dramatically impact performance, especially the buffer pool size, but you probably already know that. Still getting a LOT of 502 errors here.
Randomly interspersed with working pages?

I think there is an improvement, but it might just some kind of placebo effect since I knew changes were being made!
There were a few minutes of down time. Maybe some people left. Wait until another peek time.
Theymos, do you have any say bandwidth stats that show when the forums are the most heavily used?
I know they all weren't good or usable, but something like the icons the way it explained it seemed like it could be super helpful.
There were some slow spots but things have picked up. Hope my suggestions URL I posted didn't cause too many problems, doesn't sound like the avatar function helped that much.
You may want to consider some nginx tuning as well if you haven't already tried.

Thanks for the tip.
Site had a bad gateway for a second but it's even faster now.

Seems to be working quite quickly now compared to before, definite improvement in speed, nice one.
Seems to work. Thanks
Works fine (so far), thank you very much for upgrading.
Can we expect the forum to lag less in high traffic peaks now?

yes nginx, uses a different way of handling each connection then apache so the performance should be better

OK, it's done. There were more complications than I expected. Tell me if you see any problems.
Words are hard.
there might be a long period of downtime while I get it working.
Is this now completed, or will there be further adjustments [edit: affecting site availability] made?
...explain why I don't see any avatars in threads?
Avatars are temporarily disabled.

Did the downtime occur yet, and does that explain why I don't see any avatars in threads?
Now watch Avalon Batch 2 being sold right during that time. 
Thanks.
In a few hours I'm going to switch to nginx from Apache, so there might be a long period of downtime while I get it working.
