Here comes a long awaited update:

Kokonotsuba.. now with!

1. MySQL support
   

   Should make things much, much faster

2. Various bug fixes
   

   Such as the blank loading screen, the threadview mode on the textboards, the replylinks not showing up on replied-to posts. (Confused? We are too)

3. Thread and Catalog cache
   

   Reduces server load and speeds up load time. The downside is that it makes posting a little slower

4. Fixed admin tools!
   

   Believe it or not we didnt have a working ban function for over 5 months.

and much more..

This is all thanks to these 3 amazing people:

Barry - extremely talented PHP master, did the majority of the work.
bobman - made the initial mysql driver - we'd be at step 1 without him.
lolico - helped the other 2 with navigating the jungle we call kokonotsuba.

These changes have been implemented on /b/ so far, and will be pushed to /q/ and *maybe* /f/ by tommorow. Since they are still in beta, please test them. If you find any bugs, please join the IRC or email me about it, if its security related, dont post it to the boards.
