Hi, all day I've been testing the build changed (I've been adding and deleting links, then pressing build changed), and every single time it just starts building everything. It never just builds the changed links. Why?

Are you sure it's building everything?
If you think about it, for example:

Say you add a site to the bottom of your directory tree.
You would have to rebuild the categories which this category is a part of.

If you add a site to:
Home->Sports->Baseball->Stats

You would have to rebuild all of those above categories.
And on top of that, the New and Cool pages have to be
updated.

Also if a link has any additional HITS from the last build
that link and its category must be built again.

Yes, I just went and deleted one link from a top level category, and it starting building everything again

Before when I tried the "build all", it never went all the way through, it always timed out. Would that affect the "Build Changed"?

Probably... It's still trying to finish the build it started.

You might try to repair tables, that will update all the stats, it won't build the pages, but it will reset all the counters.

Hi, I just did the repair tables, and then edited 1 link, and tried the build changed again. And the same thing happened, it just starting building everything

Have you ever completed one full, successful build?

No, I always get cut off half way through

Hi,

That's the problem then. When a build is completed, it saves the time of the last build. Build Changes then builds everything that was built since the last time. If you never finish, it will always try and rebuild everything.

Cheers,

Alex
