Our thinking was that we would call an external program to do the work. We never considered using PHP itself. Now we have something new to think about.

What if each thread had a shared posting all pages of the thread displayed.
The originator of the thread could put conclusions in the shared posting.
For some threads, like "strategic double checks" the shared page could
remind people to reserve the exponents they should work on. For the
benchmark thread, the shared post could give the rules for the thread.

Do you mean something like Thread tools -> Print mode -> view all pages

or a thread level sticky post, in the same way that there are forum level sticky threads?

did you try changing your setting to 97 per page that takes the PARI command thread down to around 27 pages for example. it's because the default is 11 per page I think so anything can take a lot of pages even the ho-pourri thread is around 30 right now I think at forum default. it's only 4 at 97 per page.

Two comments.
1. Use a string to concatenate the factors directly, instead of dumping into an array.
2. Change the main loop condition to while ($i*$i <= $x). EDIT:- However, with this change, you have to add $x also as a factor (if > 1).

This sounds like what I was suggesting.

Some text (post) that is displayed at the top of all pages of a thread that can
be filled in by someone (thread originator) to hold text everyone reading the thread
might want to know.

might want to know and to which the supermods may change the title and context to whatever they feel it's funny, whenever they want, and how many times per day they go to the coffee machine to refill their cup.

Fixed that for you.

That made things a lot simpler!

We have the code live now.

The only broken part right now, that we know of, is that the post count in private messages is "1". We think this is because we do not have the right "trigger" defined for that template.

Lines 4-6 "fix" the untriggered private message issue. We use silly variable names to avoid collision with variable names that may or may not exist. The speed "hit" appears to be negligible.

Please look for any other broken areas of the forum.

Someday, we would like to format the post count like this:

2 * 3³ * 1234

That will require a new approach to our code.

We would also like to substitute "×" for "*". And maybe add commas to parts that are more than three digits.

So:

2 × 3³ × 1,234

For now we are happy with the results.
