Most likely you are not editing the correct file. Skins are located in 2 places. The ones used by your site will be under

/Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins

you are probably editing the ones under

/Data/skins

Hope it helps,

Hi,

The App_MasterPages/layout.master file is not used at runtime, it is declared as the master page in the .aspx to prevent desgin time errors. The actual one used at runtime is /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins/[skinname]/layout.master

So editing /App_MasterPages/layout.master does not have any effect because it is not used, you need to edit the one in the skin folder.

The skin folder name corresponds to the skin that you choose in (key icon) Administration Menu > Site Settings

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi,

I'm not personally involved with any mojoportal sites getting 50,000 page views/day, but that doesn't mean they don't exist, very few users ever share any traffic data wth me.

Capacity planning is a difficult and time consuming task to really do it right and arrive at sepcific numbers. I have an article here with links to more information about capacity planning:
http://www.mojoportal.com/capacity-planning.aspx

However, I will say, that I would expect a sufficiently beefy dedicated server with just your mojoPortal site running on it should in my opinion be able to handle that much traffic. As with anything in life, your mileage may vary. Also if you build your own custom features that plug into mojoportal for this project, the performance of your features will matter just as much as the performance of mojoportal.

Hope it helps,

Joe
