Could you let us know if we know what the biggest issue is here? Is the server just overtaxed, or does it need more memory, more bandwidth, etc? We'd love to know at what stage of the investigation-implementation axis the issues are...

If I knew, I'd have put it right...

Is there someone on "the team" who can do a load analysis of the server?

It seems like there are no problems on nights or weekends...maybe you just need more anytime minutes.

When it comes to this sort of thing, "the team", unfortunately, is me. If I had some kind of techie wonder helping me out, I think it might have occured to me to ask him before this point. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

What's an anytime minute?

What's an anytime minute?

He is refering to cellular phone commercials (at least commercials here in the states) which advertise "anytime minutes" (basically a one rate plan that allows you to talk whenever and not just on week nights or weekends).

Ah, OK. We have the same thing, but call it something different.

well of the few mindless posters here, I like to second the avatars and sigs are good. It helps give a quick overlook of who posted and such.

as for the who is online.... okay it is neat, but not really overly useful, if one need to talk in person directly to someone schedule a time and meet up in a chat room IMHO.

I appreciate all the work that is going on. I just want to add my vote for Search - that ought to be the first feature re-introduced. I also love email notices.

Those were the two things I missed most when they were removed on the old Eric Noah boards.

I have my Control Panel page bookmarked, and go to my subscribed threads from there; beats that drop-down navigation panel for me.

Otherwise, I can't complain. I run these fora when most people sleep, it seems, so perormance i rarely a problem for me.

Keep up the good fight!

You sir, obviously do not post in fight club where its not just neat to know whos online but its extremely useful.

Is there anyway to turn the feature on in only one part of the forums while leaving it off in others?

 

[WizarDru]

No offense, but is this a site dedicated to 3E, or to Fight Club? I'm sure it's a great feature so you can challenge someone in real time through a message board never actually designed to do that...but for the most part it's a 'nice to have', don't you think?

 

[Piratecat]

Wizardru, it's dedicated to Fight Club. I thought that was obvious, duh. Seriously, Wicht has a point and is allowed ot have an opinion; it is incredibly useful to them. Unfortunately, it's all or nothing. For the moment, it'll have to be nothing. Let's hope a computer guru will figure out the problem!
