MZ-NH1 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I dunno if you have tweaked the forum or anything Chris, but loading time it takes me to reply to threads using "Fast Reply" has gone from 1 minute to about 5 seconds!So good!Edit: I think I must have jinxed myself... because to post the 1st reply took about 50 seconds The strange thing is, if you go Send again, after you have already said send, it will load in about 5 seconds, and you will have submitted 2 threads...So it is a little strange it takes 60 secs to post a thread, but if you click send a couple fo seconds after initially pressing it, the page will refresh, and you will have 2 posts :|Hope that is all clear to understand!

MZ-NH1 Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) Mmmm. See the strange thing is, if I go Add Reply, instead of Fast Reply, Add Reply loads in about 10 seconds But Fast Reply takes forever.Maybe we'll have to start going Add Reply from now onOh my gosh!It just happened again!I replied to another forum through Add Reply, and it loaded the reply in 10 seconds..Then I come to do this reply! And it took 2 mins to load!The status bar wasn't moving after a LONG time, so I clicked Add Reply again, and then it went off... and I didn't post 2 topics... so it must not have even loaded my reply Here is a screen shot (Wasn't there an option when you replied to load a picture from your computer?) Like a BROWSE Button?I don't have that anymore... strange.. I have the Browse button on other threads, but not this 1...Well here is the screen shot Screen Shot Edited July 17, 2005 by MZ-NH1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davin Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I dunno if you have tweaked the forum or anything Chris, but loading time it takes me to reply to threads using "Fast Reply" has gone from 1 minute to about 5 seconds!So good!First, let me introduce myself as the alien lifeform Kurisu consults with when the forums are being particularly ornery. Most of the credit is his, I just get dragged in when he's drawing blanks on stuff. (nothing personal, but don't send me any support PMs - I'm the wrong person to ask and they'll get ignored)When we were forced to load the database backup last week, the entire DB was rebuilt from scratch, as well as the DB indexes. This is probably the cause of the speedup that you've been noticing. ...Just nod your head, smile, and pretend that both you and I know what I'm talking about.

bland10000 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) glad you have become a moderator Atrain but I hope that doesn't mean you will tone down your style. Off the top of my head, my three favorites are...(to someone who thought that Sony was behind a conspiracy to delete data on 1st gen. hi-md units) Woaa, I think your riding your hobby-horse a bit hard there...(to a poster offering to trade porn and was banned) Please refrain from offering porn as a medium of exchange, paypal might serve your purpose better on this occasion. Being banned may hurt your credibility also...(to spammers) Do us all a favour, and *&^% off...Again, congrats on becoming a moderator.

Christopher Posted July 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 Too much traffic. Not really sure why they took it out of comission, but something sent some red flags up to the host and they didn't like what was going on. An attack? Maybe, not really sure.

Christopher Posted August 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I just added a Google search to the main Search option within the forums, allowing easier access to search Google, forums.minidisc.org, minidisc.org, and atraclife.com. I believe that it will be a bit more favorable (and perhaps accurate) than the forum's search engine. You can see it here:http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?act=SearchOne question: Once you search within it, is it too blue? Or is the color scheme ok?

MZ-NH1 Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Nah the colour ain't too bad Chris...But it does look a little funny... all blue background, on white text.Don't really know how you could fix it... maybe a lighter blue?

MZ-NH1 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I am pleased that you enjoyed the new MD media pictorials. I will be updating the section accordingly as time permits.←Yeh keep them updated. The quality of the pics are heaps good, and I think because most of the pics have reviews below them, even more people will want to buy the units because they have got 'legit' feedback, compared to a Sony rep, who might not know much about the product.Great work guys!

Christopher Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I added a field to the profile for Microphone Equipment, similar Minidisc and 'phones section so you can list what you own within your profile. To edit this, just go into 'My Controls' and then 'Edit Profile info' on the right.I also got rid of the Google search being integrated into the main search. I will try to restore it soon.
