  1. So, what you're saying is your loyalty is for sale? Real commendable.

     

    What if Bill Gates offered to give you 1,000,000 bucks if your sister got hit by a bus? Would you be rooting for the Greyhound to clip her everytime she crossed the street? Oh, but then you would be rooting that she didn't die, just had some broken bones, right? :w00t:

     

    I guess to some people money means everything.

    If BG offered me that cash, I'd root for his sister getting hit by a bus! ;) j/k

  2. Nice hotel.

     

    Just had Sam Wyche pat me on the back and say "Thanks for being here".

     

    Saw Nate Clements & Chuck Lester too.  Team has meetings at 7, then we're off to the bash!

     

    More later, guys.  GO BILLS!

    Did you bump into Chuck in the laundry room scrubbing jocks? :)

  3. every now and then it is easy to forget we are all on the same side and want the same things - a place to chat with other fans and a SB victory.

     

    I'm crossing my fingers that a lot of technical good came out of this and that our maximum capacity is set at a much higher level. I still have a few items to implement/fix, but I'm encouraged so far.

     

    So I extend my apologies to anyone who was slighted earlier in the week. I hope everyone has a nice weekend and we'll see you here on Sunday!

  4. Come out to Starter's Pub just over the mountain from S. Bethlehem on Route 378 in the Giant shopping plaza. Each week, we have a group of 8 or 9 die hards out there to watch the game. We get our own big screen every week and always have a good time. If you're interested in joining us, you're more than welcome.

     

    PM me for details.

     

    GO BILLS!!

    that's where I went every week.... :o

  5. Tried that, but it's frustrating as hell.  Since the Outline always reverts to Page 1 as the default view, it's too much PITA to deal with on very fun long threads.

    well, what gould possibly be solution to a thread that has 895 responses? Show the entire outline every time you read a single message?

     

    That is why threaded views are unworkable past a certain volume of posts. Our old board never really had more than 50 replies to a subject.

     

    So, you are wishing for a solution from the past that really never behaved as you want it now.

  6. A kingdom for threaded views.  Much better than the "ignore" function.

    Sorry, but the growth of the board means the old threaded views cannot return - you can't thread 1000 responses in a reasonable fashion.

     

    Have you tried viewing the board in outline mode? That is on the top right. That is close as we will ever get to threaded views.

  7. 1. Most of the perfomance gains were through some piece of code I installed Monday night.

     

    2. Obviously, an empty dB is going to load faster than a full one. That I always knew, but I considered that a band-aid and not a fix - many boards perform great w/o clearing their dBs. Reviews of the largest IPB boards out there revealed that they didn't need to perform this measure. New archiving features installed in the more recent releases of the board make this easier to perform than in the past. I knew it would help in the 2 queries that are made to the forum index page (that used to take 0.1 secs each), but I decided to go ahead and take every reasonable performance gain I can get. I assume this is a 10% type performance gain and not a 400% gain like I am hoping to achieve.

     

    Tonight we will be down for a short while as I am installing a fresh copy of the board. The upgrade process over the past 5 versions have left errors that I am now seeing. When that is done, I will finish implementing a new way to handle images that should really take a huge load off the server once it is implemented.

  8. Thanks. I did it, but I'm not sure I can see a difference yet. FF is so damn fast already.

     

    What's your favorite add-on?

     

    Mine are the Google toolbar (not that little box, but the toolbar- it was the only thing that was keeping me on IE) and banner blind, which blocks about 75% of all banner ads.  Not sure I'm up for gestures, which allows you to make all sorts of shortcuts with your mouse and associate the shortcut with a command.

    did you exit out of all browser windows?

     

    after I did that it is mind-numbingly fast.
