Info - new posts

[Marmora Man]

I no longer see the details of new threads against the different sectors - ie Lounge, East Dulwich etc. I used to see this update and decide whether to open and have a look see or not. I also used it to control number of unread threads and thus reduce loading time.

Have I done something - or has the system done something?

I've missed them too!

I'm afraid they were taken off as it causes a high load on the server where this website lives. It runs on a shared server and the other websites that it shares with were being affected so we got told off and had to find ways to reduce the load. The "show the number of threads" feature has to count all the unread posts for each section for each person then show the number and as there's about 2,000 people a day on the site it's quite intensive. We're looking at upgrading the software soon so that feature will come back or we have to move the site to a dedicated server which is about ?900 a year.

So it's something we had to do temporarily to stop the site being taken down, sorry you miss it but we hope to have it back.

Thanks for info

Ditto. Would it help if you deleted the Song Game and Word Association threads?!!! :)

Maybe not the whole thread just earlier postings perhaps.
