Shorty Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Thanks I've just sent them a message asking about the things I can do, I won't need apt-get if they already have midnight commander, or if 'make' works. The plan sounds nice but their website could be a little more comprehensive. The Knowledge Base has one category, "Email", which is empty Edited September 28, 2011 by Shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 By the way people a good way to help our server, and thus the 503 errors, would be to not fill it with stuff So if you've got an avatar try hosting it elsewhere and linking it. Similarly with attachments. We are working on ways to improve things (and deleting old attachments and threads) but just wanted to let you know how you can help too.

Wesley Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm with Odwin about deleting stuff. It'd be awesome if you just chopped off 95% of the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Don't worry I'm doing that too. Just deleted several hundred threads. Speaking of its just been brought to my attention that deleting a thread automates a PM to the thread poster. Apologies if you've gotten one/lots. Will switch this feature off in the future when doing mass deleting. Edited October 1, 2011 by Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Awesome. Delete anything older than a month. Go on. DO EEEEET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Unique content is really good for your search ranking, so we won't be doing anything quite as drastic as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Anything older than... two months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 What's the obsession with getting so much deleted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 It takes up space, which is causing server strain, which is causing server downtime, which is causing sad faced members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Is anyone else being asked to sign into a website any time you go to a page on the forums? Get taller.com or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It takes up space, which is causing server strain, which is causing server downtime, which is causing sad faced members. I get that, but why are some people interested in deleting everything up to a month ago? It seems a bit extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Some people are extreme. It's the nature of life. I'm certainly not going to delete things a month old, don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Is anyone else being asked to sign into a website any time you go to a page on the forums? Get taller.com or something like that. That's not actually an advert or anything, that's because of the theme you're using pointing to files on a server which is no longer accessible. Thought I had stopped it though... hopefully will have gone now. Edited October 2, 2011 by Shorty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 How old are you Wesley? I'm 23. I have to think about it for a second before I realise that. But I don't suggest you delete anything that's older than 23 years because nothing will get deleted. Although I appreciate you trying to preserve anything I may have had an affect on.

DomJcg Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hum, I'm training to be a teacher and I realise my email is the same as my forum name, can it possibly be changed to DJCG instead to prevent future employers from digging dirt on me?

Sméagol Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Can you put the skype icon image on your own server? It’s not showing up for me, which results in a messed up layout (the avatar & info area is wider than the rest). It never really annoyed me because only a few people have their skype number in their profile, but then again, it’s easily corrected..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 A skype icon appears next to posts? I've never seen that, link/screencap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sméagol Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I’ve added a fake skypename myself, in order to show it directly, but it doesn’t seem to show up (at all in this case), maybe it takes a while, or perhaps it is because it’s a fake name. Anyway, if it works it’ll be clear if it’s just me or something on your end. Edit 00: Hmm, weird. Magnus snuck in a post while I was posting.. But anyway, it also seems display correctly for me, in every case, even the one above. Edit 01: God dammit. I’ll be up all night finding out why it works now but didn’t initially! Edit 02: Although, usually you can blame these kind of things on the cashe. Stupid cashe. Edited October 16, 2011 by Sméagol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Maybe skype's server just went down briefly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sméagol Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 No, I can view the image outside of the forum when it’s missing. Anyway, like I said, must be a cache thing or something. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not, but it’s not a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Bit of a strange one, but is the forum running slow for anyone else? It's fine on my computer but ever since I updated to ios 5 on iPhone, it seems to take ages to type and for posts to load up. All other websites I visit on my phone are fine. Just this one I know there's a smartphone version of the forums but I prefer the normal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ville Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Guys, I have a question about the layout: why does the forum appear on the left side of the screen? I just realised the optimal resolution for my widescreen monitor, and now the forum appears on the left with a huge amount of gray space on the right. If I go to the main page of the news site, however, all of the stuff appears in the middle like it should. What's going on here, some setting I've missed?
