I believe you could not compare this to the other......
It's a case of there was nothig wrong with the original forum till the ads, with saying that, take out the ads and we all would still be there.
It has been amazing the amount of work that has been put into this forum but please dont forget the original idea and the creators!

Heaps wierd to me... Still getting used to it, and now I have less time on the PC than previously, so the timing is not so great, but regardless I think that Brad (and helpers if so apply) has done a great job..
As I said to Brad.. Man, don't ask me the tech stuff.. You build the thing and I will pilot her!! 😀

Jim,
I'll resize you 600x600 gif down to 100x100 and replace the old 50x50 one when I get a chance. Did you follow that?
ie, I'll make your forum pic 100x100 for you. I have to do it from home though, ain't got the software at work.

I would've voted "Cooler than the old one," but it was spelled wrong, and I couldn't say astronomically, 'cos it's too soon to say whether you'll be able to publicise it well enough - I'll get it on as many sites as I can myself.

We have a problem where the site becomes unresponsive between 2230ish EST to approximately 0130 AEST due to the host server being completely blagged by other jobs.
I've sent mail to Steve asking him to try and smooth out the activity, but so far no response. I'll keep trying as the machine's load gets to 70+ (ie, there are 70 potential jobs all waiting in the run queue - this is v. bad = most of the time a decent box will have a load average less than one and a fully soaked box will have a load average of 1.0. It's okay to go more for short times as users don't notice this, but a load average 70+ over 15+ minutes is just flogging a dead horse).

When the load average in the top right hand corner goes above 2ish for any length of time, it means the box is overloaded. There are some additional counters that indicate extremely heavy disk activity - like 15 MB/s disk reads a second - which is close to the theoretical maximum of modern disk drives.
Normal site activity when this stuff is happening is just impossible. It finishes about 8.30 AM their time (about 1.30 AM our time), but it's nearly our peak usage. So it's bad... :-(
The thing is that it should be fixable. I just need to understand what's actually running the machine into the ground, and offering Steve (the admin) some performance tuning advice if he needs it.
