Members Online List

[tite-wad]

Now how am I supposed to know who's here and who's not? :o

[thewizeard]

Hello Tite-wad, you beat me to it. I was just going to post the same question. There has been a lot of "spring cleaning," I think.

[tite-wad]

:P Well hopefully it's just been lifted for a dusting then.

That's much too important of a feature to remove permanently! :blink:

[N£MO]

Yes i miss it too,hope it is not permanent. :(

[[B][O][T]]

I think The Admins has disabled it to save some queries.

[MetroStars]

It's not the same without the huge list of names...

[ck-uk]

If its benefiel to keep the board running..who cares...good ...if their not striping the board..other things are going to have to go,like sigs and avtrs.

[Bender]

Have a look here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?showtopic=56263), tite-wad. :)

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

How many times have they tryed this and it did not work before?Do not think it is going to help now?

Maybe somebody should bump some old threads of them trying this and they will see.

Hmm, as the saying goes "If at first you don't succeed, try and try and try and try again... :P

I&#39;d rather the sigs be dumped than the user list. <_<

How do we know which mods to PM when we need help if their names aren&#39;t displayed?

You can disable avatars and signatures from here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?act=UserCP&CODE=04).

BOT

[J'Pol]

What do you use the members on line list for ?

I&#39;m just interested because I never look at it. I don&#39;t really see any point.

I agree however that we could lose sigs without too great a problem. However avatars are a must.

[N£MO]

First it was the guestroom,then the members list and now talk of not having sigs too.....why stop there and have members at all? :unsure:

I have to agree.....make us all guest.

[J'Pol]

If it makes the board work, then it&#39;s worth doing.

It&#39;s been going really well today. For the last couple of weeks the board crashed constantly and was slow when you were on.

I like it the way it is just now. It works.

If that question was directed at me JP, I use it as I stated before - to locate a mod if I need assistance.

I also like to be able to see which of my cohorts are here - and where - without having to go on a random hunt through all the rooms.

[[B][O][T]]

No, then it&#39;s time to get some extra server bandwidth and maybe find a more stable server.

I agree, if that&#39;s an option BOT. It may not be.

I would rather we pruned until that could be achieved. No point in having all the bells and whistles if it doesn&#39;t work most of the time.

We do need to see a members list for the reasons you said.What do we do if we need to PM a mod?How do we know who is online or not?

This needs to be addressed.

[MetroStars]

This needs to be addressed.

It really does...........

[J'Pol]

How often do you guys have to PM a mod.

What&#39;s the worst that can happen here. Someone makes an inappropriate post.

Is it possible to make the online list just be "Online Mods" would that do it.

MOD / ADMIN - that seems like a reasonable compromise. Then the chaps that need to speak to an adult can get you.

As far as I know....that&#39;s not possible.

BOT

[tite-wad]

@ JP - I probably PM a mod every other day to request they delete a double(or triple or quadruple)-post that goes in when I reply in a thread. :(

And as I mentioned, the "Search by Member" and "Last Click" options are very useful to me. Perhaps not essential - but convenient nonetheless. ;)

[namzuf9]

Lets see how this one pans out. I&#39;m sure that Jon/VB know what they&#39;re doing.
If the problems are server realated and need donations to subsidise this then I for one would be happy to pass my cash on to help.

[thewizeard]

Of course we could ask for a poll&#33;?&#33; What&#39;s wrong with members seeing who is online. It&#39;s not just about knowing which mod&#39;s are online after all. Tite-wad made that point quite clear I thought. In any case the forum is still not running OK. I have had exactly the same problems this evening as most evenings. The pruning is not working.

I do have to PM either a mod or admin quite alot.If there is no members available list then what is the point in being able to PM anyone in the first place. :huh: :blink:

[balamm]

Here&#39;s a thought....

For those who want to be listed;

In the lounge, create a sign in/ sign out thread. WITH the understanding that any other posts will be deleted. Post your name and your likely location only. Then edit that one post as needed.
Each post will appear with the edited by tag and will show the time and date of that edit. Some may forget to edit themselves out, it&#39;s not a perfect solution, But it&#39;s a solution nonetheless.

[[B][O][T]]

Or better Add all members to Your MSN Messenger, ICQ account or whatever You use :)

Not this one at least&#33;

Haven&#39;t seen a single official post on the topic and I&#39;ve just started reading these unofficial topics, so I&#39;m probably even more in the dark than you on this one.

at least we aint the only ones wondering where it went. :huh:
doesnt bother me that much, but it was just nice to know who was on and were mods were around to clean up. :D

[Bender]

It&#39;s probably taken offline by Paul or VB to look if it helps solving the Too Many Connection problem.
I doubt very much if it will be permanently. :)




@ balamm: Good idea. Maybe you can create a topic in About Our Website for the Mods and Admins too, and close it. (I&#39;m off, by the way)

[namzuf9]

Good idea balamm but I&#39;ve got the feeling that it will just create more unessacary work for you mods. Cant we just not suffer this for a few days guys and see what happens guys?

I didn&#39;t demand that they bring it back... just asked where it went and stated why I missed it. :(

Agreed.

I think it&#39;s the handful of Crybabies http://forums.ffhorizon.com/images/smilies/bawling.gif who feel the need to whine to the Mods about some unimportant post which they think negatively effects their lives in some way.

My reply was not to-wards you, tite-wad.

PM&#39;g a Mod for your stated reason is a good thing. I was referring to a select few members who whine and cry about others posting too often.

Sorry for the confusion. ;)

Yesterday evening the problems returned. Only difference is, I get the rapport faster.

[chalkmongoose]

I KNOW what would take some load off the servers.
Every month, trash the DBs of all the messages. That &#39;ll do it right quick.
I know I don&#39;t read &#39;em, although I do think you should save the sexiest lady thread and the spam post. They&#39;re funny.

Maybe they should begin by trashing yours? :D That would save a loooooot of space? :sorcerer:
Seriously though, I thought the problem is the server, not the data base.

Ah yes... My garbage, or posts as some call... I must say I&#39;d have no issue with that, as much of what I posted is dribble from what&#39;s left of my pot-fogged mind.

Thanks for the tip BOT, everything nice and simple again, loading times much better too. ;) .

[TRshady]

Damn, it really works&#33;

I&#39;ve now stopped showing avatars and signitures and it is instant loading and back to how it should be. That&#39;s maybe whats causing all these problems.

Does the &#39;too many connections&#39; mean exactly that in terms of too many connections to hosting sites and servers for all these images?

I don&#39;t care now anyway, no more avatar&#092;sig for me and I&#39;m all happy. :D

[chalkmongoose]

I would do that, but avatars and sigs are the best parts of some posts, like mine.
