Strain slowing it down.
Every user has a certain number representing their name. Every thread has a number representing it and every post has a number representing it.
Very basically, threads are a collection of posts that match the thread number and shown in order of date posted.
The functionality here is to note down the number of every thread you post in. Then when you load certain pages showing the threads, replace the icon with an icon with a dot for any thread numbers that match the thread numbers that you have posted in.
However, as we have tens of thousands of threads and tens of thousands of users a record would have to be kept for every single user and every single thread and whether they combine. It's not as expensive a query as it sounds but implemented wrongly then it could hurt us server wise in terms of slowing down the site. We'll need to look into it and how best implemented in this version of the software but it is by no means impossible.
Ah, balls to it then. Certainly not a pressing matter.
If we lose tomorrow you might be best trying it I suppose.
Ah right, thanks. That would explain why we've had a few sleepers/rags/second usernamers able to start threads with just a handful of posts.Ric knows the numbers, but they are still in place, and I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm wrong, but we did have an unseen issue when the software changed, that those who joined before the move, were no longer counted as 'new', so a few, and its not many, have sneaked through to be able to start threads without the required amount.
Yep. Obviously it's worse for an away game as at home most of us are there, but I imagine as the forum has grown, home post-match threads are getting just as bad.I tend to agree with this too, the post match threads now are dreadful, you simply can't give a proper opinion any more, as one line (often abusive) replies soon render it pointless, and its impossible to mod properly as it jumps 2 or 3 pages (5 when we lose) before you get a chance to catch up. The post Everton game was the worst I've seen.
2. Can you lock the Yaya thread as it's full of cunts.
I'm tempted to say both :) http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/the-search-facility.319379/OK, I might have missed a thread, or I'm being a tit, but where's the search facility?
Ah, it's been turned off then. Fuck. I wanted to bump the 'can we go unbeaten' thread from September..........!I'm tempted to say both :) http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/the-search-facility.319379/
