Hey @IB Nolan pictures look great, thanks!

But now Google seems to be reporting slow page loads at Miataturbo.net. What's the deal?

 

so much better.

 

Nolan, just saved a forum
Put a gun against his head, fixed the forum, so its not dead
Nolan, dev team's life had just begun
But now you've gone and thrown it all away
NOLAN!!!!!!!, ooh, totally meant to make you cry
Fuzzy pictures won't be back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if clubroadster doesn't really matter

 

What is Jeff?

 

whats funny is i was in the middle of working on a script to defeat when it was suddenly working, and i kept checking my code to figure out how i could have accidentally fixed it.

 

Gosh this place is funny. Poscat for you.

 

Don't we have any SJWs in here to post in utter outrage about how sexist it is to not have fuzzy images and how the patriarchy oppressed @IB Nolan to remove the feature?

 

It's good now, no more fuzziness. Thanks!

I think it's time to leave my modem unplugged overnight to see if it resets, otherwise I need to call Comcast and have them reset whatever they do. Also, I may have been streaming a movie last time I checked for fuzzy pictures. DUH!

 

I held out because I wanted to like the forum features... but turning off autoscroll and related threads made the page load 100x faster.

related threads was dumb though.

 

Related threads helps bump page view and some other backend statistics. They were mostly things that non-members actively used and viewed. From what I have been told over the long run the majority of page views come from non-members and such. So being able to monetize them is important to staying open. As to why non members think those features are good overall among a large quantity of sites boggles my mind. But it can be hard to argue with actual data.

 

Anyone else getting database error?

 

Yes. For the last hour or two.

 

Glad it wasn't only me.

 

Nolan accidentally flipped a switch 2 days early. DB errors were not supposed to start until tomorrow evening.

 

 

Still getting occasional DB errors.

Is giving an error and forcing a refresh the newest idea for boosting metrics?

 

DB errors out the wazoo.

 

@Robb M.

 

 

Part of Nolan's plan is that the.DB errors don't show up in New Relic. So admins have no idea. That Nolan guy is a pretty clever fella.
