Important forum config issue found.
The forum displays have now been fixed, thanks to Motrucker's bug report.
For some unknown reason, each forum was set to ONLY display threads from the last day, sorted by thread title, Ascending (alphabetically). I don't know whether that happened on the initial import, or whether one of the module installations changed it without me noticing, but each forum has been changed to; Show threads from the last 30 days; Sort by last post time; Descending This should be much more akin to the way Xoops displayed forums. PLEASE NOTE that if you posted in the last few days, your post has NOT been deleted, it merely wasn't being displayed properly. It should now be correct. This is one of the main reasons I needed the "bug report page", and I do sincerely appreciate the help in finding these things, as I'm just one guy with failing eyesight and a short attention span.

Re: Important forum config issue found.
Just did some basic digging in AWSTATS for this month and found a couple of interesting things;
Overall visits per day since May 15th are down approximately 1/3 This could seriously be just a "google bot issue" since the forums were only displaying one day's threads. Despite having all the content back except news and links (coming soon) We even have MORE features (by a factor of 2) than before, but the daily bandwidth (data transfer) being used by the site has been cut by half. I don't know whether that's a lighter theme or fewer users, or -- most likely -- a combination of both but where we were once dragging out 1.5 to 2 gigabytes per day, we're now down to about 750 to 900 megabytes. THIS is very helpful but I'm sure it will go back up once the search bots get their footing again. For now, I'm just going to write off that 1/3 as bots. If it's more than that, and people just upset because we're not built for classic Amiga browsers, then frankly as you said, "their loss". /me resists putting the Arcade online (50+ flash games) just to piss them off further.. Wayne

Re: Important forum config issue found.
Glad I could help a little. I think the change over went fairly smooth considering how different it is. I personally really like what this has grown into.
I used to be involved with C-64/128 and Amiga BBSs ages back, so I sort of understand things from Wayne's standpoint too. I can not imagine people jumping ship here over such trivial issues. I agree with the consensus, it's their loss. |
