[logicquests]

I was at a freinds place and couldnt even connect to the site for about 20 minutes.

It has been a fairly frequent thing lately.

Hey guys,

Yeah we have been seeing the server needs to be rebooted everyday due to running out of memory. We have just ordered double the RAM for the server and will be upgraded on Friday at midday.

Cheers,
Miniriders

been noticing the site lagging every couple of hours.. sometime have to wait nearly a minute for a refresh or page to load..

my browser just sits there telling its waiting for www.miniriders.com. once it loads its usually good for a couple of hours..

Hey Sean01,

Thanks for the input. There is a plugin that is causing the site to slow down, we are working with the company that created it to see if they can fix it, if not we will just have to disable it.

Sorry for the inconvience.

Regards,
MiniRiders

The survey is driving me insane.

I have filled it in a few times in the hope it would leave me alone for a while.

The more I fill it in, the more it seems to want me to participate.

The answers I give are becoming more and more negativeas my daily experience on MR is becoming rather annoying due to this survey.

I am sure there must be a way to log when a member has participated in the survey and then ensure they are not asked to participate for at least another week or two.

Just venting and letting you know the results of the survey will be becoming less and less accurate as more people get annoyed with it interrupting them.

i'll second that

you dont need and wont get my opinions you shouldl know them anyway

 

[grnman]

i dont know if some of the tags on thread work properly. one of my threads i have created has 'ktm' as a tag and when i search for it in the search bar it doesnt show up.

not sure if im correct in saying this but on most forums i have been on 3 letter words are too short to search..

like you said ktm brings up nothing but ktm85 puts your thread at the top..

Getting some wierd errors atm, not sure if its just me or everyone?

For some reason whenever there is a new post it doesnt go last in the thread but rather slots in afore a previous one. Heres a piccy of the error, this is in the "Miniriders Evolution" thread but its happeneing in every one as well.

That screenshot was taken just then and see how Bully's post is last on the page?? Possibly the date on his screwing it up?

We have just been trying to address the time/date issues on the site.

Because a lot of posts are in the US date format they have technically been posted in Nov. Threads show oldest to newest posts. This is why some are mixed up.

Trying to work on getting the other posts sorted now.

Chatbox has mysteriously stopped working.....

That's because you banned!! hahahaha

Will only fool us once!! :aetsch:

 

[sean01]

not sure if anyone else has this problem, but in chat where it tells you the active members it shows users that aren't even logged in to MR.

iv cleared browser history, cookies and cache while logged out and in of MR, but still no good.
this problem happened the last day it site was having issues..

iv come to the conclusion that its definitely a server side issue as i get this problem in both firefox and IE and even on a different computer..

It's not just chatbox, it's the actual user count of the site as well. You will be surprised just how many guest's are on but that's still not correct.

Think this is just one of those things. Don't know what we can really do but I will take a look.

 

[logicquests]

Probably be scolded for even mentioning this, but....

I struggle with the sites use of the American dictionary. I really do.

In Australia we are taught a particular version of the queens english (no, I dont mean Priscilla) and it is undermining my confidence in the education I was offered by the private school system.

I am finding myself needing to check and double check some of my posts using a dictionary. I really dont have the time to do this.

Is there any chance we could run the dictionary component of the site based on location? This would seem fair and reasonable. I cant imagine it would be very difficult either.

Just a thought.

Just a thought not thought about for long enough..... :boom:

Your dictionary settings come from your computer, not the forum.

So in fact your computer is using the American Dictionary by default rather than the AUS one.

It's impossible to choose what dictionary to use based on location without spending 100's of hours redesigning code.

I can't find any settings at all in Vbulletin to do anything with dictionary.

 

[logicquests]

I have been chastised. I have taken it on the chin.

I have tried to change my settings but it seems to have made no change.

If you have a spare 100 hr's, I would really appreciate your efforts MM.

I will even give you reps and encourage others to do the same.
