Can't see 'most recent forum content'

[lee]

Since yesterday, I don't find the 'most recent forum content' on the page. (normally below 'SRC Reef ID Quiz' section.

Is that due to my page setup problem or it is already been remove ?

[bubble_gum]

[Vinoth]

Yup its difficult without Most recent threads.

hi....same same for me....I thought I accidentally de-select something I even posted this problem in the Kopi Tiam!

Looks like I am not the only one!

Forum settings changed?

Temporary workaround click on "View New Posts" bar in the My Controls row, top right of screen...

Those features have been removed as it is contributing to the server load.

The forum is growing so fast with so much data that the two queries are causing the database server to slow down as every time a page is reloaded, a query is sent to search the entire database to search for the most recent threads and the most popular threads.

That is the recommended action to take after some investigation was done.

Hopefully, it won't inconvenience you guys too much but I am sure you have noticed the site is much much faster now?

But its really one of the best feature. Easy to check if someone has replied to ur thread or any serious debate/discussion going on.

I really didnt notice any difference in the response time. May be we can remove who is online section. If anyone want to check who is online, they can always visit the main page.

yea... one of the features that I use the most frequently...

i agree with vinoth maybe can remove the quiz also and place it else where like in the forum under quiz just my 2cents

The quiz box doesn't cause a server load because it doesn't 'call' the database.

You can click the view new post to view... as it will be just you that 'asks' for the search function... rather than everyone who will automatically 'ask' for the search EVERYTIME they reload a page.

i second with bro Vinoth......

If you guys want convenience and speed... you can't have the whole cake and eat it too... (although that seems to be the expectations of some people here in SRC and its not about this issue).

You guys should call a vote and decide what should be sacrificed... coz I think a slowdown in the forum would be a bigger inconvenience to the general good than the individual just having to click on a link or two to see some updates on thread changes.

For those who do not explore the many forum features..... there is always "my assistant" which can be use to track certain threads...... do make use of it.

An easy 1-step direct access I found is to :-

1. Go to My Controls & click 'View New Posts'

2. Then in 'IE' go to File, Send, Shortcut to Desktop

Next time for every access to SRC just click this shortcut and it will bring you to all the recent new posts. You don't even have to log in.
