  • Avatars?

    For some reason, I'm suddenly not seeing any avatars next to peoples posts. I've checked that I've not turned them off in Options, and looking at someone's profile shows they're still around.

    So, what gives?
    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

      Confirmed. Probably connected to that big Poly slowdown tonight - I guess server is not loading avatars to gain speed.

          several stuff going today:

          1) some cleaning was needed earlier this evening as our mail logs were slowing down the mail server and thus the whole system.

          2) some 200k posts were moved into the archive forums

          3) the last 90 minutes i've been archiving some posts (e.g. moving them off the main post sql table (if you know what i mean)) along with doing some other stuff that periodically raised load on the server

          4) fixed the load limiting features (that havent been full working the last few months) thus causing the disappearance of avatars that you noticed

          5) excluded PLUS members from the load limiting features.

                      Nice.

                      However I couldn't see avatars a few hours ago. Is that not included?

                          Avatars have been on and off for me as well over the past few minutes. They are on again right now.

                          EDIT: And back off.

                            i say: close OT!!!

                            markos, CFC (apolyton's evil twin brother site) updated their vbulletin and now there's a choice, what kind of subscription notification one wants: none, immediate, daily summary, weekly summery.

                            i DO like the thread subscription feature (in fact, i bookmarked it: http://apolyton.net/forums/member2.p...n&daysprune=30 ), but i don't need to be notified for every update. it's enough to reload the "subscribed threads" page now and then . is there a chance that poly will upgrade the vbulletin version too?

                              Funny. Avatars just came back for me in OT, so I headed over here, and now they're gone again.
