A site suggestion

[pchang]

It might be helpful to configure the web server on boa.apolyton.net to set the following header for all images:

max-age = some large number - perhaps 2592000 (30 days)

The site should render faster and you should also see a slight drop in your server load.

[Japher]

yeah!

(I have no idea what he just said)

[Nikolai]

Me neither, but I suspect it involves deletion of images older than f.ex. 30 days, in case I am ready to lynch the guy!

SUGGESTION DENIED

[Ming]

Hmmmm... I just see a real question, and four spammers begging for a PCR!

[Nikolai]

You call me a spammer? Honestly Ming, I just stated that if I understand the question right, I'm against it. I fail to see how that's spamming?

[Skanky Burns]

You contributed to the thread having no idea what it was about.

What the suggestion was is for the server to instruct the browser to keep a copy of all images it downloads from Apolyton for 30 days. After that time, the browser would ask the server for a new version. This is as opposed to downloading the same image every time a new thread is opened.

[Nikolai]

I contributed to this thread thinking I knew it, but said clearly I was not sure. I do not look kindly upon being called a spammer, not from you, not from Ming, not from anybody, without it having a good reason! I can not think of anything that piss me off as much as being unfairly treated, is that clear? Now, if I was called a spammer and the accusation was correct, it would be one thing. This, is something completely different.

[Skanky Burns]

I didn't call you a spammer. I was merely stating facts.
