acctually drunk piggies... like mary over there>

thats flippin rad man... woah i think im trippin on lsd woohoo thats so scarry... WTF WAS THAT EEEEEEEK!!!! 

k 

but how easy would it be for you to archive the GA thread (and other similarly huge threads) out of the database before we hit a critical meltdown such as on qmap and qboard?

not that I'm currently worried, I had just been looking back at earlier posts in the GA thread, remarking on how wonderfully bored I am here with no games or mapping or anything besides download the 6555 posts in general abuse as many differant ways as possible. (there are 6556 differant ways, I counted twice to be sure.) 

i archive the database manually now and then, but only like every 6 months. I should come up with an automatic way. 

you're worried that the size is the cause of meltdowns, and so i should save the old posts and then delete them?

While data loss is always a risk, i don't think we're really doing anything so unusual that standard database software can't handle it. 

nt 

exactly. but iirc qmap and qboard both died under the size of their own standard databases. perhaps grab the first 5000 posts of ga, and make an 'archive' section that is just plain html of each 1,000? 

QBoard died under the size of headshot's delete button. 

it's database failed once during it's lifetime, as did qmap's. 

Doesn't exist, but it said there was a new message there...

THE PHANTOM POSTS! 

THE PHANTOM POSTS! 

DOUBLE POSTS! 

And a search + edit please, kthxbye. 

Been trying to login to my account here the last few days... But it just doesn't seem to work, I'm sure my login/pswd are right, but when I enter them, it just reloads the login page... wtf? Anyone had something like that? 

Just a thought. 

Nope, no prob with those afaik... And it doesnt work in both IE and Firefox... 

Check your IE options for something like automatic page forewording or something like that... I know I used to not be able to login via Opera due to some of it's default security settings. Maybe even set up func_qmap to be a trusted site and have low security settings and try that. 

in opera, make sure "referer logging" is allowed. In Norton Internet Safety Blanket or whatever, make sure that "send referer" or "allow referer logging" or something is checked. If you have other software that might block this information from being sent, see if you can find a similar setting in that, too. 

Ah yeah, was norton internet security thingy getting in the way (I had tried disactivating it, but it seems to need to stay off for like 10 minutes before it actually starts working, bleh).
Not on my usual PC, dont have that stupid software on mine. =)
Thanks metl. 

can you tell me the exact wording of the Norton Internet Thingy option and which state it needs to be in? I will add that and the Opera setting to the site FAQ. 

 

No I can't, the options are quite unintuitive (probably doesn't help that it's translated in French, and all my computer knowledge is rather in english).
My solution to the problem was: Turn the whole stupid thing off. =)
Once you've logged in it seems you can turn it back on, and I stay logged in fine (even after rebooting the machine and all, kinda weird).
