I was already planning on putting them on 20 next Monday but I just put them to 50 and will still do the 20 in a few days. I had forgot about the side bar so that will be next. I’m just keeping Breaking and my state.

I seem to remember having to do this a few years ago when there was problems.
Jim, I suppose a lot of people like myself only lurk on the site. I only signed in to add the fact that maybe you should severely limit the things someone who is not logged in can see during election night. Maybe have the default page only load certain information. I imagine there could be several thousand of those type people checking in and we should keep the site clean for members on that night.
I changed my settings as well.
All set.
I’ve always been a bttt, no-text, “Latest Posts/Comments” peruser anyway - - hardly ever look at keywords or the sidebar or the latest articles page, etc. That way I get to see all (or at least most) of the latest thread titles and at the same time see which ones are getting the most responses, ie., drawing the most interest. (For that reason I left that page at 50.)
Thanks for the tips.
For some weird reason, Firefox (15.01) loads FR pages a bit better than IE based browser.
Both, however, are sluggish.
Definitely made a difference.
:)
Took awhile, but I was able to get through the Internet cannot open.....stuff, and finally got it done.
Yes, it is working faster for me now.
Thanks for that Jim. I’m just sittin’ here wipin’ the tears of frustration from my cheeks. It’s all better now. I get to have a cookie and some milk.
Thank you for the suggestions!
“HOME/ABOUT Prayer SCOTUS ProLife BangList.......”
Is there away to diabled the keywords as well.
Thanks.
Done Jim. Thanks!
Thanks, I disabled everything but Breaking News & Front Page News.
I did as suggested and it helped, thanks.
Thanks for the instructions, I have set up my account as you suggested.
Now, I would like to suggest that you make these settings the DEFAULT settings for everyone, since these suggestions will not get out to very many people now.
I suspect that most FReepers would appreciate this action on your part, since it will speed up response times.
Bump for bookmark
This might actually be working! WOO HOO! Thanks!
Cache the banners and sidebars that depend on the DB to text files and update on a configured interval. Give subscribers priority bitrate through rewrite rules redirecting the others to the servers designated for general public access.
I’ve found on debate nights that the following seems to be speedier:
For example, I have just read post 100 and the next choice is:
101-187 (Yeah I had it set on 100 posts...),
or “last”.
Asking it to gather the 101-187 posts takes longer than only asking it for the last post, which of course includes 101-186.
It’s like I’m asking it to gather less info...this make sense?
Self-ping for use at the cabin.
Done and works better.
Helpful, thanks!
