'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Yowsa! That's one table-breaker, ain't it?
I'll have to look at it at home, where I've got better html editing/analysis tools. I might not get to it for a couple of days (I'm in the middle of a big fundraising project with my radio station). I'm sure it can wait until then, but if someone else wants to take a crack, feel free.
There's an unclosed size tag in post 5039 of Firefly.
Ok, nevermind. It's been fixed.
Oh hey, I just though of something about bandwidth -- someone recently posted that they had Message Centre set on one-minute refresh.
If we have a lot of people doing that, the bandwidth will be inflated.
I was wondering about that -- are there things we could do to reduce our bandwidth usage? I mean, tell me not to click refresh a zillion times a minute, and I'll...try really hard. If it'll help.
Well, I think a one-minute refresh on the message center rather than just clicking "read new" when you're in front of the computer is a bit much, bandwidth-wise. I think a minute of clicking refresh madly and then going away is in the end far more conservationist!
So maybe we shouldn't let people set their own refresh rate? Just set it at 5 minutes or something for everyone? Or something?
Or set the minimum at 5.
See, this is when I start thinking I might have a problem. Because I think, "HOW COULD ANYONE WAIT MORE THAN 5 MINUTES?!? THERE MIGHT BE NEW POSTS!!"
And then I get a grip and attempt to get a life.
I've got mine set at three. Workable compromise, or is that still too much?
So, hitting 'read new' is easier on bandwidth than setting it to automatically refresh?
