Oh, so even a non-stompy user could do that through the usual means (browser)?
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Gus. I'll give that a looksee.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
tommy, yes.

What time of the day is the board typically the busiest?
What I'd like to do (or someone else can if they want) is watch the Unix 'top' command and note the times when the CPU usage gets pegged at 100% (It actually happens a fair amount). Then see how many posts a minute the board's getting at those times. (Of course the test board should not be active during these times.)
Or is there some way of logging when, say, the CPU is at 100% for 30 seconds straight or something? Or just log the CPU usage % for half an hour?
Then at some point in the future when the real board is quiet (but not for a few days at least) we can see how many posts a minute on the test board it takes to peg the CPU.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
tommyrot -- The Unix command 'vmstat' will give you status information (including CPU usage), one line every 5 seconds by default. 'man vmstat' for more details. It'll do what you want.

Stuttering 'Post message' button. My fault; nothing to see here.

Oh goody!
The cool thing about Unix is, if you thing that there should be a certain utility, usually there is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
System activity is already being logged (although maybe not with the degree of granuality you're looking for) via the "sar" command.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Um--
Really small question.
At Home I use Opera on OS9
At Work I use safari on OSX
At work the font in the posting box is the same size as the font on the rest of the page and is verdana
At home the font in the posting box is miniscule and Courier. I am thinking this has more to do with my settings than the boards, but is there anything I can do to make the at home posting situation easier? Right now I view the posting box at 150% and then I can see what I post.

Huh. Yesterday I cut and pasted a few lines from a post into an email and it kept coming up that way and resisting all attempts to change it. I finally had to paste into Word, strip the formatting, reset the font and text size, and then repaste into Outlook. Wherever that Courier came from, it wasn't letting go easily.
