A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Sure, but we've been talking about other places in terms of what has worked there, and what hasn't, and what we can learn from those places. Hec was talking about reducing numberslutting *here*, so saying "I don't numberslut elsewhere" is irrelevant. Plus, as Nou points out, it wouldn't have been clear to someone not at PF that Deb was discussing PF in the first place.
I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't know deb had her own thread, and I still figured out what she was saying. What I can't figure out is why you're taking this much objection to it. I can understand the original confusion, but this is getting silly. All she was doing was telling a friend that she never numbersluts anywhere, only instead of saying "anywhere", she mentioned where her any is.
Or, to summarize Cindy's post: Let it go, Michele.
900 people have their refresh rates set at 5 minutes.
They are going to be startled.
I can bump it by changing one line of code and running one SQL statement.
What's the rationale behind 7 again? I was just going to go for 10.
I think you should make the default whatever you think is appropriate, ita.
The minimum reload time is now ten minutes.
And in terms of board usage, there have been 206 unique posters this month so far.
Re the refresh thing - I have mine at zero and just check "read new", but I only subscribe to five threads regularly (two more added at the moment, but one coming out until Elena gets back).
I'm stone ignorant about this, but I'm deducing (deducting? defibrillating?) that the more threads you subscribe to, the more useful the auto refresh is?
*cries*
Aw Kristen, don't cry. We're all using read new. We've reset our refreshes to zero. I have my profile set to load 50 posts at a time. I'm going to change it to 75, now. We'll be all right. Any feed back on how much turning off the RQG helped us?
Or, to summarize Cindy's post
If you keep concising me up, you're going to have to get me flowers or candy or summat. :)
Aw Kristen, don't cry.
Actually, I am crying tears of joy right now.
For the reason why, y'all might want to wander over to Board.
Hey ita, is the change in refresh rate supposed to have gone through? It now says that the lower limit is 10 minutes, but the little number in the box is still 5, and I'm still refreshing after 5. (I'll change it manually if necessary, but I'm going to leave it alone for now.)
