Posted October 28, 200618 yr Post view number display updating will not be immediate from today. That means you are going to see new thread with 0 views, yes zero. It's not an error, it's by design. The number will not update immediately but sometime afterwards. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j313/predicta/BuzzJack/zeroviewsg.jpg The reason for this briefly is that updating the views immediately takes processing power, that means in busy situations the site gives an error like this. SQL error: Too many connections SQL error code: Date: Tuesday 24th of October 2006 06:38:26 PM This process is being started today so we can handle any peaks which occasionally occur on Sunday. And the all important question, will it affect the OF league tables. No, that will be exactly the same as before. :D This situation arises because apparently on a busy Sunday we can get 440,000 hits to the site! I'm not sure how reliable that info is, but it says in the logs. However we get at times 20 views per seconds and if they all update immedaitely the database that the view counters are stored in all get overloaded, causing a backlog, which them causes the site to start refusing members from viewing the site.
October 28, 200618 yr Oh that's a shame. :( I always thought it was pretty useful knowing when people have looked at a topic.

You still can David it's just not instant sorry lol but i dont understand what you mean ricky :P No, well concentrate a little Josh ;) I'd put up a piccy now maybe that will make sense? lol Yeah, I always like to look at the post views too. But if it's better for the forum, that's okay. ^_^ Thanks for your support Teresa. :D Hopefully we will see a reduction of those connection error messages. all the views will be added after a few hours :D I'm hoping for minutes, but will see how it works out. B)
October 29, 200618 yr That's a shame, but there's no point in having up to the second site views visible if we can't get into the threads to read them! Thanks for finding this solution.
October 29, 200618 yr Author Do you think it's been a success? Have you encountered any errors or slowdowns today?
October 29, 200618 yr Do you think it's been a success? Have you encountered any errors or slowdowns today? The site has been perfect for me while I've been on it :D And no hiccups at all when we broke our users online record ^_^ So yes, a complete success :D
October 29, 200618 yr Do you think it's been a success? Have you encountered any errors or slowdowns today? It seems to have worked ^_^
October 29, 200618 yr Author It seems to have worked ^_^ Cautious of you Jester. :unsure: Are we having another Family Fortunes anytime soon so we can really test it?
October 29, 200618 yr Cautious of you Jester. :unsure: Are we having another Family Fortunes anytime soon so we can really test it? :lol: Youre cautious of me? :arrr:
October 29, 200618 yr Are we having another Family Fortunes anytime soon so we can really test it? If the interest is there, yes.
October 29, 200618 yr Author :lol: Youre cautious of me? :arrr: :wacko: Your statement that it 'seemed' to have worked, seemed cautious to me. :P If we don't have a Family Fortunes perhaps we could all get together and wildly refresh a topic as much as possible for a few minutes and see what happens. That could be fun, perhaps? :lol:
