Good morning.
Is there no way to block masters HITs now?
The ability to block masters HITs was part of a script that
@Kadauchi made for the forum a few years ago. It doesn't work with the new forum version, so it needs to be updated as well. He'll get to it though, but I'm sure he has plenty of other stuff that he's working on too, so we just need to be patient.
.... except for the fact I think people aren't able to export their hits here.
It's just the 'direct to forum' export that's not working. You can still post them any other way (like the BB code export).
I'm pretty sure I changed the max. number of posts shown in a thread to 50 (from 20) when the forum came back, but today I'm only seeing 20 posts per thread but I can't find where I changed it yesterday - I didn't dream that, did I?
Yeah, I had to turn it off for the time being, sorry. Our system load nearly doubled since this update went live and I haven't been able to track down anything specific that might be causing that. It got bad enough that the server started throwing 503 errors at one point yesterday, so I had to disable some addons to lighten some of that load. Since that addon can more than double the amount of data pulled from the database every time a page loads, I would just rather leave it off until I can figure out what's going on. My plan for today though includes looking into some ways to improve server performance by re-tuning some things on the back end, so hopefully that addon won't be disabled for long.
