*bump* after bugging bfarber more and i think josh is working on ipb 3.1 hooks so get on it :P.

you lot need to install nexus, it's ticketing system had weighting :P.

i think for an extra fee you can get business support service which give you 24/7 web/phone support.

no0ne wants encoded source tho, its seriously alienates you from the product.

maybe but i've never in my entire programming life had a page that runs 75 db queries (cept for db updating scripts/cronjobs, but speaking pages accesible by webserver). The thought of having that many just gives me chills and would keep me up at night. to put that into context if you website had about 100 users online all running 75 queries each = 7500, i think for any webserver thats quite a few. Might not bring it down but enough to make you worry. (oh ipb has summit like 600 online atm).

just a note that facebook's live chat feature is based on comet so if your still looking into comet you might find that interesting.

just looked at this and you seem right, looking at the queries it seems to run this query again and again: SELECT * FROM ibf_skin_cache WHERE cache_set_id=1 AND cache_value_1='skin_1' looks like some of the code needs to be refactored as it seems to be caught in a loop somewhere. 75 queries is alot on any server even if they are cached. It should probably be looked into.

exactly!

makes sense.

it kinda makes sense i'm not sure if this is a feature at the moment but would be cool to have a feature where if a post/topic is reported it is automatically hidden etc. Another thing i was thinking about was that if a topic/post were to drop below a certain amount on reputation points it could go through a similar process.

indeed ;).

nexus was great and the ticketing system was probably one of the best i've used/seen even though it was in its infancy. From a corporate point of view i can see that supporting something link nexus which is a new product line not an extension to an existing one would be very very resource intensive. Remember at the moment they have ipb3, blog/gallery/downloads upgrades, ip.content, ip.chat all bubbling and site updates like resources going on.

i'm not for removing any of the options as i like having what we have now your idea is valid though and i agree with bfarber a new icon would make it more confusing it. maybe link the topic icon on the left? its a bit of an awkward one.

no it would totally break the way the system works involving login credentials. I can see your dilema though but can't see an easy way of solving unless ips change their system to sell off individual licences under one account.

yea your a graphics site, alot of people know about resolution and up theirs, i myself never use 1024 on any of my monitors but according to stats off the big sites include w3c alot of people still using 1024, don't think its time to ditch it yet, maybe not for a while either.
