A few changes to the navbar...
Posted Feb 26th, 09:57am by Garner
It hasn't escaped a few of you that the site has been struggling over the past week or so.

An influx in a few sections (noteably UT/UT2004) plus the extreme downtime of the Red Faction master tracker (latest news : try again on Monday according to THQ) has seen a lot more traffic than usual on the site.

So a few 'extras' have been dropped in order to speed things up.

The site poll has been disabled.
Hot Topics, News, Reviews all cut to 5 latest instead of 10.
CDC Project of the Moment disabled.

There are a couple of other things but you wont actually notice because you cant see them

It depends... the new version of the site that's slowly coming through the pipework hasn't got any of the features yet that have been cut/removed from here. So I cant yet say what it'll be like

From Unified 4's point of view, it'll probably remain like this now. This site code wasn't expected to take this number of visitors (the phrase 'wildest dreams' springs to mind ) so isn't dealing so well with the increased traffic. This code is 2 years old back from when we were were getting around 1 million page views every 2 months approx as opposed to the 1 million every 2 weeks or so we're getting now.

Things have to change in order to keep things rolling!

The site statistics button is gone.


Hmm, they trying to hide the real damage?

I really dont like the changes here. It may be nessicary, but it really cuts back on alot of L4Y's features.

(cant wait for the new version of l4y though )

I don't like the 5 post limit in hot topics. It's a pain in the rear having to go through each forum to find the latest stuff. The 10 posts gave you a good quick look on what is going on.

BTW, there are 61 people on line right now. Awesome.

There's been a huge increase in the number of guests using this site all the time...

Why not make everyone register to cut down on the people merely using it for raping files?

Portal Page has always listed all the topics with either new replies or started since your last visit to the site.

The Hot Topics is only needed to see whats changed in the last few minutes.

ferrit - new site requires registration to download already for precisely that reason.

Raping files is an understatement. Each month the fileserver transfers the equivalent all the files available on the site slightly more than 27 times over.

In real figures thats approximately 1.4 - 1.5Tb per month.

Thats gotta come down before the host starts to complain
