Pet Talk Server update

[gini]

I am getting a whiplash because the site is so fast!

Karen, I have a question. I went into the main forum of Pet Talk and it listed that 41 people were on Pet Talk.

However, when you go to Who's Online.......it only listed a total of 28 members and guests. I tried refreshing each to see if they then matched up - but they don't.

This is a question for when you have absolutely nothing else to do!

(like that ever happens).

Gini, at the top, go to user cp, then edit options. See the very first choice? Yours is checked no.

Freckles, thanks, I checked "no" because I didn't want to be "invisible".

However, if I did check yes, does that mean I wouldn't show up anywhere - not even as a guest?

That of course, would account for there being more members online than shows.

I hardly ever go into this area - so I am pretending to be "blonde" for a minute or two

41 members
- 28 names
=13 invisible members
Clear?

Got it!

Why would I want to be invisible on Pet Talk?

However, there are other places in life that it sure would be fun to be a little invisible once in a while.

I have never had any problems with PT, but now it's running faster than ever!! Rock on y'all

My thinking is when I occasionally check in during working hours (really a rare occurance) I don't want people to think I'm flaking off. Actually I'm revealing my own judgemental self here, aren't I.

Rachel, we just think you are on your coffee break, that's all!

I have a question, Karen or Paul. I'm finding that Pet Talk isn't "keeping up" and I'm having to hit refresh a lot. For example, when I delete a PM, many times, it is back on the list. The same thing happens on posts too. Once I hit refresh, it will be there. But I've never had this happen before. Is it me? Or is it something going on with the site?

Logan, I noticed this same thing happening to me since maybe, day before yesterday. This only happens with PT, no other site or message boards.

Also the 'New Post' indicators aren't changing for me anymore. Usually after someone posts and I return to the main page, their name appears as the last poster and the indicator is yellow. Now I have to refresh to see if a new post was made in a category, otherwise it won't change no matter how much I surf through PT.

Logan, I noticed the same exact thing and I had kept thinking it was my computer!

[Toller 42]

That's been happening to me also.

[Logan]

The same thing is still happening, especially when I do an "edit" or anything with the PM section.

Each of you tell me:

A. What operating system you use ( example: Windows XP)

B. What browser you use, including the version number ( example:Internet Explorer verion 6.2)

C. What kind of Internet connection you have

D. When (time of day) this happens

[Logan]

A What operating system you use ( example: Windows XP) - we are on Windows XP

B. What browser you use, including the version number ( example:Internet Explorer verion 6.2) - I just checked and mine is Internet Explorer version 6.0. What I can't tell you is whether the laptop I use for work has the same problem, but I will test it and see.

C. What kind of Internet connection you have-cable modem

D. When (time of day) this happens-no specific time, Karen. Anytime, actually

This has only been happening the last week or so. Sorry I can't be more specific about that. But it has never happened before on this same computer, where nothing has changed.

Hope this helps.
