I hope the new rules do not cause over regulation. And that wonderous gagging effect known as political correctness does not deal itself out highly. Cheers [Report message to a moderator]

I can answer that

It's a P4 2.4GHz with 800MHz FSB (hyperthreading model, although we can't use the HT just yet for reason's I'll explain) with 1GB RAM (333Mhz DDR, Dual channel), mirrored SATA hard disks (80G/8M cache) using an Adaptec SATA RAID card (which is the reason why we can't use HT, because the Adaptec driver doesnt support the SMP kernel - yet). It compiles the standard 2.4.20 linux kernel and modules in around three minutes, which is not too shabby.

Youngy - we have no intention for Toymods to become 'over-regulated' but we do want a strict standard enforced so that the forums do not become another blackhole of useless information or pointless posts. initially moderation levels may be high but we hope over time an element of self-moderation will come into play as people come to know what we expect. Cool1 - at this stage the post counts will stay the same. Classique71 - the 'link box' you ask for is software dependent. Sam will be upgrading the software with the new server so it may be in that release. [Report message to a moderator]

Yeah although the SATA RAID card is fairly new, plus I'm hoping that sooner or later it becomes supported natively in the kernel.

It's pretty easy to get rid of the post counter in the thread listing, and it'll still be available in the Members list. I'll bring it up at the next board meeting. sam [Report message to a moderator]

Yay! Nice to be able to generate a page in under a second...as opposed to the 46 seconds it got to before! As for the avatars, mine is still there in my profile, is it a case of re-submitting them, or can the moderators just re-authorise them? [Report message to a moderator]

No need to resubmit you avatar, because if you look in your profile, the avatar still exists. It's probably a templating issue, I'll check it out after the actual forum move tommorrow. I'm sure it won't kill you in the meantime rgrds Sam [Report message to a moderator]

Just a small problem I have found, I am not sure if it is just me or others as well, but I am not getting the e-mail from reply to posts. Hence I come back to check the same threads for updates over again. [Report message to a moderator]

Re: Forum Changes - Comments and Questions	Wed, 02 July 2003 01:20

This has been explained in a few different threads. It basically has come down to the way the forum software works. Just go looking around, its in one of the other comments threads. This is bugging me also though, I used to just read all the replies in my e-mail then decided whether or not to reply. Is there any timeframe on when we might be able to get this back?
