Flashing PM Don't Work?
I just notice today when I get a new PM, the flashing envelop "things" in the top right screen is gone!

It may have been disabled due to technical issues over the weekend

Re: Flashing PM Don't Work?
Yes this has been disabled to save server resources. I'm sure no one wants Webforumz to get any slower no matter how nice the feature may be!  |

Yep, or at least until we can get a better, fully dedicated server!

Re: Flashing PM Don't Work?
Could we not just enable it for staff? Apparently staff are not noticing that have PMs.

Re: Flashing PM Don't Work?
As soon as anyone clicks to a new page the pop up box drops onto the screen with a notice that a new PM has come in.
So that will have to do for now.

Re: Flashing PM Don't Work?
Shouldn't AJAX be...Bandwidth Friendly?

This technology uses asynchronous data transfer (HTTP requests) conducted between the browser and the web server, allowing web pages to request little information from the server instead of whole pages.

Ajax does use very small amounts of bandwidth but you have to think of this in terms of how big Webforumz is. Let's say there are 50 users online, this means that every x seconds (probably 2 or 3) there will be another request sent to the server. This request will be sent even if the user wanders away from the computer with the page open.
Webforumz is usually busier than this so that really adds up over time with so many requests hitting the server even after a user has loaded a page. It is more a server load factor than a bandwidth factor. |
