In fairness, people like Col. Jack and MattB spend a lot of time helping people on here for little more than a "thank you" in return, so it's pretty out of order getting annoyed with people who freely offer help when asked nicely, imo... Remember, they are doing YOU a favour, not the other way around. I'd suggest not forgetting that...

Perhaps it's not my place to say so, but there you go...

Fair enough, folks. I know it might have sounded stroppy, but explanations very much help... :-D

Thank you!

Still can't get in under my new name, despite it working before. Any ideas...?

After changing my forum name from Fossil Magnet to Rock-Pervert I can't seem to get into the forum at the moment under my new ID. Has worked before, and I've requested a new password a few times now. Nothing happens.

Hi Chief...

I appreciate that you guys are working hard on it, but I can't help but notice that it's once a week now on my forum that some part of the server goes down. Our avatars are still not showing even now (22:35 Tuesday 3rd Nov), and whilst that in and of itself is not a big deal it's just yet another thing that makes our forum look un-professional.

Surely if Lefora has grown so much that this is a recurring problem then something needs to be done to fix it permanently, no? To be honest, even if it's not going to be fixed right away I'd rather know, as I'm sure others would to. It would be a lot easier for me to tell my forum members that it'll be like this for the next few weeks rather than each time make myself look like a complete tit because I tell them you guys are on it and will sort it soon. I honestly can't remember how many times I've told my members it's been fixed (after reading Lefora Admin replies on here), and then it all goes mammary glands up again within a few days...

It's all very well talking about what negative effects only currently affect 5% of Lefora forums, but seeing as our UK forum seems to always be in the effected percentile, my explanations to our members are running pretty thin. And if you'll excuse my language, quite frankly they make me look like a dick.

This is precisely why my responses on here have become ever more fractious lately, because try as I might I feel I end up looking stupid because of things out of my control, and because I take at face value repeated promises that things will soon be fixed and all will be better...

Still waiting... Is anything happening?

05:10pm UK time still no improvement

Nevermind though, eh? Apparently it's all fixed. :-(

Just noticed that a thread was started about avatars being offline for "a couple of hours"...

13+ hours later plus said thread locked I was just wondering why this is still an issue? Our avatars are not showing, and this has been an ongoing problem (on and off) for weeks now, with emphasis on the on and on and on and on part...

FFS!!! Is a solution on the way or shall we just bugger off and take our forum elsewhere...? Seriously.

We just seem to keep being fobbed off with excuses. Personally, I'd rather just have an explanation. We're having serious issues about once a week now, and that's aside from all the usual minor Lefora bugs.

Are things ever gonna get better, or is this basically the pinnacle of what my forum members can expect on Lefora...?

Yours very, very, very annoyed

Gethin

OK, cheers for that Col Jack, I noticed announcements for the favicon system, but never read them as it seemed to be a preview for the Pro version, so I didn't expect it would effect non-paying freeloaders like myself... lol

Any chance Lefora could add a most active "inactive new members" table...? Sorry for taking the piss and all, but hopefully you see my point.

Fair enough, Chief, but how "recent" does it have to be for them to count as "recent"...? [Nevermind the question of what constitutes "active"]

The things is, we've other almost-equally-recent noobz that have been far more active, and up until quite recently they used to feature on the above list. Now they've been replaced with decidedly "inactive" most active noobz...

I understand that there must be cold, hard mathematical algorithms to govern who gets included, but it seems daft to me that inactive members can be described as the most active "anything"... I'm a bit o a maths (and therefore algorithm) fiend myself, but this just seems absurd. No?

I'm confused...
