Gator Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Yea, it was disabled to take the load off the servers. It's worth it to avoid the infamous "too busy message". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleni Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 does it make a huge bandwith saving? if it does avoid "server is too busy" message, i prefer to have it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypercube Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Its just part of an effort to control ... and reduce server too busy messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant1832 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Can someone explain how a removing a drop down menu can improve performance?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingle Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 when that menu was made it had to check the database for all the forums, and then check all the relevant permissions for those forums, all that took time and aided the load problems we are getting, so it was removed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant1832 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Thanks tingle...i forgot about hidden forums and stuff that are permission based--so I understand that the menu must be dynamic. I thought it was a static drop down:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
