Any one else have problems with the Mini-spy not showing up? The full one is working but the mini one has disappeared completely.. sad.gif

yeah we're still testing it as it has been causing some high loads so bear with us smile.gif

Patience is a virtue. Give the devs some time to sort all remaining issues out.

I've been getting some occasional server errors since you enabled the spy.

I haven't even see what the minispy looks like yet, hope you get everything working soon :)

Load times have already increased. Also, "server too busy" :(.

Yeah, getting the 'server too busy' message as well.

I've noticed that the server load is going up very high at times.

I've search without any luck. Any status on the Spy Tab being removed from forums? The tab is still available from the front page but seems disabled for me.

After today's transgressions, you could imagine the rumors floating about, that it will only be available to subscribers.

Any word on this?

Thanks.

Edit. seems the closest thing to it is clicking on the View New Content tab when coming in through the front page.

That's funny. I can use the Spy without even logging into Neowin.

o'rlly

adblock is default. and noscript is set to allow all nw so...

there isnt any whitelist option in adblock from what i see here. it mainly serves as a blacklist so deleting any filers there should affect all sites.

im on my laptop and turning adblock off is not an option for me.

oh well, ill be on Opera later.

Right right the ABP sign > disable on neowin.net.

That will

It would probably be more helpful if the spy tab was still on show when using an adblocker, but gave a reason why it doesn't work when you click on it. It's all well and good for users who know about the spy, as they will whitelist to see it again. But new users in future who sign up and have adblock active won't ever know about the feature and miss out totally.

Just want to thank the devs for implementing the "Go to last post .." link in the Spy. Great addition guys.

Will the minispy auto-refresh like the spy page does?

I'd also like to know this, might be a very good feature.

it always did before. thats the sole purpose of the spy.

it also safe to assume the 'mini-spy' woud just be a smaller version of the original ? lol
