    But it would for hitting their servers too often. Like all providers, they only have so much bandwidth. Once the item is submitted, then their filtering routine (which they love as is apparent with the issue with Hotmail/Live/Outlook mail delivery) will process through those submitted. I have...

    Last I checked, that was what Bing (Microsoft) was using. Now, other IndexNow related search engines...thats up to them. As far back as 2019 they had upped it to 10,000 a day. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/bing-allows-site-owners-to-submit-up-to-10000-urls-per-day/290801/ And this from...

    With (currently) a 10,000 URL a day limit (100 at a time), submitting every 15 minutes. That's 400 an hour (more than most sites get posts of that number in an hour) and around 8800 a day, still under their max URL's. And it should only be hitting for the updated pages. And as for "constant...

    No big surprise. Xenforo just recently implemented it and they probably have not fully tested it out, instead relying on their current license holders to report the bugs and help trouble shoot it for them. Seems that is their current MO. It was one of the reasons I put off so long upgrading...

    Better Off Topic Sections

    That was my point... and also was the point I quit trying to discuss the Aussie's all-encompassing "knowledge" of what was best. She had clearly shown she did not know what the hell she was talking about. Of course, I think last I saw she only had about 5-6 "active" users, and several of those...

    After 45 days of no activity they don't get newsletters sent anyway. And if their emails bounce, the bounce feature in XF disables any further sending of emails, thereby not highly endangering my SES account, other than the abuse vector that was pointed out to the XF developers and they said was...

    Better Off Topic Sections

    I have to laugh at this. I had a certain Aussie try to tell me that it was better to have 100+ topic areas instead of having 15 or so with multiple prefixes in it. I don't know what her thoughts were... and I don't think she did either. Was over on the XF site back when I was not banned from...

    Ayep. That's the philosophy I have on my forums. My primary site has over 300 registered users and only about 3-4 actually participate. I don't worry about it. I have seen admins that send out DM's asking their users to participate more. To me, that is more likely to drive folks away...

    Forums that logout your account frequently?

    Only until I became the IT director for that city. A lot of things changed then. And a lot of employees griped that their screens would be locked after 10 minutes of no activity and they had to sign back in. On the dumb terminals and on the Windows machines. We found a vendor that had...

    For financial ones, it is more a security related issue. There are still people that go into a public library and access their web based accounts on those computers. Some of them even forget to sign out when they walk away.

    Generally you find this happening when someone has used a disposable email address that either has expired or that they don't remember the credentials of. That's the point I was making. If their content was important enough to them, then they should not have any issues with sending in...

    Sarcasm doesn't carry well on the internet. But honestly, if they have lost their email account (or let it get trashed and deleted) or they can't remember their credentials, they can set up a new account. If... and that is a big IF... they can later confirm that their old account is the same...

    Remember the old saying... as it does apply. Time IS money. I have no issues with someone timing out a connection with 30 minutes of no activity. Where this really hits hard also is on those cheap shared hosting plans that only allow XX number of MySQL connections. So yes, whether you like it...

    That should never happen on a correctly set up site. As an example, all my inbound rewrites happen at the CF level even before it gets to my server, so the connectinig people are always SSL and the base domain name. Even prior to setting it up that way, nginx redirected all inbound traffic...

    What addiction is the hardest to quit?

    People will talk about heroin, cocaine, tobacco and multipole other drugs. But honestly, one of the hardest addictions to quite from talking to a few "**** mongering" friends has been sex. It is so easy to find, not expensive and a quick "get off" that they have had a hard time walking away...

    Well, I did not have to pay a "Fee" to transfer my domain from NameSilo to CloudFlare to NameSilo. But I did have to renew the registration for an additional year with CloudFlare, which was coming due soon for them anyway. But the fee I am talking about is the one you have to pay to "buy" your...

    Resource conservation. Remember, Invision used to price their SaaS hosting by number of active user connections (they no longer do this). Xenforo currently uses connected users as part of their metrics for determining what tier you pay for. I'm not sure what Woltlab or vBulletin do for their...

    Where it becomes fun is when someone that has used one of those cheap hosting providers decide they want to move and find out they can't transfer the domain without paying a "special fee" to purchase it from the hosting provider. I have seen that happen a few times.

    I really don't think doing your domain registration and DNS with CloudFlare is a big negative. They don't provide hosting so you are generally going to be looking elsewhere for that. I do agree that doing your hosting, domain registration and DNS with all the same provider is not recommended...

    Not fast enough pipe. I get as fast now from my cable provider. But you want true bi-directional speeds with minimal ping times. Starlink is great for a remote observatory, but not something I would want to run a server off of. And by the time you pay for the "business class" you can usually...
