    What's new? (General Chit-Chat Thread)

    I forgot how much "fun" replacing a gas water heater can be. Last one was about 8 years ago. New one had me going back and forth for parts to "upgrade" my plumbing to what the new heater needed. I spent just about as much time driving for/picking up parts as I did putting the thing in. :p

    Forum Feedback AAF is really slow to respond

    I don't know if I would call cookie stuffing malicious code. There have been numerous others that did similar to that in the past. Anyone that has used any blackhat SEO methods aren't that much better. And as for "criminals"... some do. Remember, what he did at the time wasn't that egregious...

    Forum Feedback AAF is really slow to respond

    So, you have CDN distribution points spread throughout the world for delivery? You know, like in the EU for any EU visitors, Canada for Canadian, S. Africa for S. Africa and such? ;) I'm pretty sure that the CF CDN is a tad bit more robust and widespread. Multhomed is great for redundancy, but...

    CF is more than just for DDOS. And it does more than what a router on someones network stack can do. It is also a CDN, which speeds content delivery up since if you are using caching it serves from a local pool to the user. CF gets as "aggressive" as you have the settings set at. That's one of...

    Most Money Spent?

    For about a year I was spending almost $300 on a server that was capable of doing VPS configuration for what amounted to commercial VPS hosting (and hosting some sites for free while they looked for a long term hosting provider). I decided I didn't want to get into that and kept the server for...

    Be sure to check your web server logs. It could be also be as simple as a firewall setting not allowing connection from their IP. I got caught by that recently since MS is also like Amazon and has servers from their IP blocks that they "rent space" on. I did an ASN block due some bot abuse...

    Forum Feedback AAF is really slow to respond

    I have noticed a few periods of really slow interaction also. I forget which day it was but when I checked my internet speed I was getting my 1Gbps down and a loaded latency of 28ms. It was only on this site that I observed the issue. A few hours later it was working fine, so odds are it was...

    Index Now

    And that could be down to a multitude of things, not all of which are on the end of the IndexNow server (which I assume we are talking about Bing). I also have a feeling that they don't return a 500 error for throttling but a 429 (too many requests) if it is due to rate limiting. And remember...

    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...

    Forums that logout your account frequently?

    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...
