In all other V-bulletin boards I frequent, once a poster has posted in a thread, the thread status icon next to the thread title in each forum has a checkmark in it. Why doesn’t that feature work here? Surely that little checkmark can’t put that much strain on the servers. Can it?
IIRC they had tried activating this feature once and it caused the servers to crash. I don’t remember the details offhand, but I’m sure someone else will be along with more info.
You recall correctly. When the servers DIDN’T crash, board speed was about as fast as a glacier. Yes, it’s possible for this board to be slower.
It’s a feature that we’d like to impliment, however, we figure the tradeoff isn’t worth it.
