Level 28 Emo Kid

“Lopsided McHaircut”

this could probably be done with a firefox extension, but is there anyway that we could possibly get an interface change in the future for our forums list? nothing terribly special. maybe list the time required for a Log in to see images!, mark whether or not this forum is currently in our active streak, or maybe we could get an indication of who that forum is pwned by.

most of these things could be done by clicking into other areas, but i guess this would make our lives a little easier.

Level 69 Troll

Trying to create drama to drum up the ratings by any means necessary!

Suggested and rejected many times due to the performance hit.

Use Neona’s Streak Marker on http://www.forumwarz.com/spoilers/wiki/Forumwarz_External_Utilities

Also, OP: The person who pwned a thread most recently is listed if you expand details.

Only new suggestion you have is to show the time needed for Log in to see images!

Not necessary, but useful to know what targets you’re aiming for, and how much and why you’re failing.

I don’t understand why the streak information would mean a performance hit, when streaks are calculated on the server anyway. You’re already doing the calculation each time a new forum is pwned, so it’s just a matter of storing and reusing that information efficiently, which may also cut down on recalculation costs. It certainly seems like a solvable problem to me anyway.

Forums are stored in one table. Your streaks, consisting only of forums you pwned (not the whole list), are stored in another table. To display that information means JOINing the two tables EACH AND EVERY time a user loads one of those pages.

Of course, a view with an automatically updated index with does the JOIN would pretty much solve that problem, so I guess Ihave the same question you do now Log in to see images!
