Spring cleaning...

[jakunen]

Noticed that my 'new posts' searches where getting a little longer than usual:badputer: so decided to just have a quick look at my subscribed threads bit on the User CP.

8 pages... 25 listed per page...200 threads:smiley-fa ...delete, delete, delete, delete:type4: ...search time .01 seconds. Thats better.

I wonder how many of us are unwittingly clogging the system this way?

:biggthump :You_Rock_

Might be a good time for people to think about archiving any important PMs too or deleting unwanted ones ...

i didnt know i was subscribing to all those threads ...................

thanks for pointing that out jakunen

maybe it would be an idea to set the default to "do not subscribe" and users can change it if they want to ?

The default for "Automatic Thread Subscription Mode" for new members is do not subscribe.

If you were a member before we changed over to the new board system then I think it it got turned on by default when the user accounts were all moved over..... it was with my account ;-) New accounts on this system should be fine.

What's an Odie? :?:

 

[jakunen]

Never seen a Garfield cartoon?:smiley-fa

Its otherwise known as a 'whack-bonk'. When Odie did something 'smart' Garfiled would whack him on the back of his head so his head went bonk on the table...

I never saw Garfield, no :?: Didn't have a TV until I was 16
