No one seems to know why (or care) the avatar update feature is broken! Merry Christmas!

Well, we are 1/2 way towards the adage of the broken clock being correct twice per day.

So really this is a time saver for those needing to add santa hats in December. The work is already done!

Not sure if it is just me or if we are back to slow go mode.

Seems to be working ok from here. Perhaps it's intermittent?

LOOK AT AMIGAWORLD, OZYMANDIAS, AND DESPAIR!

Once again this patchwork of good intentions, tears, ancestral technologies and rubber bands, has slowed down to a crawl.

What, just WHAT will we have to do,
we paying users, to be able to count again on this crack den of love to find relief after a hard day of toiling? (I am speaking of course for you nimrods, MEGA RJ MICAL has long been extracted from the miseries of employment)

YES - you read well, my ghost admin friend whose monocle is almost certainly jumping off as you gander in shock to my assertion of having to disburse money in order to bask in Amigaworld Dot Net. YES, PAYING USERS I say.

Perhaps not in hard currency, not in intangible electronic scamcoins.
AND YET, PAYING.

Paying with loyalty, with trust, with abandon.
With the pain of having to sift through the Trump-like ramblings of that italian goblin from Germany, the peddler of agricultural rims, the iberian pornographer, that other mongoloid who insists on not using translators while trying to praise a long dead architecture, and more.

WHAT!
WHAT WILL WE HAVE TO DO?

FOREVER UPHOLDING THE LEGACY OF AMIGAWORLD,
WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY CREATED FOR US ALL BY DAVID DOYLE,

/MEGA_RJ_MICAL,
ESQUIRE, PHD, KARATE MASTER

@BigD

This behaviour is highly annoying and is the same problem as last time, server was in a deadlock and hardly any tables were ever being unlocked.

It seems someone has found that if you just refresh the frontpage endlessly the server gets bogged down and eventually deadlocked, updating the "who's online" block.

I've put a bit of code there, in an attempt to slow that down a bit.

Let's see if that helps.

sounds like someone distractedly commenting on the Trump administration, "last time" being with that guy Diocletian in the 4th century.

WITH THAT BEING SAID

How about the website is passed on to the hands of A MAINTAINER WHO REALLY CARES, friend Sibbi! Are you - I ask myself - close enough to the terrors of the night who hold Amigaworld in their blood soaked fangs, to propose A NEW MAINTAINERSHIP?

This miserable little thing could probably run on home server anyway.
IT IS NOT THE HARDWARE, IT'S THE CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOULD YOU, OH SIBBI, IF YOU REALLY TRULY LOVE WHAT DAVID DOYLE PASSED ON TO US,
consider drawing a pentagram and summoning the unnamed ones for a chat?

WE SHOULD BE UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friend Sibbi,
we really need the "who is online" back.

I am oh so confident I am not the only one who thrived yes THRIVED on that sweet tension of knowing that BigD was currently hovering over these interweb pages, running to fire an insightful essay aimed at him and then sitting back in anticipation waiting to be entertained by his reply.

(BigD used here just as an example, one of the few possible uses for such a life form)

FRIEND SIBBI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I SUMMON THEE
