[blue]============================================

Hi MQ,

Try using a different broswer.

Thanks,

Jackson

Let's stop trying to tell Jackson the join date doesn't impact our security and he should bring it back. It isn't going to work. No need to ask why. He isn't going to tell us. Jackson has a perspective much wider and has forgot more about this than we will ever know.

So from the point of view of LE getting your information from here legally it can't & won't be done by this site.

As far as LE getting the information ilegally from the site & using it against you in a court of law I doubt is obtainable, as first they would have to prove & establish that you & the screen name poster are one in the same. Second, as the server is in Germany where this activity is legall & it's owned by a South American corporation & having obtained the information ilegally I doubt it would be or could enter as admissible evidence.

Though I could see how LE could use it to harass you if they can associate you with a specific poster.

I am not a lawyer & if you are having issues with LE then I would suggest you consult a lawyer.

Have fun stay safe

I am not having LE problems. I was just pointing out that if there are concerns about privacy and privacy regarding LE, it is not the "join date" that I'd be concerned about. When we join we provide other information that could be used by LE IF LE were to obtain it LEGALLY.

"Join date violates privacy? Really?

We have received multiple assurances at the high powered fire wall of penetration into the inner files of USASG to prevent LE from using them against individual mongers (still got fingers crossed on this) , so wouldn't this cover the issue of join date? \"

It was nice to be able to use this tidbit of information to help gauge how long and how active a user is in the forum. I suspect that this information removal was done for "privacy" concerns for the members, but it would be nice to get a statement from the Administrator and/or Jackson. If this is the case, I wonder how many members complained about this information being displayed.

A couple things I've noticed also that I would propose slight tweaking:

1) As misfit noted a couple months ago, the BW_SHARE module (apache module I assume) that is implemented, presumably to mitigate abuse of bandwidth by bots and scripts is, in my opinion, a little too harsh. Perhaps the settings on this can be tweaked a little to allow for a little bit faster / more frequent HTTP Requests. I've noticed it kicking in when browsing through the photo gallery. I understand the need for this type of bandwidth mitigation module on a website, however in my opinion its current settings are a little too much of a hammer. I think halving the settings would be a good start.

2) Allowable search frequency maximum is once per minute. Again, I understand this is a necessary evil to mitigate against abuse of the DB and webserver resources. But, presumably abuse is again most often by scripts / bots. And they will execute searches and query attempts on the order of multiple per second. By making a constraint any more than one search per 15 or 20 seconds. I think you are not doing anything but aggravating users. I think a little too big of a hammer is used in this case. Perhaps this can be tweaked? Perhaps allowing a search once per 15 or 20 seconds?

Humble suggestions. Thanks

The only stats that are in the Member Profile right now is number of posts. This is what I use to find out who is a Senior member & who is a Newbie. Please Jackson fix the problem so we can see all the info that was provided to us before. Join Date, # of posts, member status.

I click on a link about every 10 sec. When I go fast. Sometimes it takes me longer. But I still get a time out by the server, shit is annoying.

Just wanted to let you know, with the new server upgrade Version 4. 1.4

I no longer experience the problem I posted a few months ago. Thanks dude.

Not certain why yours looks like that, just logged into that page and my view is fine. Using Firefox. Maybe something in your settings for the computer. I'm using a 17" laptop.
