Users Online Box

Caedes is experimenting with a new 'users online' box where, instead of the users being automatically displayed on the left hand navigation bar, you click on a link that takes you to a separate screen.

Initially I found this annoying, as you cannot see immediately who is online. However, Caedes thinks this may help speed the site up, so I guess that would be a price worth paying.

What do people think?

That's a side affect of it not being on the main page. You only get to see the people woho are online AND have looked at the users online box. I forgot that it would do that. =\

Don't worry though. I have a new version of it that's much faster and works correctly. I'll try to get it up soon.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove any doubt.

It's storing the information in a different way, so it has to rebuild the database over the course of a day. It will update every five minutes.

Well I found another bug in it that prevented regular members (without a symbol) from showing up. It's fixed now though.

I don't know if this is related, but today caedes (the site) has been sooo fast. The pages load almost instantly. If this is related, I say keep whatever you did that will keep the speeds up.
