Google crawler stealing all the bandwidth traffic..

[DrStiffler]

Well there are still some problems....

When I post a message it goes to neverland and mat take or it may not. Loading is slow, (to much being downloaded to the local machine). If it takes 45 to 180 seconds to down load or longer to ass a message, then what need to be done??

Hmm,
I blocked now all the spiders and on my location the site runs very well.
Please post a few traceroute results, so we can see,where the
bottlenecks are.
Many thanks.
P.S:If you post new pictures, be sure that the picture name is
really new and was not used by another user already,
so name the pics:
my_username_pic01.jpg
my_username_pic02.jpg
etc...

Also it it wise to copy the written text into the windows buffer (Control plus c)
before hitting the Post button,
in case the server times out or does not accept it to have still a copy of it...

On the subject of bandwidth, every post has a tick box labelled:

"Notify me of replies"

and this tick box defaults to the "Yes" flag. Why not set the
software so that either this service is omitted, or it defaults
to the "No" postion, and people have to change it actively to
get it to work?

Paul-R,

if a user does not observe vividly any setting results -
he in general does not know of its existance at all.

It is quite easy and natural to set off
those settings which are _visible_ for a user.

For example, if a user is not getting notifications by default
he will think that SMF developers monkey team
has not yet began to develop the human notification system.

But they began already. Just they are doing it too slow.
According to the Evolution tempo.

This site has got way too slow with all the linked ads. For every page refresh a user makes the main server has to go off and collect all those adds links too as well as building the page. For end users its not a pleasant experience taking time to browse and then be subjected to too many ads in the text.

My solution. Use firefox  and click AddOns. Install Adblock Plus and add the following zap lines to the Adblock filters then the pages here loads clean, fast and no more stupid adverts!

Result squeaky clean page
