We're a Little Too Clever For Our Own Good

If the caching doesn't do enough to resolve things, some of the stuff in the right column of the home page could go. I do use some of them, such as last 10 posts and top stories. But I would rather see more news items on the front page if possible. The scroll off way too soon these days.

On another (related?) topic, any progress toward a mobile version of the forums? Or at least a way to click on the comments link and see a mobile-formatted version of what's already posted, if not the ability post additional comments.

Just wondering. We love you and all you do!

Guys (and gals) - just because you don't use stuff doesn't mean others don't. Lots of this stuff came in as suggestions from users, well, except the ads.

Let's see what Jason and his guru's can do with caching and static areas before removing things. BTW, if I had to guess, Jason is already thinking with this cache/static sections how he can put even more on the front page. :lol:

Just as a frame of reference, it wasn't that long ago that I would set AvantGo to synch my PPC Thoughts channel once or twice a day, and I was always sure to have all the freshest content. It is a tremendous tribute to Jason that he gets so much new stuff posted (and generates enough discussion) that we're talking about refreshing every few minutes.

You've always been my hero, Jason! And, I have absolutely no complaints with the way you run the site. Keep up the great work!

Well, it's kind of nice to have a problem of over-popularity. I only just noticed these thoughts about the server problems. I have been having a bunch of problems getting through to PPC thoughts recently - with lots of error messages etc. Hopefully we will be back to firing on all cylinders with not much functionally loss. I REALLY like the new look and the things you can do. I hope the caching will sort things out one and for all (until PPCthoughts grows again :wink: ).
