Well I don't know about anyone else but I'm sick of all the guests visiting the "MsgPlus! for Messenger 7 - 3.40.110 BETA - Updated!" thread and maxing out the server load...So I was just wondering if there could be a temporary static page that comes up every time someone visits that thread with just the post from Patchou, to reduce the server load getting high

This thread http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?mode...?
If mods wanted it static they would have made it that way . They have, after all, slimmed the thread down by having all replies minimized .

Mods can't make it static...Only someone with FTP access can, I believe...and do you even know what a temporary static page is?

Yes. My point was that the thread has already been somewhat refined, which can be seen by clicking the link i provided.....if "a temporary static page" was as special as you make it out to be, it would have been implemented .

No, it wouldn't have been...look it would reduce server load quite effectively

yea they did it for the handwriting thread, it just links to a 'standard' page taht doesnt perform lots of MYSQL queries and PHP commands, which increase server load

Im just saying the thread has already been altered to i presume specifically reduce server load, while allowing users to post replies.

I dont know the "handwriting" thread, but if you mean it's static, the thread would have to be changed into a page users can't reply to, otherwise even if it has been specifially boiled down to reduce server load it's still dynamic (ie the thread this thread was about).

That's exactly what he means; a static page, not linked to the database of the forum...

But, this was already discussed a week ago: server load limits all the time...

As Cookie pointed out, this has been discussed. I can't make a fully static page for that post because Patchou needs to update it from time to time. I need to code an automatic caching system that generates and updates the cached version every time the post is updated, which isn't exactly easy.

Convince Patchou to make one on the Plus!-server itself so he can change it whenever he wants (maybe with an added link to that thread so people can still react)
