    Solved More spam tags to remove

    Cleaned house a little (there are hundreds more, but removing them is a pain). Also revoked tagging ability from users that have not yet cleared the 10 posts && 10 days membership hurdle. All of these tags are made by hit and run spammers whose accounts and posts are removed on sight; it...

    Colorize your BSD shell

    May I remind all that the topic is how to colorize your shell, for those who like that and want to receive tips on how to do it best/alternatively. I am sure there are detractors to the whole idea of colorizing text, let alone shell text, but it should not derail this topic that aims to be...

    Solved An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.

    The error was related to a database dump locking tables for about two minutes, pushing the maximum allowed connections (caused by visitors waiting for their pages) to over the set limit, causing the aforementioned error. The table locking has been removed from the database dump, and the overall...

    Solved An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.

    That tracks with a spike in db connections I see in the monitoring we have set up in the meantime. I will increase the amount of allowed parallel connections from the default.

    Misconfigured Trending Content?

    Funnily enough, I came to the opposite conclusion, where a Like is a stronger 'emotion' than a simple 'Thanks'.

    Misconfigured Trending Content?

    It's only based on recent activity, and it has a half-life. Below are the installed defaults, it could easily be 14/7, 10/5, or 7/3.

    Misconfigured Trending Content?

    Oh wait, got it, a Like is +1, a Thanks is +1. That's how it was set up loooong ago. So 1 Like => Score +1 => +20 points. Ditto for Thanks.

    Misconfigured Trending Content?

    Might as well ask here, what do you consider a good weighting system? Forget the Vote lines, we hardly ever do surveys here, but as you can see, replies count the hardest, views have been disabled (too much influence from old topics ranking high in search engines - but no metric for engagement...

    Misconfigured Trending Content?

    Killed the Views metric (set to 0 points per view instead of 1) and the Trending Content disappeared. I'm sure it reappears when other metrics (like replies, reactions) start to amass. Edit: oh, it's back, must have been a recalibration thing going on.

    Misconfigured Trending Content?

    Given the information on https://xenforo.com/community/threads/trending-content.220649/ I have to assume that this widget is operating on a very small body of data (i.e. data generated since the new forum started up), which means something as simple as a popular google search leading to an old...
