Re: Bad decision to show only 100!!!

I agree with the OP. But I also didnt see the "SHOW ALL" with the warning at the bottom. That works fine. I might even cut back the initial showing to 50 or so now, just for speedier load times if you want to glance at the leaders.
 
Re: Bad decision to show only 100!!!

I'm not going to call you a Jack-wagon because that wouldn't be nice. It's been well recorded the Auto Tracker has been having problems and this was the best solution available until a better fix can be found. If you knew how many countless hours Tom has spent on this perhaps you would be a little kinder in your "yank off the scab" approach.
 
Re: Intrepid Timer's Investment Strategies

I'm not having the freezing issues with the link at the bottom of the 100 count page. Is this the same page that was freezing up my computer or is it different some how? :confused: And I only have 1gb ram...

I guess I spoke too soon. Just tried it again and still had the freeze issue. Oh well...guess I'll have to buy a new computer with LOTS of ram. ;)
 
Re: Bad decision to show only 100!!!

At the bottom of the first 100 there's a small window. type in a number and it will show you the next 100 starting at that number. This was a temporary fix to a very tough problem and it took Tom lots of time and curse words to accomplish (I imagine)

Now I see that there's a link below that window where you can see the whole list at once, with the warning that the file is getting really huge and it may lock up your pc. I tried it today and the whole thing loaded as quick or quicker than it did prior to the problems.

Its easy to get frustrated and jump to conclusions. It takes awhile to learn how to dig around here for info to answer your question before you post a comment, but its worth the effort.
 
Re: Bad decision to show only 100!!!

you might like to read posts about the problems before jumping to any conclusions; such as forming/voicing opinions such as:
decided to only
...
You might also offer the names of the different softwares that are so comprehensive they will not cause problems when the Webmaster is trying to fix sudden-appearing glitches.... like adding just one more newbie tracker to the roll.
I am curious as to the amount you contribute toward the Webmaster's pay - quite obviously it must be bucoos bigger than the rest of us !
 
Re: Bad decision to show only 100!!!

:(When the webmaster decided to only show the top 100 it became almost ridiculous and very frustrating to find my friends and to keep track of their numbers so you can find them, as is now required! This was supposed to be fun and interesting, maybe a bit of a friendly competition among your friends. This is a great site, but is becoming too cumbersome to utilize.

When you click on the show all at the bottom of the top 100, you can't sort by name to scroll down to yours or your friend's ID, why? The list sorts for the top 100 names at this point and you are left wondering still.

The person in charge should really think before implementing such a bad algorithm! Does it hurt anything to show all right up front? Or, do you just want to make more work for your users? Keep making it difficult to use and you will not have a site.

Whuuuuuuttttt????? :blink:

Re: Intrepid Timer's Investment Strategies

I'm satified with it. I know it took a massive amount to work to show the entire list on one page.

Good work Tom. Thanks:D

I agree with you completely. As I stated over the last several days why I wanted the least amount of change to the message board for the new IT service (which I am a paying member of). I normally have my spreadsheets pull off member results each morning which took me 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds. Maybe this is an item in transition but the 100 limitation to view is a setback for me. I hope this improves, but I gave up wishing for positive improvements for the majority of the members of this message board. On the other hand, I know that Tom is working hard to make it right but I think this is going in the wrong direction for the message board in general.

Yes, the one that shows all members on one page was causing problems for several people, including myself, in both IE and FireFox.

If you have FireFox the problem shows up just before record #200. With IE, some are having the screen freeze on them. I had problems with both.

I did some research and the universal recommendation was to break down large data pages into multiple pages when this happens.
 
Re: Intrepid Timer's Investment Strategies

I wonder if the "freezing" is related to PC memory? The page loads fine for me, but once I click on the page anywhere, it freezes.

Do you know how much RAM (memory) you have on your PC?

Of course it looks like it dies in all Firefox browsers, so I don't know what that is.

Thanks

Tom,
I have 2.95 GB of RAM. I can click anywhere on the page and off it goes to the next page as commanded. I normally only highlight the table and paste into a spreadsheet but I tried this afternoon to have it lockup and it did not. The full page worked great and normally, I just have to wait until the entire table loads which can be a few seconds to a minute based on internet traffice. Sorry that I can not help isolate the problem that others are seeing but my computer with 3 GB of RAM works great with IE 7. This page has worked well for me and I use everyday it to feed my excel spreadsheets for my daily routine.
Thanks for trying so hard, Steve
Thanks, Steve

Tom,
The link at the bottom of the page worked great from my IE this afternoon. Really appreciate going the extra mile to make this available.
