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!!!

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: 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? 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.

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: 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.

The more RAM the better!

See #76. I use Windows Visa. Smooth flow to the end of list.

What's your interest rate with that VISA?:laugh::laugh:

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.

And - because you can't sort the whole list, you can't tell the overall member shift in proportion to G or CSI, for example. The lack of ability to sort the whole list eliminates the use of that function. Please fix.

Thx.

Re: Bad decision to show only 100!!!

are you guys paying attention?
http://www.tsptalk.com/tracker/tsp_user_balance_all_full.php

EWIE has initiated two threads, both the same thing, one says Bad idea, the other Bad Decision - so please check them out. My opinion on why he/she did that is not for this thread...
And please go to the rules, etc, forum on the tracker and READ it, for crying out loud!!!

It is like you've been asleep at the wheel and and when waking up assume the rest of the Board stopped cuz you were spaced out somewhere else - you apparently have no idea what's been going on with this for days !!!

cheers -

...and, amoeba,I am surprised, you too?!?

And here I thought amoeba was evanescent but he's holding at #582 - good for him.

Tom,

I just tried the link at the bottom of the first tracker page from my work computer and it took me right to the full page, no problem.

Actually I do not have a problem seeing the first 100 on the tracker and then having to enter 101 or 201 or 301 or whatever to see the next 100. The tracker is for fun. I can imagine it is a nightmare to maintain.

I would hate to see it disappear but if it becomes too much of a challenge so be it. I bet Tom would be more than happy to turn this over to one of these so called software experts. That's my 2 cents worth.

Thanks for all your work Tom.

With Chrome it works just fine.

Full list link at bottom of AT page worked great this morning. IE7 with 3 GB of RAM is my configuration.

Tom, thanks again for coming up with an option and a solution. Hopefully, we can all take a deep breath and think before we reply too quickly when changes are being implemented (including me too!).
Steve

I'm sure the problem is on my end and I want to add my thanks for a great site.

 

[tsptalk]

Thanks everyone. I will play with a "next" and "previous" button as well. Seems some are interested in seeing that. I do like the "enter starting record" as an option so you can jump to any position on the tracker, but I get the interest in scrolling from page to page.

...And if the full list is working for you.... I'm jealous.

 

[tsptalk]

OK, thanks to crws I think I fixed the full page loading problem. He pointed me to some possible solutions that I never would have figured out on my own.

The full pages are working again, at least for me, and I will make it the default again.

If anyone has any problem with the full page lists, please let me know.

Thanks crws!!

 

[Bquat]

Full page works for me. I just have to scroll and scroll for my name.
IE8

 

[ArchAngel]

Works for Firefox too, thanks!
