Lovely new graphs in your Tracker!
Well, it didn't take me long to get to grips with the Google Charts system 
So far I've only had time to put together the 3 individual overview graphs on users trackers, but I hope to do the forum charts over the weekend. I already have the basic code ready for the pie graphs.
This should reduce some of the server load (which in turn should reduce errors) as the graphs are not having to be created on the server anymore.
The Google charts are also nicer because you can hover your mouse over [...]

Important! Avatar uploads disabled
It looks like the site has had a major surge in traffic since the documentary has aired in Australia a short while ago!
Looking at the server I can see one of the causes of the overload we just encountered is the way phpBB displays uploaded avatars - it sends them via a PHP file for security reasons, instead of just displaying the image file. This means that a huge amount of scripts are running at the same time & bugs the server out.
As a stopgap, I've disabled the uploading of avatars, in [...]

Put this in your cake hole! Baking with a difference...
Now here's a book I simply must pick up!
Love Bake Nourish: Healthier cakes, bakes and puddings full of fruit and flavour
I received an email this morning from Woman & Home magazine with the following intriguing headline:
Mashed potato in your next bake? It's the secret to a slimmer you
I don't normally read newsletters, but this one caught my eye. We all love cake don't we? So, I thought I'd share (yes, it's a fast day and yes cakes look all the more appealing to me today!)
Here's t [...]
