Additional features :)
Hi all,
Well I'm still working on the new recipes section and it is coming along well although not as quickly as I'd like.
Tonight I've decided to add a few new features, two of which I have now finished setting up and the third of which I am about to do!

- News Page (link along the top bar) - this will display the latest topics from the 'read first' forum in a blog/news style layout. I'm hoping to find a way to hide/remove the forum itself to free up a bit of space on the home page.

Wow! A day of records :)
Looks like news of 5:2 is spreading like wildfire!
Monday is always the busiest day at the forum and yesterday was no exception. We had an amazing 120+ new registrations between 9pm Sunday and 9pm Monday night (thanks to Dom for his continued stats on this!) and beat our previous 'most users ever online' by 31 users. The record now stands at 230 users online at the same time. Amazing!

'Resource Limit Reached' errors - sorry!
Sorry to everyone who has been experiencing the 'Resource Limit Reached' errors recently. It looks as though the site is outgrowing its hosting quite rapidly.
If you receive these errors, please do not keep refreshing the page as this won't help matters! Just wait a minute before trying again and this should allow the server to free up some memory/CPU to cope. It only seems to be an issue at the busiest times on the forums. Unfortunately, more and more times of day are becoming busy.

More about the errors...
Looks like part of what is responsible for the errors is the way phpbb displays users avatars via a script instead of just loading up the image file. I've got loads of work on today so can't look into any addons which change this but meanwhile I've disabled avatar display for guests, to reduce server load. I may also try reducing the number of posts displayed per topic page as a stop gap while looking into server upgrades.
I shall also look at adding an avatar gallery took give users a selectio [...]

Tracker Adjustments
In further bid to reduce load on the server I've made some further changes to the tracker. It shouldn't look any different though 
The pie charts on filtered results are now generated by just one script as one large image, much like the charts on your main tracker page now are. This should reduce server load a bit when multiple users are using the tracker filter as each page load will now have 7 less scripts running and less image-generating processes.
Let's hope this helps
