Predictor 1,007 Posted November 22, 2014 Hi, I have a question about the "Most Online" feature. Is it really likely that 175 registered members logged in at deathlist.net simultaniously when Thatcher died? Or does the count include guests as well? Also, is it possible for the admins to check old revisions of the record? Lastly, who is likely to break the current one? Any guesses? Ďakujem, Predictor.

Paul Bearer 5,642 Posted November 22, 2014 1-I don't think the total counts members only. I'm fairly sure it includes guests in the total. 2-The highest number we had was something like 421 possibly around December 2007/8/9 not entirely sure of the year. 3-I suppose that would depend on how much publicity the deathlist gets. I wouldn't like to guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predictor 1,007 Posted December 5, 2014 Hi, I'd like to point out an error. On this page, Lord Denning is listed as born in 1903. Yet it says he was 100 years old. Which one is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RIP Wee Jum 1,558 Posted December 5, 2014 Hi, I'd like to point out an error. On this page, Lord Denning is listed as born in 1903. Yet it says he was 100 years old. Which one is it? Wiki says he was born in 1899. So I would guess he was 100 years old rather than born in 1903. But that is not definite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You like posting in this thread more than BG likes bumping "Deathlist 2014" Still good point though, although there's a few errors there in the murky depths of those old pages. You probably shouldn't spend too long poking around in those dusty old things you'll give yourself chronic hackingcoughitis or summat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably shouldn't spend too long poking around in those dusty old things you'll give yourself chronic hackingcoughitis or summat. The reason I looked at those old DL versions was because I wanted to see which celebs have been picked most times. So far, those with 10+ appearences are... Clive Dunn: 16 Queen Mother: 14 Ronald Reagan: 14 Ronnie Biggs: 13 Bob Hope: 13 Kirk Douglas: 12 Eli Wallach: 12 Pope John Paul: 12 Fidel Castro: 11 Michael Foot: 11 Katharine Hepburn: 11 Barbara Cartland: 11 Kurt Waldheim: 11 Jake Lamotta: 10 General Pinochet: 10 John Mills: 10 Alistair Cooke: 10 Don Bradman: 10 And yes, I appear to post a lot in this thread. Sorry, I'll see to it that I tone it down a bit in the future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BuriedInCarolina Posted January 5, 2015 I can't seem to register as a new member. Keep getting an error that says the administrator isn't accepting new registrations at this time. Is that correct and if so, when might new members be allowed to join this death party? If memberships are being accepted, what might be the problem with my interface?

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted January 11, 2015 So.... did an "update" just wipe out every witty thread subtitle/tagline? Or... is it just me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,938 Posted January 11, 2015 Same here (on chrome , mobile version). Seems to be a very blue box round the search box too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,397 Posted January 11, 2015 Same here (on chrome , mobile version). Seems to be a very blue box round the search box too. Today Grim Reaper did indeed upgrade the forum software. About the topic descriptions: they still exist, I'm trying to get tme back in view. The blue box is also newly introduced, I presume it's something to do with CSS settings. I'll also have a look at that. but it's less urgent than the topic descriptions. I'll keep you posted on progress. regards, Hein 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,397 Posted January 11, 2015 Oooo sorry but this looks a right mess now. My guess is that it has something to do with skinning of the forum, a fine FUBAR. I'll have to dig into the documentation to get that right. It may take a while. Stay tuned, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to dig into the documentation to get that right. It may take a while. I fiddled a bit with skinning settings. That resulted in the blue box turning black. Sorry, Time. From documentation I learned that display of topic descriptions (witty thread subtitles/taglines) is disabled since IPB 3.2. They're still in the database, but to get them back will involve surgery I'm not ready for. The crappy layout of posts is my next target.

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted January 12, 2015 PicassoList is great. Well for a (hopefully) short-term thing anyway. Think I might wait to update my sig until a non-archeologist can actually be expected to easily find it amongst all the mess Also, I don't mean to badger you while you're trying to unblock the pipes but also......... guests can't view profiles or even "hover over" a user's name to get info about a user. Which probably is rubbish. One to fix later maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My hope is that I can present results Thursday. Please be patient, I will solve it. regards, Hein 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
