I no longer see the details of new threads against the different sectors - ie Lounge, East Dulwich etc. I used to see this update and decide whether to open and have a look see or not. I also used it to control number of unread threads and thus reduce loading time.


Have I done something - or has the system done something?

I'm afraid they were taken off as it causes a high load on the server where this website lives. It runs on a shared server and the other websites that it shares with were being affected so we got told off and had to find ways to reduce the load. The "show the number of threads" feature has to count all the unread posts for each section for each person then show the number and as there's about 2,000 people a day on the site it's quite intensive. We're looking at upgrading the software soon so that feature will come back or we have to move the site to a dedicated server which is about ?900 a year.


So it's something we had to do temporarily to stop the site being taken down, sorry you miss it but we hope to have it back.

    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
