Hi all!

Did I spend three month here without seeing that there's an activ list on the bottom of the page or is the "front gate" new?

In case of #1 please don't laugh...

I just noticed it at the bottom too. I used to be on the side where the ads are now. I thought it was eliminated because it slowed down the dialup users.

The front gate has always been there, but in a different format. The list of online members used to be down the side on the front page and also on the left-hand column where the advertisements are now.
Jim is upgrading certain features to improve the site and access.
Ive never seen the list at the bottom before, so yes its new. Its handy though if you want to copntact or see those online.

Jim must be working on it right now. It just went from a single vertical list of people to several horizontal rows.

Hooray, the front gate is comin back! If it's been there all this time, I haven't seen it on my screen. Good to know!

Thats cool, it's great to see it up and running. Hello everyone

Hi all!

Seems Jim is playing a little bit! The "front line" is horizontal now! I think it's better that way... and it slows nothing on my computer. But I don't have dial-up...

Jean-Luc

Well...don't get your hopes up too high. If it negatively affects site speed it may need to go back in storage again. However this time I will try to make some improvements to it. Plus now that we are caching 80% of our ads and other high-traffic pages it may not be as much of a problem.

Come Monday morning we will be able to tell.

Cheers,
Jim

Jim, buddy, I have dial-up and there are no slowdowns here! In fact, I think it speeded things up here! :-)
Thanks for bringing it back.

LOL! I was about to say say the original front-gate was dropped because it tied up too many resources and slowed the site down - but Jim beat me to it.

It is really nice to see it back - it gives a greater sense of community but , as Jim said...

All the best

BUT.... just because it shows me here, doesn't mean I'm awake........ for I have been know to doze off at the computer.... :-) :-) :-)
