General Discussion Rules
  • This forum is for GENERAL DISCUSSION - Non Warcraft stuff. For WARCRAFT discussion please post in the Warcraft Talk Forum

  • WRITE YOUR POSTS IN ENGLISH! If you can't write English very well then say so, otherwise we will assume you are good at English. IF WE FEEL YOUR POST IS CRAPPILY WRITTEN WE MAY DELETE IT OR CLOSE THE THREAD DOWN.

  • Do not badmouth or abuse anyone, ESPECIALLY THE MODERATORS.

  • Use manners when posting towards other members. Do not flame or personally attack other members. This is including but not limited to 'noob', its variants and name calling.

  • Do not "bush-bash" or insult one's nation/political leaders - This includes "bush-bashing," or other attacks on one's country or political leaders.

  • Do not write your post entirely in capital letters - this is considered shouting, and is very annoying.

  • No "I'm leaving" or "I'm back" threads - while we're happy to hear that you like TheHelper enough to come back, or sad to hear you're leaving, it's nothing more than spam.
THE ABOVE RULES WILL BE HEAVILY ENFORCED SO DO NOT BREAK THEM



---------------------------------------------------
The Helper and your health.
Lately many threads have been popping up about medical problems and how to treat them. This thread is to remind members that we are a technical forum, (with some other features) and that we are NOT a Medical or Health Forum! None of us are trained professionals, nor are we there to help you in person. Meaning our advice is probably not the best.

So please, before someone gets themselves more sick or injured, DO NOT post threads containing questions about your medical or health condition. It will be closed by a mod that will tell you that you should go see a professional.

Heed that message well, if you wish to have medical knowledge on something, please use a site like WebMD or better yet ask your own professional doctor.
~ Miz and The Helper Staff

Amendment - For those seeking personal advice on problems, such as family affairs, mental health, etc. Those threads would fall under this message, so please do not post such threads in the General Discussion!

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Robot: HTTP client library - i love the new robot :)
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New Science News Forum and it starts out with 420 threads :)
  • The Helper The Helper:
