The following patch for @home users such as you might help.
This only applys to Windows98 / Windows 2000 or later. Please tell me what operating system you have. It would be nice to know.

@Home Speed Patch

Read Carefully


A lot of people reported drastic speed increase using this patch. It's a program that was supported by @Home Cable Modem Service at the beginning of 1998, and it claims to make registry changes in order to increase Cable modem performance. The only key it makes changes to, that I'm aware of is "DefaultRcvWindow". It changes it to "373360" ?! The only disadvantages that I know of, are that the program "TCPAdjust" chokes on that registry setting, and wouldn't start, and that the 373360 RWin setting seems bogus, since it is not multiple of MSS. Another fact is that such large value is not supported under Windows 95 and NT, only Windows 98, 98SE and Windows 2000 have Large TCP Windows Support. To get the last bit of performance out of your Cable Modem, I'd recommend changing the RWin setting to some multiple of MSS after applying the patch - check the Registry Tweaks section , or install one of our Generic Registry patches after applying the @Home patch .

This patch is no longer supported by the @Home staff, according to them "It might cause some problems with stream video..." If you still want it, you can download it from here. It has a nice install/uninstall program and I couldn't reproduce any problems with "video" while running the patch. If you want to uninstall this patch for some reason, you can do it easily from "Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs"

    I love the Trending Content!

    New News Forum World News
  • 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?
  • Ghan Ghan:

  • 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
