Delay in "Online Users" list [message #11794] Thu, 17 July 2003 17:12 Go to next message

Hi there,

I am running 2.5.0 at http://www.diabetesring.de/Forum and I am facing a quite strange problem.

The list of the users online at the bottom of the starting page is displayed with very big delay.

Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes until it is displayed that I am online.

Any idea, what is the root of this problem?

Best regards

Michael

The stats at the bottom of the page are cached and are not realtime. You can however control the amount of time they are in the cache by chaning the value of the "Forum Info Cache Age" option on the global control panel. By default it is set to 600 seconds (10 minutes).

thanks, that helped!!
Was that different in 2.3.8?? At least I did not realize the issue there.

Best regards

In 2.3.8 the data was realtime, which was quite slow, so in 2.5.0 I've introduced the cache.

Hi Prottoss,

I understand that the Forum Stats take quite some CPU power, so its quite reasonable to do the by Cache.

I actually do not feel that the online user list requires much of power, so would'nt it be a good idea to seperate those two matters and solve them in a different way.

Anyway, now its fine for me, so just an idea.

Best regards

Michael

Actually stats take little time to generate compared to online status which is quite slow especially on highly trafficed forums. The realtime list is avaliable via the "show what people are doing" anyway.
