    What? No Comic Sans? :)

    Pretty sure it's the default system font, which is based on your OS. Though Lennard would know for sure.

    Is it weird that I don't know the name of different style fonts? I mean I know what comic sans is because of the meme or whatever.

    According to CSS:
    Code:
    /** Text used in message bodies **/
    
    
    .messageText
    {
        font-size: 11pt;
    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    line-height: 1.4;
    
    }

    The forum is pretty well optimized and doesn't run unnecessary queries, those sort of counters are updated every 24 hours by means of a Cronjob.

    Don't you think that 24 hours is too much? I doubt those counters might slow down forums any reasonable server hardware.

    It does 1 query every 24 hours compared to 1 every time someone loads a page with attachments ;) The forum already does 10 queries every page load, which is the bare minimum possible. This forum according to statistics has at least 25 hits every second already. Do the math :p

    In technical terms, calculating the number of attachments requires a LEFT JOIN operation, of which the forum does a lot already, so its definitely beneficial to not run that query.

    I run XenForo forum with 50-100 users simultaneously (and ~200 guests) and ~2 million posts. It's working just fine on server with i7 CPU, 12GB RAM and 2HDD in RAID. It's uses Nginx+PHP-FPM with XCache.

    It's why I don't understand importance of such slower counters update while it's useful information which show if somebody actually opened file or not.

    If it's running fine it doesn't mean you don't have to slow down on the queries. Also , I just checked and the cron runs every 3 minutes, I mixed it up with the daily statistics Cronjob. So if your attachments are still not viewed by now, it simply means none clicked them yet.

    I just doubt that you might gain any better performance by slow down exactly these counters.

    Here is link:

    I totally sure this file were viewed multiple times, but it's still have 0 views, so probably it's a bug.

    Yeah, this. Blobs and curved edges and horrid blank gaps everywhere.

    I couldn't tell whether I had posts in a thread, but then I realised it was because my avatar was blank, so now I've added one I should be able to tell.

    Also, in "view new posts", thread page numbers only viewable on mouseover? Why would it need to be hidden in the first place? And there's no analogous "view my posts" button.

    @SXX Good catch, after investigating I found out the Cronjobs aren't running at all! I alreayd found it weird the "latest member" wasn't updating.

    EDIT: Fixed it, for now. Apparantly it's a bug in XenForo 1.2, awesome o_O

    I think s/he ment the page numbers of individual threads which are only visible with a mouse hover over the thread itself which is pretty annoying.:confused:

    This is what I mean, in the "view new posts" search page, you can't see how many pages a thread has unless you mouseover its entry. I don't think I'm in the minority when I say that's a crucial piece of info in making that list of results more readable.

    The trophies and twitter clone are a bit pointless but I do very much like the notifications when my post is quoted. That's an unambiguous improvement.

    I just checked your record and it seems you are an early backer, but did you actually purchase an alpha key?
