Hi guys,

When connecting today I observe that the spy page changed : no more than 11 topics displayed :( Is it a new feature or a bug ? ;) So why this change ?
Thx

It's a bug/feature/by design. The forum spy queries the last 200 or so posts from the database, a simple query by design so the server won't be stressed by many people watching the spy page, and from that selection shows the last posts per topic. If the spy is small, there are a lot of posts in relatively little topics. I doesn't happen a lot, but I need to fix that sometime.

Yeah, it's looking pretty weird right about now:

Shortest I've ever seen it. Wasn't like this earlier today. All eyes are on Matteo's build project? Forum still feels just as busy, at least.

As I remind now, this is not the first time I experienced this but I thought it was an issue into my cache browser. It's not a big deal but this time I reproduce it with another computer so I was wondering :)
Thanks for the reply webwit !

Muirium : It passed to 9 ! :o

Edit : now it's only 8 !! :o

Still 8. I was hoping it would go to 7, then 6, usw.

I checked the code, and it was the lasts 100 posts. I increased it to 200. We have much better hardware now, shouldn't be a problem.
