The problem is fixed. Simply wait after your computer is finished having a heart attack then everything should be okay. If it doesn't completely shut down that is.

We had a problem with stale cache so if something weird starts happening, sometimes clearing cache works, but on my side performance should be okay, this site is super simple and should work really fast. The latency is a bitch though so if you are far away from London, where the server is located, then it may get slow, depending on the internet quality.

That removes data I like.

Please don't change that. I don't think this site would be as demanding as Terraria but please don't pull a Terraria.

I am close.

My problem would have to be memory. The internet meter or whatever it was called was full but my memory shoots up when these two apps are there. I require them because it speeds up my computer or can't even remove it.

You can delete only the data specific to this site, which would just delete some cached images and styles.

I won't :) What's a Terraria though?

That wasn't the problem. It was memory. I never have a problem with cache due to the amount of free space I have. I think it would be half of the maximum space on my computer. The problem is RAM which I am thinking would be the memory side.

I won't :) What's a Terraria though?
It is a video game. Basically 2D minecraft with more bosses and more options of movement. It basically had an update which drastically increased the minimum specifications required to run optimally.
Oh okay
You don't believe me. Okay I will tell you. One is called service host: Superfetch and another is called Windows Explorer which is a thing I used to access files. For some reason it is open without it being open and I can't end the task since the prompt says restart.

No no, I didn't mean to say that it was the problem, just mentioned that it's possible to clear cache locally.

Got it, thanks. We won't have the same thing happening here.

I do believe you, I am not sure why you thought otherwise.

I apologize for assuming what you were stating. Next time can you have me as a receiver and don't know if I have a message from if I don't check this forum post?

Was the messaging system prioritizing quick and short messages rather then long messages? 
I would prefer an option where the chat system encompassed more of the screen so that I can read more messages that I have missed. Basically be "inspired" by DDO if you do have an alternative in mind.
Is this another thing on your list of things you are going to add or was it something new I stated?

I didn't really think about it but I guess so, yeah.

Yeah, I definitely have a couple of ideas regarding this matter.

I don't know, I am the only constant dev on this project and with 7$ of donations, I can't get more work force so I don't know how long it will take. We're not Kialo with their millions of investments so things take some time.

Hey I am talking a lot to people.
Will that help in the relevancy of DA?
I'll keep doing it anyway but would like to know if you have some sort of information on how much I am helping in posting forum posts. 
I have like 350 forum posts in 9 days.

It's hard to say really, there are many factors that play important role.

I don't get all notifications to my email sometimes. I think it is because I am already on the page where someone is responding to me which is why it doesn't go to my email. Is that true?

No, there is a set break of 5 mins between the emails to prevent spam, that's probably the reason.

How about the option to be spammed?
Is that an option?
It will definitely reduce me missing something addressed to me or addressed in a forum post I made.

Not sure about those, it's a lot of work and expenses (storage ain't free these days). Definitely not something to expect any time soon.

Idk how hard this is to implement, but when a link is posted, there should be a new tab to that link versus the DART page transfering to that link

We do have it on the features list but it requires some research, I am not sure how easily it can be done

I am afraid currently I save the pics in 140x140 size so making those bigger would blur them, but it's doable, just would take some time :)

That's an easy one :) You can go ahead and I will add those as soon as possible once you publish them :)

Are you redirecting using HTML? Just add    target = "_blank"       in your anchor tag.

It's not that easy, I am afraid. The thing is that every forum post text is a huge string that contains HTML and which is generated by the user when he or she creates a post, so in order to add this attribute, I'd need to parse the string first and then add it to each <a> tag, and I am not sure if I can find library to achieve that, that's why I need to do some research :)

When someone posts a post on my forum post without addressing me I still get a notification. That rule is not applied in debates. Why is that?
