so the answer is no slow down, or CPU hog for going to 10 reps or even 20 reps,

check the source code, it's all there

so what's your excuses this time DD ?

^ what he butterfly said.

jeez, dd, wouldnt kill you or the site to accomodate posters wishes by making a minor tweak or two to improve the milieu.

Just checked the members' list. There are 240 pages of members. Pages 1 - 56 have posters who've contributed one or more posts. Pages 57 - 240 are posters with no posts. Bladdy lurkers, get rid of 'em.

Yep, all those cooking vids which have nothing to do with Thailand come to mind...

A number of Thai-based members can't watch YouTube anyway.

I don't see much point in the cooking vids though I am sure their is a crafty reason DD posts them to do with helping the forum as a whole.

And I don't think they take up much space as they are not hosted on TD's server.

The folk who are most vocal on this topic demanding better service don't have the 'donor' badge under their name !

Probably 100,000 posts between them, and not one satang offered to the guy who is responsible for their #1 hobby.

^ Thread killer.

One has the choice not to show their donor status.....

not everyone feels the need to advertise their charity.

The original reason was that youtube gave the first 5 to embed a video a link back, when I started we had several hundred link backs from then, then they stopped the link backs

Correct, a couple of kb in text for each one.

But the query will cover a larger area of the database, and for something as nonsensical as reds and greens would it really be worth it?

If it wasn't for those posts there wouldn't even be a forum to read.

I haven't paid a single baht, but have found a convenient excuse

Typical KW tactics.

**English Noodles** · 29-05-2008, 07:04 PM
