Record Number of On Line Viewers Today (Sat 6/6/15)

[SeattleSun]

The system is reporting a record of on line viewers today and few if any posts?

Tourist season?

"Most Online Today: 157. Most Online Ever: 157 (Today at 12:02:52 AM)"

Don't know about the 12:02 am note as I think the forum is set of GMT or London time?  Would be nice to be on PDT.

For example this post says 5:46 am and I am in the Pacific Time zone and it is 10:46 pm Saturday night.  I think its maybe 5:46 am Sunday morning in London.

Well, I mean, of course we would set records on mine and Trina's birthday!  That only seems right...? Cool info, thanks Seattle!  xoxo Emma

[Lancelot Link]

Oh, I see how it is... I haven't even left yet and you've already forgotten the other person celebrating a  birthday. LOL

[Emma]

AND LANCELOT!!!

[Lancelot Link]

LMAO
"Emma" and "Extraordinary" both start with "E."  Coincidence?  I think not.

[SeattleSun]

Oh wow Emma's birthday, 21 huh?   

Now you can get a beer in the bar?

Hang loose, I am just jealous.  I would give anything to get a "do over".

I generally find that big spikes like this are caused by spiders (like google's web crawler).  In particular there are some annoying spiders from Asia that don't rate limit as well as Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Or it could totally be because of the lovely ladies' birthdays.

It looks like the forum is set to UTC which isn't uncommon but a little odd for a business in a set geographical location.  You can set an offset from the server time in Look and Layout section of your profile.  The auto detect works well or you can just set it to -7 which is the UTC offset for PDT.

I also see spikes when a hack attack or denial of service attack happens. They try to overwhelm the system and cause it to crash.

That is far too low of a number for a DDOS attack.  This is a fairly small forum (I've seen forums with well over a million posts) so any reasonable server should be able to handle 150 users in an hour.

MM,

I have been unable to upload photos as a) the upload folder is full and b) the max photos is like 129k?   Help

And unable to embed a music video from the likes of U-Tube.   Help

Discussions with Jennifer the System Administrator has been to no avail.

TIA

Those values are set by the forum administrator and there isn't anything a user can do about it.  I would probably just upload them to an image hosting site like www.imgur.com and then embed them in your post using the [img][/img] (ideally using the "Insert Image" button )

And unable to embed a music video from the likes of U-Tube.   Help

There are some video embedding mods for SMF but they do require the forum administrator to install them.  I can understand if Jennifer doesn't want to do so as running too many mods on SMF can be taxing.  I'd just paste the link and if one of those mods are ever enabled it will likely auto converted it to be embedded.

SeattleSun,

I messaged you back and told you I use Image Shack for uploading of pictures, flyers, etc. 

Image Shack allows you to turn a photo into a link and post it on the forum. Give it a try!

Thanks mm, Jagged & Jennifer.

This is an example where I would like to "embed" a video.

I am now running on PDT.   In fact I only travel north/south any more so seldom leave it.
