How is the performance now, after so much tinkering and tweaking?

Too slow for my standards and I'm not able to install several styles or languages due to downgrading to a cheap shared host.

Got the portal back. My site's private and invite-only now.

Darn, my account is gone
Any way to get an invite now?

Style issues with Chrome ?

I'm in chrome and I viewed the site to see what your talking about and I don't see the issue.

I finally re-opened my site to new registration, in spite of the recent spam attacks. To prepare for it I set registration to Q & A instead of relying on reCaptcha and I assigned new moderators just in case. As far as the privacy issues I had before with weirdos signing up just to stalk a member, I created a new noob usergroup that has very limited permissions. All noobs stay in that usergroup until manually upgraded.

Sometimes people ask me what custom addons I've added that I requested and/or donated for first and addons I've created that I haven't released yet.

Sometimes people make a request but don't follow up on it. If I like it, I follow up on theirs and donate first to get it done if I'm not able to make it myself or don't have the time to try.

Can't remember them all so here's a small list of some:

Greetings! I was looking at the "Users Viewing Thread" plugin and noticed that you'd added a condition to prevent guests from seeing the info (which I assume reduces queries). Do you remember how you did this? I'm very untechnical. :<

Thanks for your insight.

I uninstalled that modification a long time ago because it clashed with another addon. I reinstalled it just now to figure out what I did and it works fine and I don't see anything else that's broke. Anyway this is the code.

Finally submitted to Showcase today. http://www.xfshowcase.com/showcase/8thos-com.32

Adding a mostly private site to showcase is probably not a good idea but please make an exception in my case. Initial posting privileges are restricted compared to most forums. To lift those restrictions after you join, post in This Thread and say who you are on XFShowcase and in This Thread and say who you are on 8thos. If you are a verified member of XFShowcase then your account will be approved to regular membership so that you can view and post on the site normally.
