You consider alerts to be pointless?theres some pointless stuff this system has that could be eating your resources/etc like the Alert module/etc
On a forum yeah... xenforo is not a social networking platform, it's merely a forum.You consider alerts to be pointless?
A forum is a medium that requires social interaction, making alerts a feature that benefits your users.On a forum yeah... xenforo is not a social networking platform, it's merely a forum.
Imagine the alert module with a forum with thousands online, would be horrendous I imagine
?

yes but you are talking about beta 3/4 of XF 1.1?When I first installed XenForo on my shared hosting using Beta 3, I have to be honest and say compared to using MyBB before the time-outs and me hitting server resource CPU limit was getting totally out of hand and I very nearly pulled XenForo down that first week. My shared host uses a tool displayed in my cPanel that monitors resource limit and acts on it also, I checked one day when things was bad and the site had hit the CPU limit around 49 times.
Later, when upgrading to Beta 4 from 3 things have been great since. Not sure why it's made such a huge difference, but I was getting many of the same error logs with Beta 3 that I'm no longer getting now using Beta 4.
I've no complaints about how it's running now, but that very first week using Beta 3 was a nightmare.

thanks, these are good news. However, I dont expect too much perfomance improvement on cpu usageThen you're probably going to want to wait until 1.1 is gold or take the plunge and do it now. I don't think there will probably be too many more betas before gold (of course, I have no idea really), but it seems to be the case. If you look at the updates posted for each of the betas for 1.1, you'll see that many of them have performance based changes in them.
Most shared hosts do not make opcaches available.I'd be surprised if your host doesn't use an opcode cacher like APC or XCache, which are great ways to save on cpu usage.
You couldn't be more wrong. The alerts feature alone is single handedly responsible for posting rates tripling on my forum.
How so Brogan? In what way are you using alerts to boost the posting rate of members?
In general, I would love to hear creative ideas on how XF Admins are using the Alerts.
