Prillian, how many people actually use it on here ??

Seeing how much shit is on here (some of it unused), we're undertaking an effort to speed up the forums..... so we'd like to see your comments on the features / extras on MS that you guys use the most.

Your responses will really help us speed up MS and reduce server loads.

thanks

Re: Prillian

haha, sorry, a bit of all of the above really, i opened it before but soon closed it down, i don't like what i dont understand, hehe :wink:

#283275Post 5 of 72

i tried using it before, but nobody fucking responds... therefore i stopped using it.

#283277Post 6 of 72

I have never used it, and I believe when we voted on it before, I voted for not nreally needing it. But maybe others do. When i click on the portal page and go to my posts to see any replies, it always pops up and I just close it because I have other messengers i use. Not a big deal, if others need it, thats cool, just wanted to share my opinion. THank you

#283281Post 7 of 72

Ah, is that the internal messenger thing?

#283285Post 8 of 72

^^^^ guess that would be a "NO" lol

#283287Post 9 of 72

Nope.

#283300Post 11 of 72

reason I ask is board is slow so am considering "shedding some weight".

I guess I should have renamed the post to WHAT DO YOU USE MOST ON MS.

#283305Post 13 of 72

Don't use Prillian. Just use the main forums really, none of the other stuff, GYY does it for me.

Please tell us how much you use/like to keep especially these features:

  • Prillian
  • Album section (besides the possibility to upload an avatar to ms)
  • Links section
#283318Post 15 of 72

Sure don't. I have the [url=http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/index.php]Forum Index[/url] bookmarked so I don't ever have to worry about it even popping up. Lose it dude, we can PM someone if we need to ask them something.

Turn this thread into a Poll ;)

#283323Post 17 of 72

Of the current features the only ones I use other than posting, PM, etc. are games and occassionally the albums. I've used the calendar a few times. I've never used the radio or Prillian. I hope this what you were asking for.

#283325Post 18 of 72

i use downloads most. digweed is best. jejejejeje.

#283329Post 19 of 72

I use [url=http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/posting.php?mode=reply&t=6086][img]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/templates/fisubice/images/lang_english/reply.gif[/img] [/url] the most.

Then [url=http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=1][img]http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/templates/fisubice/images/lang_english/post.gif[/img][/url]

You should get rid of the Calendar, because all Operating Systems have one. The radio link doesn't even work, nor have I ever used it. We have Proton radio and [url=http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=8][ms] Member sets & recommendations[/url]

ive had maybe 2 decent conversations on there.. otherwise its been about as useful as a chocolate teapot unfortunately.. i really like the idea, if only it was effective as it could be :ZZZZ:

#283337Post 21 of 72

The radio link does work. And i use it.

#283341Post 22 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

Get rid of those useless downloads, they suck and no one uses them

:mrgreen:

Radio button works for some but not for all..it does not work for me and I never could figure out why. :Bullshit:

Nope.. don't use it :unsure:

No problem, that?s why we ask...no need for features which slow down the forum even if nobody uses them...

#283385Post 33 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

I basically just use the board. I do agree something needs to be changed. All the x-tra toys are nice if they didn't hinder the site performance. Most of the time it's painfully slow to surf the boards if not impossible when I'm at work.

Good luck with potential adjustments

Ditto

#283428Post 36 of 72

get rid of Prillian, Country Flags (eye candy only... most of the board lies on it), Calendars, and Shoutbox. These are probably taking the most bandwidth/cpu time out of all mods

#283431Post 37 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

Actually the Games (especially writing the HighScores and embedding them in each users's profile) are using a SHITLOAD of ressources. :Naughty:

#283445Post 38 of 72

games wasn't on -e-'s list of things to remove :)

#283446Post 39 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

Games? :shock:

#283470Post 40 of 72

Re: Speed up the forums....

I never used Prillian...

I use the Radio alot - keep that!
