thought peeps might want a heads up on this about thread subscriptions, just spotted itHi folks,
We've been experiencing some slowness on the Forum recently and one of the things we've been able to track it down to is the huge amount of thread subscriptions that we have to deal with, some of which date from the instalation of vBulletin, over 4 years ago.
In the old days, all users were automatically subscribed to every thread they posted in and it's this legacy that's causing us the problems.
So, to solutions:
1. From 10pm this evening, we are taking the Forum down for an hour to delete a large number of old subscriptions - every thread that hasn't been updated for 6 months of more will have it subs removed.
2. We are going to switch everyone's automatic thread subscription setting to "Do not subscribe". If you want to change this,. you will need to go into your User CP - Edit Options - Messaging & Notification section and change the setting back.
3. We are considering setting a subscription limit to try and minimise the resource this consumes but we'll make that decision after we've done the deletion and see where that gets us.
We hope that this operation will give us back some resource without having any major negative affect on users.
if you have any questions, please let us know.

sorry I didnt mean to confuse you, everyone gets the free Virtual handbag, its after you press play now on that page that the congratulations page comes up if you've won an actual prize, it seems others are winning, so you could delete your cookies and try again, I can send you a new code if you want but it says one code every 24 hours - but if you delete your cookies you can do another one. let me know sorry, bbIf you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.0
