Nothing, to SEN anyway. Everyone that currently have an IPv4 address will keep their address, the thing is that new addresses can't be allocated as there is no 'free pool' left. Likely a secondary market around IP addresses will spring up, with private companies that own unused addresses selling them to the highest bidder. Carrier-grade NAT is also a strong likelihood, and as a consumer you may find it impossible/very expensive to get a permanent IP address.

IPv6 is still not ready for mainstream adoption, but the exhaustion of the IPv4 pool will seriously spur implementation into overdrive.

Portal pages are live again, though not the main statistic section.

Is something wrong with the images in signatures again? See below. It's supposed to be completely transparent, yet SEN gives the resized box, although SEN doesn't resize it...

Yeah, I've been having to make my images 440x140 to avoid the resize thing. For some reason I think if your image fits the exact maximum allowed dimensions, it assumes it may be too big.

ISPs in Hokkaido already do this; people hate it.

Also, in case people miss it: http://www.staredit.net/267256/ <--- Suggestions to improve the image resizing.

Just opened nine topics in different tabs, including this thread. Five database errors.



Only variation was the Waited time, which at its highest was .0400ms

:3

The waited time means very little by itself. And of course it will be different. SEN seems to be hanging randomly, I'm not sure the cause. Maybe those apache tweaks that one support guy did (he didn't seem as competent as the other guy I talked to) or, even more likely, the random tweaks I did to mysql. I should probably try reversing those.

Another thing I've been working on is bringing v6 session code to v5, which was a bigger task then I originally thought due to very small changes that prevent just easy code porting.

Loading three or more pages simultaneously always gives the MySQL error.

Not for me. I just opened 7 tabs and it worked fine.

Well I don't know what's up then. It's when I first come to SEN after being off for a while and open (via right-click because middle click is still broken) all the forums I regularly check...plus the boxes, store, and raffle. I'll try to reproduce it now.

Done:

A Staredit Network error has occured:
MySQL Error '2006': MySQL server has gone away
Query failed: SELECT * FROM sessions WHERE ip='198.30.146.68' AND id='3a3d6f358534e12e47a7382b29e55f7d' LIMIT 1
Waited: 0.0309944152832 ms
Please contact administration with all the details.

I opened 8 total, the last 3 all bugged out.

If you open a lot of tabs, some of the requests are going to time out since SEN doesn't run on some high-end industrial server. If it's not a consistent slowdown on a specific page, then it's just a general high server load error, nothing surprising.

(was it necessary to put that in an [encase] instead of [quote]? )

The lag spikes I've been experiencing occasionally produce the same result on one tab alone, so something is wrong regardless. I'm sure the reason for both issues is one in the same.

It looks better and gives minerals. Everyone wins. :3

Quote, to me, implies that it came from one member or source in particular, such as

Quote from payne

It looks better and gives minerals. Everyone wins. :3

While [encase] usually means that it comes from no particular member, individual, etc.

The wait time is just how long it waited for the particular query before dying - I put it in as a test check and it is meaningless for the Error 2006. I should remove it, or if you get to it, you can, IP.

So then no more SEN v6 eh. Well I don't think we needed a new version of SEN, not with all these updates anyways.

I'd just rather see v6. At this point, v5.1 needs too many updates and is missing small features ("mark as read" no longer works btw), and at some point we kinda need to cut our losses.

v6 has been in the works long before Devourer and I started talking about 5.1. The ideas for v6 are great, and if IP ever finishes it I think it would be an awesome change for SEN. The problem, though, is that v6's development is taking a really long time because IP is busy with other things and of course he's doing this all for free. Despite the random SQL errors (that are a recent development, and I'm not entirely sure they are due to 5.1) and small changes that need a fixin', 5.1 isn't that bad and we'll be fine with it until IP unleashes v6 (or ports it to v5).

I think my goals for v6 is too grand, porting code and ideals over to v5 will see more instant results instead of waiting for god-knows-when for v6 to be ready for launch.

So are you going to update the list of SEN stuff, or just keep posting in this thread as you update stuff? And when v6 is finally ready, would it happen suddenly? As in I open Chrome, type S, hit enter, and it's BAM! in my face, or would it be a peaceful transfer that's little more than changing a name? I personally prefer the latter.
