Let's none of us forget that on January 1st 80,000,000,000 members birthdays will occur.

Actually 3,986, but thanks for the reminder

Brad!

Actually 3,986

So I rounded up...

[dglienna]

I didn't think 3,986 would crash the forum. Have we been fixing things? Are we going to try to keep it live this year?

[RobDog888]

I thought it would only crash the users browser and not bring down the site.

Tough luck if January 1st IS your birthday..

seriously

I thought it would only crash the users browser and not bring down the site.

It will try to display all 80 million (rounded up ) on the front page at the bottom. That will tend to slow down most people's browsers loading the page.

Brad!

Is there any way you could just mass change those birthdays to December 32nd?

Then, anyone who truly has a birthday on Jan 1st could fix their own account on their own time?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Feb 29th might work if Dec 32nd doesn't.

Does this thread mean that Jan 1 will be a really bad day to be on VBF?

[dglienna]

Only if Brad forgets to turn off birthdays on that day, which was the whole point of the thread.

[NotLKH]

However, if Dec 32nd was used, {and the forum software didn't object to a non existant date}, then they'd never appear.

Thus no need ever to turn off birthdays.

If the birthdays don't slow you down, the hangover will.

[RobDog888]

I dont believe invalid dates are an option. No other choice then to turn off BDs for the first or require a valid BD for everyone.

[thegreatone]

It causes my browser to crash just looking at the calendar for that date.

Nice warning thread

[RobDog888]

Did we get the January 1st birthdays turned off for today?

Takes about 5 seconds for it to load all 3,986 items on my system. I am running IE without any crashes for this

It will probably crash if you are running FF.

[penagate]

Yeah... nice one...

It takes 30 seconds. Then again so does just about everything I do on this computer. Like clicking on menus.

[RobDog888]

You need to dump that flaky FF browser and upgrade to IE

Rob here's a good website for you. Anyone who wants to be able to see it in full needs to upgrade to an XHTML compliant browser

Happy new year BTW

[RobDog888]

Well if you want to see this site then you need to upgrade to IE.

Happy New Year Penegate

See you in CC.

nice site

are xhtml files supposed to have .html or .xhtml extensions?
Fx supports viewing .xhtml files, while IE tries to download .xhtml files.
