Author | Topic: dBoard 4.0 Release | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Admin Director Posts: 13040 From: EvC Forum Joined: Member Rating: 2.2 |
The "d" is the default favicon for dBoard, used for new installations. When I initially flipped over to the new code there was a bug that made it unable to find the favicon for EvC Forum, so it defaulted to the dBoard favicon. That bug has been fixed.

This is fixed, e.g.:
Thanks for the bug report!

I'm now going to take an incremental approach. I only need about 30 seconds at most, so I just need the minimal battery backup that provides enough watts. It turns out that getting up above 750w is pricey, $200 and up, but since you say my box doesn't unlikely draw as much as it says in its specifications (maybe it's what the power supply is rated for?) I thought I'd bring home several UPS's and try them in order of increasing wattage, keeping the first one that works.
Do you or anyone have a guestimate for actual wattage? My box is a humongous beast, a maxed out Dell XPS 700, about five years old.

I would need the exact specs: CPU, Video card, Hard Drive/SSD, amount/brand/type of RAM, Motherboard and PSU make/model. I build beastly machines and unless you have dual high end video card cards (SLI or Crossfire), it is highly unlikely you would need more than a ~500W PSU, not that you are even pulling that much wattage. If you have a link to your rig (Dell website perhaps), that would be helpful.
{abe}Similarly, you could install something akin to the Kill-A-Watt to measure how much wattage your PC (or any other device plugged into it) is actually using. {abe #2}Give this one a shot.

but would appreciate feedback from any other members who have opinions about this. I never felt like an arrow was quite the right icon. My 2 cents. The arrow pointing towards the thread indicates "there is something right in there" so to speak. Arrow seems very appropriate. Even an inexperienced newbee can determine what it means without scratching their head for too long. And, of course, the hover text is a dead giveaway.

Background:Please report bugs, make comments and provide feedback to this thread. I logged in under my old, formerly linked, AdminNWR account. My intention was to look at the dBoard 4.0 changes from that account, mainly to see if I could still login. Here is what I noticed: 1: There is a "Reply" button showing for most posts, even though that account had its reply ability disabled. Of course, I tested it, and was not allowed to reply. So this is mainly a cosmetic problem, and perhaps not too serious. 2: If I click on a thread where I had not read any post, then all posts are presented in a single page. The profile settings (20 posts per page) is ignored. After I have read the thread, if I go back into that thread again, I then see 20 posts per page. It does not matter whether:
As an example of the last of those, I clicked on the title line for Who designed the ID designer(s)?, and I was presented with a single page apparently containing 377 posts. I'm inclined to think this a serious bug, rather than a feature. It will confuse people who newly join the site, since they start out with all posts in all threads as unread.

I'd already left by the time you added your appends, but based on your advice that my computer was unlikely to actually be consuming 750w I bought a very similar UPS, just twice as many watts, 450w instead of 225w. Works fine. It's an APC from Best Buy, it looks like a simple box with 10 plug outlets and a very heavy battery inside, though rather small in size, maybe 2.5x3x5 inches.
Thanks for the help. I know I didn't follow the advice about Best Buy, but it was very helpful to know I didn't need to buy the mondo UPS for $200.

No change in the problems with search, I assume?
