United Package Smashers

Re: Miserable User

I just researched "Miserable User", and guess what? Mr Package Smasher wasn't kidding! Here's what it does:

1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).

3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).

4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).

5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).

6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).

7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.

Note: All the above options are set in the vBulletin Options.


This is what happens to me at BrownCafe! PLEEASE take me off Miserable User, Cheryl!!!!!!

over... I think you're more of an annoyed user than a miserable user.

Just FYI, there are some known issues that slow this software down for people that log in with multiple usernames. It is especially problematic in firefox which, if I remember correctly, is the browser that you prefer.

Try clearing your cache and cookies and then restart your computer.

Interesting. I don't really think you have me on Miserable User, Smashers post just struck a chord.

I have only one username. The only thing I can think of is I've let a friend log in on my computer, but I haven't seen him in many months.

My current browser is Safari, which I thought was the answer to all my problems. It was amazing at first, but so slow now.

Just here. Just BrownCafe.

I'll try the cache/cookies thing, thanks.
