Generally speaking, if you're getting 10k hits per hour from a certain country (such as UBBDev), all from different IP addresses which are spamming pages with bogus traffic, your server may be under attack; in fact, your web host may even be under attack.

There is no doubt they may already know about a burst of traffic, but you should call them directly and let them know to see if there is anything you can do, and ask them what steps you can take to protect yourself from those attacks.

A Content Delivery Network (such as CloudFlare) generally allows one to set custom firewall rules for your site will allow you to flag different security levels, turn on an "I'm under attack" mode, and generally they even give one free SSL certificates.

I have never had success with importing polls from classic.
Even with the original importer.
The importer just skips it..
I just gave up and accepted it.
Coding is there for it and maybe the correct combination of classic and ubbthreads versions may work.
But I have tried many different versions.
With no success.
I remember the topic and replies imports but the actual poll and results do not import.

Besides that.
If you have been using threads after a classic import.
There is no way to append another import from classic.
You would need to run it again from the original classic files and loose any new posts on threads.

I agree on making them both a user preference only.
Unless they create a large overhead on the server.
And yes instead of topic tooltip preview. it should say something like topic preview on hover.
But that is the way it has been since it was introduced since like v7.5??? 2011 anyway.

Thank you for this tip. It will be updated in 7.7.4.

Thank you, I must have been drunk when I looked over the perms the first time.

I thought the same thing when I looked at it.
But I kept playing with it till I got frustrated.

Bottom line.
The update queries to change them to use the php redirect took a whopping 40 seconds.
So it works now using the php script.
Now I had to rebuild posts so the actual url displayed the new path , even though they worked.
That took about 15 minutes.

An unrelated item is The flashing PM indicator will not turn off for me.
A quick look it appears to be the welcome message. The unix time stamp read says 1.
But I never got it at all , to read.
But this is another topic.


So for this Topic I consider it closed.

well eventually the ubb will clear the users like myself waiting on validation all by itself..When it does I will register again.
So maybe the age check still is bugged..
But like I said I thought it was squashed.
