Something got changed and I hope it was just an accident, because I really like that function and am used to it.
Can we get it back, please?
Missing "active topics" in Quick links when logged out
Re: Missing "active topics" in Quick links when logged out
I've limited some features available to bots and guests due to higher load on the forums. Is it a lot of trouble for you to simply log in? :)

Hey Sanqui, thanks for reply. It's not a problem at all to log in, just me being lazy
Is it such a big impact when for example the active topics is available for guests?

Due to how phpBB is set up, it counts as a search, and I've disabled searches in general for guests and bots. (I also removed some logic that tells apart guests and bots because it was actually causing a lot of unnecessary load...)
I might try to bring the feature back for guests when I consider the performance stable enough to play with it again :)

I, as a former "Guest" had to
- Find this thread (which would have been easier with the former behaviour )
- Logged in on factorio.com assuming this would also log me in to the forum (yeah, maybe a weird expectation, but I've seen other games that do that)
- Tried to log in to the forum only to realize that I was not registered here yet
- Registered an acount, while failing the stupid Google ReCaptcha twice (that tiny dot in the distance is supposed to be a BOAT, Google? Seriously?!)
- Had to fish the account verification mail out of my spam folder
- Logged in and clicked on this thread

Now I'm kind of curious whether "Your posts" searches the entire forum's history for your posts, as that appears to be a search as well.Sanqui wrote: ↑Mon Jan 28, 2019 10:35 amDue to how phpBB is set up, it counts as a search, and I've disabled searches in general for guests and bots.
