8? RAM hog!

I want 12

I'm satified with it. I know it took a massive amount to work to show the entire list on one page.

Good work Tom. Thanks

Maybe this is an item in transition but the 100 limitation to view is a setback for me. I hope this improves, but I gave up wishing for positive improvements for the majority of the members of this message board. On the other hand, I know that Tom is working hard to make it right but I think this is going in the wrong direction for the message board in general.

See #76. I use Windows Visa. Smooth flow to the end of list.

When the webmaster decided to only show the top 100 it became almost ridiculous and very frustrating to find my friends and to keep track of their numbers so you can find them, as is now required! This was supposed to be fun and interesting, maybe a bit of a friendly competition among your friends. This is a great site, but is becoming too cumbersome to utilize.

When you click on the show all at the bottom of the top 100, you can't sort by name to scroll down to yours or your friend's ID, why? The list sorts for the top 100 names at this point and you are left wondering still.

The person in charge should really think before implementing such a bad algorithm! Does it hurt anything to show all right up front? Or, do you just want to make more work for your users? Keep making it difficult to use and you will not have a site.

Whuuuuuuttttt?????

You're kidding, right?

you might like to read posts about the problems before jumping to any conclusions; such as forming/voicing opinions such as:

decided to only

...
You might also offer the names of the different softwares that are so comprehensive they will not cause problems when the Webmaster is trying to fix sudden-appearing glitches.... like adding just one more newbie tracker to the roll.
I am curious as to the amount you contribute toward the Webmaster's pay - quite obviously it must be bucoos bigger than the rest of us !

At the bottom of the first 100 there's a small window. type in a number and it will show you the next 100 starting at that number. This was a temporary fix to a very tough problem and it took Tom lots of time and curse words to accomplish (I imagine)

Now I see that there's a link below that window where you can see the whole list at once, with the warning that the file is getting really huge and it may lock up your pc. I tried it today and the whole thing loaded as quick or quicker than it did prior to the problems.

Its easy to get frustrated and jump to conclusions. It takes awhile to learn how to dig around here for info to answer your question before you post a comment, but its worth the effort.

I guess I spoke too soon. Just tried it again and still had the freeze issue. Oh well...guess I'll have to buy a new computer with LOTS of ram.

I'm not going to call you a Jack-wagon because that wouldn't be nice. It's been well recorded the Auto Tracker has been having problems and this was the best solution available until a better fix can be found. If you knew how many countless hours Tom has spent on this perhaps you would be a little kinder in your "yank off the scab" approach.
