Gnomon - time to move on

The <./>Info</.> page tells me that:

"Researchers have become members since we launched on April 28, 1999."

and

"There are currently Edited Entries in the Guide."

I knew both of these already.smiley - biggrin

The latter is sometimes not true (in the observable sense) during site crashes. But then the info page is quite likely not to work then either.

Somewhere about the place there's a comment (from Jim Lynn?) on how the info page was recently streamlined once again to reduce the burden on the servers. NB Earlier changes included the removal of the most prolific and verbose poster statistics. Now the sub-stats on conversations and articles have to be requested separately.

If the <./>Info</.> page doesn't provide any information at all, it will certainly reduce the burden on the servers.

It's waiting for skin changes to give links to the various stats that are available.

So it is a feature-in-the-making rather than a bug. smiley - ok
