Tom - welcome to the boards!

Warwick, NY...that isn't too far from me. Only about a half hour. I live in Rockland County.

[Steve Mehs]

WelcomeTo DBSTalk, Tom :hi:

Opera is pretty fast, although I only use it at school, I started a thread in the potpourri forum about Opera yesterday, any comments feel free to post them :)

Opera 6.0 Reports as MSIE 6.0 unless you change it in the prefrences.

[MarkA]

I'm suprised NOBODY uses Konqueror (which is a quite nice browser for Linux), yet a fair percentage use Lynx (an awful text-only browser)

[Karl Foster]

Why doesn't AOL show up as a browser? I am using AOL. What would I be shown as?

[MarkA]

Because AOL ISN'T A BROWSER!!! AOL uses Internet Explorer for now, but will start using Netscape (Mozilla) soon

[Karl Foster]

OK, THANK YOU!!!!

[Rage]

Why doesn't AOL show up as a browser? I am using AOL. What would I be shown as?

[Chris Freeland]

I gues I am the 5th person here that uses Opera. Opera rules:)

[Jacob S]

I am now using opera bc it is so so fast, I wonder what the statistics are now after having all these new people on here?

[MarkA]

Yes Chris (or any other admin with statistics access), could you post the statistics (hits, locations, web browsers operating systems, anything else you got) for the day of 22-Apr-2002? I'd be VERY interested to see how this day compares (not just in hits but also in browsers, etc) to the picture Chris gave us above.

[Tom_S]

Yea, my Opera is set to ID as MSIE. So the stats are probably off. If I set it to Opera some websites are way off.

I still love it though.

[Jacob S]

Why couldnt we have just one thing listed as a topic or forum indicating the results at the end of each day of the statistics to this site so that we dont have people asking for them all the time?

[Chris Blount]

Looks like with DBSForums down we are taking quite a ride.

On the April 22 we had over 284,000 hits.

On the 23rd we had over 338,000 hits.

Looks like our server is doing great and can handle the load just fine.
