Tom - welcome to the boards!

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

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 · Apr 20, 2002

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 · Apr 21, 2002

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

MarkA · Apr 21, 2002

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

Karl Foster · Apr 21, 2002

OK, THANK YOU!!!!

Chris Freeland · Apr 21, 2002

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

Jacob S · Apr 23, 2002

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 · Apr 23, 2002

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 · Apr 23, 2002

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 · Apr 24, 2002

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 · Apr 24, 2002

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.
