Yip. I set my sig to only show the latest POGS badge a while ago because of that. Especially since there will be no more badges from that project.

Three of my PrimeGrid badges have changed colour/color again: GCW Sieve (Gold to Amethyst), 321SR2 Sieve (Silver to Gold), PPS_LLR (Silver to Gold),
and my GCW MIP badge (the 'Mipple') became sapphire.

New sig please

Up to #282

I'll get it sorted before heading up to the track with an other engine to set up.

Actually, sorted. All cached sigs are updated. Congratulations on moving up the ranks.

All sigs will update in a few mins. Any issues, let me know as always.

All cached signatures have been updated on the server. Any issues let me know.
Can I ask that we use the cached sigs again as sebs site has been very slow transferring signatures again.
If anyone else wants their sig to be cached for local loading please let me know and I will add you.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Thu Apr 09, 2020 3:50 pm

I've been meaning to ask how does saving a signature on the TSBT server and loading it from there speed things up? Does the TSBT server feed the image to the browser faster than Seb's server? Because that's the only performance benefit that could be gained, afaik. Otherwise it's just putting more load on the TSBT server

Yes it does make load times far faster. The sig is downloaded from sebs server every time you open a thread, plus every other sig on that thread that is being pulled from sebs server. It makes loading threads very slow, especially noticeable if you are on a slow connection. It also has the advantage of not having to wait whilst connecting to an external server. The server we run the forum on should have no load issues. There was also the issue with sebs server not running https which would cause browsers to complain that the content was mixed https and http. That's not an issue now.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Thu Jun 10, 2021 12:56 pm

I'll update everyones sig that's cached on the server latter today.

@Dirk Broer Had to go to a rig in your neck of the woods off Den Helder. Internet is shocking. Will try again today to update sigs.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Wed Jun 16, 2021 1:06 am

Den Helder, the utter north of North Holland! Mainland North Holland that is, the isle Texel (or, as the locals prefer, Tessel) is also a part of North Holland.
Den Helder is also the Dutch equivalent of old Scapa Flow: main port of the Royal Dutch Navy.

Website · Post by **davidbam** » Wed Jun 16, 2021 9:47 am

I was born and raised about 400 yards from Scapa Flow

Got a bit spooked when I recognised my parent's house on Luftwaffe air reconnaissance photos in the Royal Navy museum at Lyness

Could be wrong but I suggested doing it because I think the real improvement comes from having a static filename for the image; it will be cached by the user's own browser and downloaded once. A link to Seb's site is treated as dynamic content and will be retrieved each time.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 3:45 pm

Yes @davidBAM That is a big part of the saving. I had hoped to get off this rig and update this and the HTTPS cert over a reliable connection, but yet another change in quarantine rules etc. means I am stuck onboard here. I'll just have to give it a go and hope for the best. Wish me luck and apologies in advance if this doesn't work.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Jun 20, 2021 4:31 pm

OK guys, think I have updated all the sigs that are cached. If I've missed anyone then please let me know and I'll sort it out.

Everybody's signature has changed, provided it contains WCG badges.

Some changes with PrimeGrid, NFS, SRBase and Yoyo, mostly. And an extra row with Rake search.

My signature is not showing because , I forgot how to set it up show in my posts. There is no urgency for me to fix this as I changed my name and password in all projects and BoincStats from Cruncher Pete. After a few days of crunching all projects with all machines, the CPID have not changed and even in BoincStats it still shows Cruncher Pete when I log in a McShane of TSBT. Besides what is showing there is all over the place and some shows project teams that I have not crunched for years. Not a problem. As it said in another forum, I am no longer interested in personal glory and am crunching for the Team only.
