Web analytics, I've heard of them through my company, not sure why exactly are they tracking stuff on the board but from the address it sounds like it was done by warner music group.

crazybobbles Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ha nah i recoded some of the awful stuff they gave me though to minimise the errors it throws up plus i believe kev isn't in the web analytics business but yeah, not much web marketing stuff you can do on a message board to be honest. you'll only find out who goes on the muse board and stuff like how they got there.

And seeing as how most people have the board set as their homepage it'll be even more useless I think it's just a way of gauging how popular the board is...I reckon if they think they can get away with it they'll put a subscription fee on it like on the Rammstein official board. They'd better not, the cheeky fuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 The bloody thing often stalls the board for me. I'd meant to ask what it was earlier and kept forgetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chizzleface Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hello Vel. Hello Ril Kev, is there any connection between this tracking software and the slow loading that's bugging the site at the moment? I've had pages freeze for ages whilst the tracker loads as well...

I've had pages freeze for ages whilst the tracker loads as well... the way it loads is that the page will pause while their tracking code loads which is a bit gay. i haven't experienced any slowdowns from it myself, but if it's happening i can bitch at warner to get it on a better server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostkiwibird Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have been wondering why this board stalls sometimes and takes ages to load pages It didn't used to happen. I've never heard of this type of thing before Can the programme spy on other sites you're visiting then to gather marketing data? Most intrusive. Pisses me off quite frankly.

Pisses me off quite frankly. no no it's not marketing data as such, it just enables warner to keep stats of board usage which they have across all their websites certainly doesn't affect anything else you use on your computer/internet and doesn't track any personal data. the stalls some of you guys are getting is pretty gay how regularly are they occuring?

Velouria Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hello Vel. Hello Ril. It's once or twice a day for me, and it always seems to be at busy times on the board... It actually hasn't happened in a day or so for me, but when it does it happens a couple of times an hour during busy periods. The delay when I'm on dial up at home can be ridiculous, I can do a couple of searches or whatever on Amazon while I wait for the Muse board to refresh (bear in mind I have images and sigs turned off at home too). When I'm on broadband at work it will stall for 20-30 seconds. I'll keep a record of it if it happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 christ that bad thats ridiculous i think i'll have to have words about that (annoyingly my muse contact for that stuff is away at the moment). is it just the waiting for that warner address thats in the status bar? it's not that the board is running slow is it? i wonder if i can move the code to the footer so it can only slow down once almost everything is loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it gets past that bit it springs back into life and quickly loads and displays the forum stuff. It would be handy if it could be done after the bulk of the main board stuff is loaded, but I wouldn't go too mad if it's only a handful of us who are having beef.

Velouria Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 FYI Kev, it just stalled on me while waiting for wmgmulti for about 45 seconds (dial up) while trying to load a Reply page. I had no trouble yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chizzleface Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah, it just happened to me as well, just got "transferring data from wmgmulti" for a minute...have had a couple of "server too busy" messages recently but dunno if it's connected.
