A little while back, the thread Your last generator Maintenance Run rolled over 1M views.

Just curious about View Counter resolution..... as it sits now, what is the next "tick" (1.1M or 2M) ?

Regards, Dave.

I'm not.... sure

But it's already at 1,129,270 views so I'm guessing something higher than 1.1m.

LOL .... I kinda hated to bring up this "problem", as it's not anything close to one :).

For Things Needing Tending To on a site of this scale, it surely is way down the list !

Before posting, I had a quick look to see if there was a View Counter showing >1M , but didn't see any. Thanks for letting me know it is still clocking along elsewhere in the system.

AND, Thanks to you and your team for the ongoing site maintenance that has helped build TBN to where it is ! That ^, and the knowledgeable folks that hang their keyboards here, is what has kept me here A While Now....

Regards, Dave.

One of the regulars pm'd me tonight, as this thread is not visible at all.

Did we break the server ?

If the regular has accidently or on purpose put the OP of a thread on their ignore list, the thread will not be visible to them, no matter the number of people that have posted to it.

Roger that. As another test, I searched TBN just now for the title; nope.

I wasn't clear in my earlier post.... The Entire Thread has disappeared; I can't see it myself. I've posted here, and last night, sent a separate email to TBN, but so far haven't heard anything.

Really strange, as this was a big thread that had been running well over a decade, with zero interventions by Mods. (Edit - I am the OP of the thread in question).

Regards, Dave.

I have a member blocked. Will not go into details. He created a thread, but in the thread someone did the @-symbol to notify me to give valuable feedback on the topic. It showed up in my alerts only. I picked it and got in. Yet, I couldn't see the thread title in the section due to the OP on my ignore list.

Thank for the linky. It works getting there. Yeah, I didn't see this moved to the Front Porch.

And once I followed the link, to my surprise, GRS posted some details of the GENMON app.
Very valuable !

Not sure if it has always been in the Front Porch but it is there now. See if the link takes you to it at least.

Interesting. About 2.5 hours ago (as posted ^) I used the TBN magnifying glass to search for the thread title, and nothing turned up at all. Sat down with coffee just now, caught this update here, and found the link restored (w/o me doing anything) to My Home.

As there is a ton of useful info in that thread, I'm really glad it's back, but I'm still curious about what went on. This Gen thread had been sitting in Oil, Fuel & Lubricants since it started in 2013. Not arguing category, though I think Front Porch used to have some restrictions about use (short-timers ?).... thinking about the guy/gal with only 5 posts, with a dead-generator needing revival....

Again, I'm just glad it's back.

Rgds, D.
