UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? "Registered Users" total not updating

Our "Registered User(s)" total at the bottom of the Main Index is not updating on a regular basis.

It gets stuck on a certain number (even though new registrations happen). The "Welcome to our newest member" line also gets stuck at the same time.

A couple of times the number has "jumped" to reflect the current correct number. But then will stop updating again.

Any thoughts on a fix for this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What version? If it's 6.4, there's a cache setting in the admin > config section, bottom of the page. Minimum is 15 minutes. May want to check that.

Im using 6.4.2 and its doing the same thing. I was looking for a fix but cant see on on the other sites. My settings are set to 15 minutes but it has shown this,

157 Registered User(s).
Welcome to our newest member, toxic

Actually on busy boards the 2 queries used to generate that information always took the longest and was the main cause for slowdowns on these boards as it would do a full table scan, twice. If you really want to make it less than 15 you can edit a couple files to reduce it.

Line 161 of admin/doeditconfig.php and line 680 of ubbthreads.php. Change 15 to something less.

Doh, I should know better not to include our version number... which is 6.4.2

I see the cache settings in the config. We have it set at 60 minutes. But it doesn't update every 60 minutes. Maybe a couple of times a day if we're lucky.

Hope this extra info helps someone find our problem.

Thanks!

I did what ericgtr said and set it to 5 min. it has updated perfectly since. I had 18 new regged yesterday....

When it was set to 15 minutes. it did update but the update came about 4 hours after that 15 minute mark...
