    @ grootblousmile:
    Morning morning how’s it going in Brakpan, hopefully a bit drier for you guys? GBS I don’t see the recent comments on the side is it a setting I need to change with my browser?

    in peak periods, GBS incorporates loadshedding on the site 😛

    Hellloooooooooo

    The “Recent Comments” is something I disable when I want the site to have a bit more speed. The Plugin has to search for (querie) ALL Comments to list them… so it unavoidably increases load times.

    Game On!

    Kick-off by the Landers!

    @ grootblousmile:
    GBS ek is bietjie dwaas, maar hoe werk die wordpress “template” is daar grooter opsies (ek weet nie om dit te stel nie) of hang dit af van die webhost?

    Force 7 / 0 Highlanders

  • 13

    Hierdie Force span moet bogger off
    Picked them against the Brumbies only to be severely let down, went against them against the Rebels, only to be let down again
    Now again went against them and they want to be funny and score unwelcome tries

  • 14

    Sias is the man! Sorely missed by Cheetahs this morning, Heyneke should take him to WC 2015 as a utility back, imho.

    No, picked the Highlanders, picked the Force when they played against the Brumbies and picked the Rebels last week
    Seems like they are my bogey side, if I want them to win, they lose, if I want them to lose, they win

    8 @ MacroBull:
    WordPress is ‘n baie goeie platform om mee te werk, maar soos enige van die blogging platforms, werk dit hand aan hand met ‘n Database (SQL in hierdie geval), om jou comments en artikels te stoor en te orden.

    Web Hosts het verskillende pakkette… ons is reeds so 4 of 5 trappe op na ‘n besigheidspakket, maar ons deel steeds op ‘n Shared Server saam met kloooomp ander Domains by die web hosts, om die koste binne perke te hou.

    Ons is nou al bitter naby daai grens waar ons sal MOET oorskuiwe na ons eie Dedicated Server by die web host (in welke geval net ons en geen ander Domain gehuisves word nie), maar mens praat dan van ongeveer R 2 000.00 per maand se hosting koste… wat uit MY PERSOONLIKE sak sal moet kom.

    Daar is baie faktore wat mens moet oorweeg wanneer jy web hosts kies…. koste, bandwydte, CPU Throttling, Added Extras, Ability to get stats, an own Control Panel, Usage and Allowed storage size, Amount of E-Mail Addresses and Domains allowed, reliability and Uptime…. ensovoorts…
