There have been a ton of problems which you seen to have resolved but we still have the pending credits turned off "Temporarly". What is the intention about turning this back on, or did this just slip everyone's mind? I would not think that the feature would load the servers, all that much. Maybe I'm wrong.

It was deactivated because it loaded the servers too much.

Problem is it is/was a near real time stat. That put alot of load o nthe servers, so they took it down. There was a whole lot of discussion awhile abck on ideas, such as once every 24 hours doing a data dump to a second machine and then that was decided as being too much of a load, so it was discussed that you had to signup and only those accounts for people that signed up would be moved over, etc, etc ,etc, etc. It was finally decided to wait until AFTER Classic closes and they take a look at the situation when things calm down. NO promises of EVER turning it where made however!
