Over the coming days, the site may go into maintenance mode on and off. There are some backend tweaks we want to make, and it makes sense to do it at this time of year when site traffic is down a tad...

@batpred, it could be faster, but there are some things that cannot be improved at the moment unless we ripped some things apart, which I don’t have the strength to attempt. Still some minor tweaks remain.

I have been doing a lot of work on the site lately and while I keep a close eye on monthly traffic reports and analytics, for whatever reason I have never once stopped to look at the lifetime view count on the forums specifically. Just the forums, not the wider site.

I did that today, for the first time in five years.

14,668,734

Fourteen million, six hundred and sixty-eight thousand, seven hundred and thirty-four times, someone has opened a page on these forums. That works out at roughly one view every eleven seconds, around the clock, since we launched in February 2021.

And before anyone says it, that figure excludes bots entirely. These are real people and real views, not crawlers and scrapers inflating the numbers. Someone with a heating problem or a question, has been landing on these pages every eleven seconds for five years.

They found this community through a search engine at a moment when they needed help, and what you wrote gave it to them.

I find that genuinely extraordinary.

So please keep posting. Keep sharing your experiences, your COP figures, your horror stories, your wins, your settings, your questions and your answers. This information is reaching tens of thousands of people many of which never say a word but who are making real decisions based on what this community has built together.

To everyone who has ever posted here, answered a question, helped a stranger diagnose a fault at 11pm, shared their data, dissected a setup or simply taken the time to say what worked and what didn't: thank you!

Hi everyone

We've been doing a lot more work behind the scenes over the past week to speed up the site and forums.

One of the things we've tackled is email notifications. If you're subscribed to threads, we've delayed sending out notifications to improve forum post reply times.

If you're subscribed to this thread and receive an email notification about this post, could you drop a quick reply to let me know? Just a "got it" is fine... it'll help me confirm everything is working as it should.

Yes, I got it at 10:24.

But Wednesday is my "day off", so I'm only now logging in and finding it.

15,403,652 views as of a few minutes ago!

15 million

Just over five years ago the Renewable Heating Hub forums launched with a handful of members and a lot of hope. Today we've passed 15 million total views and every single one of them belongs to this community.

This isn't a corporate platform with a massive marketing budget behind it. It's simply homeowners helping homeowners and the information bank you've all contributed to is immense! 

Here's to the next 15 million.
