I've been asked a few times now about how often usericons on the new dAmnIT page are refreshed. The system I'm currently using to cache the usericons will only refresh an icon if:

1) A quote submitted by that user or containing the usericon of that user is viewed;

and

2) It has been 24 hours since the last time that user's icon was cached.


You can view an active dump of the currently cached usericons here, which gives the username, the URL to their usericon, and how many seconds it's been since the last update. For those wondering, there's 86400 seconds in a day, so if the number on the far right is equal or greater than 86400 and you view a quote by X user or containing the usericon of X user, it will update the usericon to the latest one provided by dA.


As far as other features for the dAmnIT replacement go, there are two things on my list right now that've been requested: reporting quotes that people believe shouldn't be there, and allowing non-dA members to view hotlinked quotes. For both of those, it'd help me a lot if you would comment here if you want either of those features. If more people seem to want them added, I'll go ahead and add them. For other feature requests, you can ask here. Just explain what you want and how you'd like it to work and it'll go into great consideration.

What? Why would you not allow hotlinking?
