I have been trying for hours to find what two users who recently uploaded files have contributed. Frustrated by timeouts in Konqueror, I tried Lynx and got the following:
Nupedia logo by milodesign.com home | search | newest | join the effort | member area | about Nupedia
Sorry! 404 error! Probably, you should log in!
The page you clicked on or typed in is not (currently) available.
Why? Various possible reasons: * If you encountered this message while trying to get to or navigate the member area, then probably, you are not logged in--so please log in! E.g., you might be an editor and trying to do something that only editors can do. Then definitely you should log in. * It is possible that you are logged in, but you do not have permission to see the URL your browser is pointing to. If you believe this is in error, we'd like to know about it: comments@nupedia.com. * It is possible that we simply don't have the page on file. This is always embarrassing, and we'd like to know about it: comments@nupedia.com.
Whatever the problem, we sure hope it's fixed soon. We aim to please, but we are overworked!
Please hit the "back" button on your web browser, or choose a link from those listed above.
The command was: time lynx http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/special:contributions%5C&theuser=Hellspawn and it took about 10 minutes. The other user is Malkav.
Can you add an index on the contributor user ID in the table that logs who contributed what? That should speed up the join in the database lookup.
