request: show more than last 3 eaten messages

[jdjdjd]

The advanced mode page shows the last three eaten messages. Is there any chance of increasing that number? I did see the comment further down on the page explaining the load that this places on the system, but I thought I'd ask just in case things had changed since that was written.

Thanks...

Alas, if anything, things have gotten tighter since we have more users... I don't think we can easily increase that.

We could only cram three messages' worth of information into the maximum size fixed width field in the database. Early on, we tried a variable width data type (like a LOB), that would allow for an essentially arbitrary number of messages to be tracked, but the overhead of dealing with that datatype -even with just 3 messages- tanked the server with far fewer users than it has today (and the effect was far worse than the DDOS we've seen recently).

Ok, thanks for the explanations.
