Hi David,

Good catch. The order in which the css links are added to the header were indeed wrong. The one specified with the css parameter should indeed go last. This is fixed now. If you are extending the side theme then just make sure you use that as a theme, so that in your custom css you don't need to overwrite (respecify) too many things. Please let me know if that doesn't work for some reason.

I just restarted the server and the problem went away. I haven't yet dug deeper into the logs to see what may have caused it. I haven't seen a slow down like this in at least six month. But keeping it under control is not challenging. I might just restart the server automatically once a day, which is somewhat common practice. Another solution for this would be load balancers, which we'll probably put in place soon if bibbase keeps growing at the current pace.


Could you point me to the page in question so I can investigate what's happening?

Thanks for pointing this out, Chris. I believe I was able to fix it.

If this is the page in question, then I think it is much faster again: http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/user/ccole/refs.html.

If that's no the one and it is still slow, please point me to your page for testing.

Thanks.

Re. 2.: that is possible but requires a bit more work. You'd need to add a field to your bibtex, say, "pubtype" in which you then specify whether it's a journal or a conference paper. You can then group by that category by adding `&groupby=pubtype` to your bibbase url.

It's not currently possible to change the order of the initial and the last name. But a feature like that, to allow more flexibility in how references (incl. authors) are presented, is highly requested and is on our roadmap. Doing this right is a bigger task though, so we haven't gotten around to it yet.
Thanks again for reporting. This issue is fixed now.
