nanobot Posted September 17, 2014 CID Share Posted September 17, 2014 There are certain instances when I am on a certain device that I don't want any of my results saved to a database (I don't need people to have access to that information about this system), and as such it would be nice if I could mark something to inform the site to refuse to save my data to the database. Show me my results and then delete them. Otherwise I'll go back to my traditional testing method, which is downloading large files directly from Microsoft, since that's where the bulk of my download traffic goes anyway. And as for uploads I'll find something. Thanks, EBrown CA3LE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 17, 2014 CID Share Posted September 17, 2014 You can easily delete any results from the database that you choose. If you look to the right of the field in 'my results' , which is your database, there is a red X. Though I do understand how it might be more simple and quick with your idea.

nanobot Posted September 17, 2014 Author CID Share Posted September 17, 2014 I know I can delete it, that's what I've been doing lately, but I can also just as easily go download an ISO from the Microsoft site. I would much rather just be able to say "don't store historical data from this connection." Because sometimes I do several 100MB tests in a row from this connection to average them and get a better idea of it's performance, but as it stands I have to delete each one manually. It's a great pain...it's also a very unfriendly delete button, I'm RDP'd into this computer most of the time so having to wait for Javascript to do it's thing is painful as well...

mudmanc4 Posted September 17, 2014 CID Share Posted September 17, 2014 I understand where your coming from. I think it would be a great feature, i might use it myself from time to time. On another note, I rarely fail to mention the RDP security issues, setup a VPN instead. I'm sure you are aware, however it's never a mistake to mention this for others reading this in the future.

nanobot Posted September 17, 2014 Author CID Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yeah, I would setup a VPN but I use my phone to connect to it, and until I get a phone with good VPN and RDP support (I.e. Windows Phone 8.1) I'm sticking to raw, encrypted, RDP. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted September 17, 2014 CID Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm adding a global "settings" page for members. I'll make sure that option is part of the set. Also going to fix it so that you can delete more than one at a time. That's annoying when you have to delete a bunch. Great idea, thanks for sharing. I think an option something like, "Public / private / no logging" should help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 17, 2014 Author CID Share Posted September 17, 2014 Indeed. It would be quite handy. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
