edlib Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 OK... back on subject (kinda...) A little experimentation on my part has proven thet the new version of the forum runs far better and far faster in Firefox than IE. (Part of me wonders if this was by design... ) I never belived this was the case on the older version, and as a result this was always one of the few places on the web I almost always came to using IE. From now on I'll only use Firefox to visit here. If anyone still complains about the speed of the forums, be sure to ask them which browser they are using.

Thrik Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Tee, it wasn't intentional. The slowdown in IE is caused by the javascript we have in place to fix the bugs with PNG images that Microsoft haven't bothered to do themselves yet. IE is the only browser which cannot support the smooth blending shadows and such that PNG images allow, hence it being the only that has to have the slow javascript. The plan is to get a better optimized workaround for the PNG issue, since IE won't be supporting them properly until version 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Ahh... I see. Sorta. But knowing it's a fault in IE does make a whole lotta sense. Still... it has taken me one more step towards closer to abandoning IE altogether (with the possible exception of viewing MS websites and Windows Updates.) Which can't be a bad thing.

Joshi Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I disposed of IE ages ago (if it wasn't for that fact that i need Updates, Microsoft websites every now and then and the fact that it's completely integrates into XP, I'd uninstall it), it's firefox all the way for me. I didn't realise these forums were slightly slowing in Firefox (and faster now, seems about the same to me since the new forums have been faster). But hell, it's all good.

edlib Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Yeah, it's all I use at work, since I'm forced into using Macs there, and I really don't like Safari, and IE for Mac hasn't been updated in decades it seems... and it was never all that good to begin with. The old forum version seemed to draw a bit better for me in IE,.. or maybe it's just what I was accustomed to. There's still a few places I go to often that I will be forced to use IE. (I belong to a couple of MSN groups where none of the formatting options for posting work with Firefox. Go figure. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjølen Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Pfft to those of you who have inflated your avatars to elephant-size. Think of those poor fops on modems, people. And those poor fops who don't enjoy being eye-raped by giant avatars. It's not the visual size that matters to modem people, it's the file size. And mine is under 5KB, so nya.

Alien426 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hey everybody. Look at my avatar! Are you watching? Are you watching yet? Look it's animated.

edlib Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Please. Don't. Please don't turn this thread into yet another "My OS can beat up your OS!" online virtual pissing contest. The web already has well enough of those. Why does it seem to me sometimes that 75% of the web content that isn't devoted to porn is taken up by Mac, Windows, and Linux devotees going at each throats in a way that would make the most radical extremists of each of the world's major religions stop what they're doing and say, "Whoa! Dude! Relax! Nothing's so important to get all that worked up over! Just chill,.. OK?" [/end rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Jones Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Hey, eddie, man, chill. Noone is going to do that. Except McCoy, maybe. But that's OK. We could beat him up then. On a side note, the good thing is one can use any of the mentioned OSs to watch porn. Although, you should use the proper player. You know, with functions like trackmarks, slow-motion, zoom. So let's fight for who's got the player most suitable for porn instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Sorry... just a major pet peeve of mine. (Plus, I was partially joking too...) I've seen a lot of threads lately go that route, around here in in other places, and it bugs me. I just don't think I could take another one. I use and like all 3 OSes for different reasons.

Jake Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Okay new header image is up (you may need to clear your browser cache to see it), except I screwed it up a bit and the loop is slightly off for those of you with large screens. I had marked off the loop points as a layer but didnt ever crop the image. Anyway that will be fixed tomorrow night, but for now, there you go. ... or I fixed it now.
