JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Notice LF is now sporting loading messages! I wonder who is responsible for this? (Kudos to where it is deserved) This is a neat feature... only problem is people with blazing internet connections () have hardly any time to read the messages...

Rtas Vadum Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I like it, but my connection is fast enough where i can just read at most, a few words if anything, before it loads the main forum page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I don't see any loading messages, what nonsensical prank is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I don't see any loading messages, what nonsensical prank is this? Agree. My connection is fast enough that I can't even get them now that I'm trying to. _EW_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think you can get it after you edit a comment in full edit. After you click submit, you get a loading screen that says something like "thank you for submitting your comment" and at the bottom of the box it says a quote.

Endorenna Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (shrug) I don't care one way or t'other. They go by too fast for me to read 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk102 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 This "feature" was requested awhile back, though I felt Sun Tzu was a bit more succinct here than Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy. There's currently only a 30% chance any quote will be shown on a given redirection page. I've added a slightly longer delay for those redirects that contain the messages.

Bob Lion54 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 tk, it needs more Benny Lava, especially his wonderful Barber and Ninja Movements. Also, a "UFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" would be very much welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arátoeldar Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I guess I will go against the flow of this thread. Personally I don't like it. If Iwas dial-up then I would really hate it. When I was on 56K I adblocked every signature image to lessen the load time. Even with decent broadband I still adblock all of the signature images because I don't want to waste my time/connection scrolling past them. Also if I had my way there would be no size 7 signatures.

From what I've seen, it's just text and only a few words. It shouldn't really affect anyone. And you can turn sigs off in your profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
