v3 Annoyances
v3 Annoyances
I'm must be getting old.
1. Is is just me, or does anyone else dislike having to go to navigate to a new page every 10 posts? Is there any way to set this to something higher? Having to page back and forth is way too slow. I'd rather scroll.
2. Why isn't breadcrumb navigation turned on when viewing the Topics List in the sub-forum? Navigating from the Sub-Forum back to the Main Forum is a pain without it. The breadcrumb navigation is turned on when you read individual posts/threads, just not in the Topics List.
3. Marking multiple private messages for deletion and pressing delete often times doesn't work. I usually have to do it twice.
4. Speed, speed, speed. Or the lack of it.
5. Smiley's--can we get the old ones back? There was a lot more of them than the meager selections in v3.
6. Can the post editor include a text color selector? Styles seem to also change the font and font size. Would rather just change the text color.
everything in your post has already been discussed in this forum. feel free to comment in the appropriate threads. i believe #2 is something of a twist from what has been discussed so far.
there is also a sticky at the top of this page explaining how to report problems.
Firs, WAM You are my hero.
That being said, everything that wam said is correct. Most of this is already being discussed. In fact you should see a large improvement to breadcrumbs over the coarse of the new few days. I'm actively working to rebuild them now in order to get them in a more logical order.
As for speed, I must say I'm quite baffled by that one. The site is loading pages in milliseconds for most page requests and should be about 60% faster then V2. Alexa ratings system has our site labled as:
Fast (1.181 Seconds), 61% of sites are slower.
Before we had a rating of slow with speeds of up to 5 seconds. I'm not sure we can make it any faster at this point.
As for the thread count issue, it is actively being discussed. One thing to keep in mind is that while loading a new page is a pain, the more content we put on a page at once the longer the load times are for that page. I'll be raising the limits in the future while we work on building out a settings ability.
P.S. Colors for text is now availible. More smiles will be added in the future, its just far on the list of things to fix.
Thanx for the update Doodi.
I'm still a bit concerned about the speed issue. How slow is it for you? Is it during a certain time of day?
I can only assume so. 20 sec is downright horrible and should point to a serious issue on at least one of our ends. In my latest personal tests I load forum pages in about 2 to 4 seconds which should be average based on the amount of information on the page.
LMAO
for me, it's faster than Mexican water through a first time tourist.
really fast for me
I think some ads (especially Flash or Shockwave) is getting script-blocked and/or XSS blocked, and that delays the rendering of the rest of the page. Often times, I have to "reload" the page to get the formatting correct. When the formatting fails, the "Rich Text" comments box displays like a disabled Rich-Text box. Page reload takes care of it.
you can always put 2o2p in as an except for your ad blocker... considering that helps the site
I do have the ads unblocked at home, but here at work, some of them have been NSFW. :(
Any ads that are not safe for work should be reported. The ad network is google and that is against their TOS.
do you use the same browser at both locations?
