Is it just me or are the forums loading _very_ slowly now? I have a new version installed on my dev server (it is way quicker, I think)but wanted tohold ituntil the rest of the site is finished. But now it takes extremely long for me to get the pages up...

Could be that I'm sitting in Norway. Do you guys get good response times? Are the forums loading fast or slow?

No sweat...in the ideal world there would be 25 hours every day. No wait, they have that on Mars! So is Mars the ideal world?

Anyways...if others have any comments on the speed of the forums, please let me know!

Yeah, I think the lines over from Europe are the bottlenecks here. People over in the states never complain (the server is in Arizona).

The forums are quite slow, I'm in Canada and I use Mozilla Firefox. It seems it's taking forever to load a page.

Do you get the header graphics first and then you have to wait I while? That's what happens to me.

However, in Mozilla and Opera the pages load instantly.

Actually, this is what happens: I mouse over to a link, like a forum topic, and it would take a few seconds before it gets "highlighted". Then after a page has loaded, and I scroll down, I have to wait a few seconds before anything happens. I'm using Mozilla Firefox, what browser do you use?

Huh. That's strange. I use IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera (because I need to make sure everything works).

I never experienced that...sounds like you got spyware or something. Does it happen in other places at Hypography.com? Could you check out the different sections (news, links etc) and see if it happens there too?

RE: S l o w forums?

most times speed is ok, but once in a while it gets a little sloppy.
I do have another question: Can you make the pop-ups in which a reply is typed a requested pop-up?
Every time i write a reply now i have to turn off my pop-up blocker.... (and yes i'm lazy)

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
