Moderator Johanna Posted October 1, 2012 Moderator Report Posted October 1, 2012 I'm sorry you are having this problem, but I can't replicate it. Speed testing services show room for improvement, but in fractions of a second. I will continue to try to find a solution for your problem.

Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 1, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted October 1, 2012 I'm in Vista with FF, and have also tried Chrome, using DSL LITE. All pages are loading fine, much faster than before......on one of the computers. The computer I'm on right now has additional lag times, but I'm 100% sure that it's this computer. More often than not, the computer shows considerable lag time for 'on screen' commands, like scrolling a window, clicking, etc. I am typically typing blind, waiting for the words to appear. It does this with EVERY web page, including gmail, and even does it when I'm offline and in a word processor. I mention this to point out the possibility that some of the lag time experienced may be platform based instead of web page based.

Moderator Johanna Posted October 1, 2012 Moderator Report Posted October 1, 2012 I asked Kate, our highly skilled Server Administrator, to look into this also. My performance monitoring service reports the main forum page is loading in 4-7 seconds. That is faster than 33% of all the sites tested. The New Content page is loading in 3-4 seconds on average, faster than 60% of all other sites tested. Not bad, but could be better. And then she made some excellent suggestions that I will be following up on to try to get the very best performance out of our board. Thank you Kate and everyone else who is helping to transition our board into the latest and greatest! Keep the feedback coming! ~J Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members Cascabel Posted October 1, 2012 Members Report Posted October 1, 2012 A bit better now. Took 32 seconds to change pages..... Quote
Members wyldflower Posted October 2, 2012 Members Report Posted October 2, 2012 Joanna, you just plain super ROCK! My computer is an old clunker, so I expect lag and longer loading times. The faster load is quite noticeable. I'm looking forward to when you can play with colors again. I don't know if any other users are noticing eye-strain, but I am. I think it is all the white space coupled with the smaller font? I know on the main forum page, the grey text on white is hard on the eyes. Oh, and did I mention Joanna and the LW Tech Team ROCK?!

Members rosiart Posted October 9, 2012 Members Report Posted October 9, 2012 Forgot the favicon- fixed that. Shut off the "time spent" feature. Will continue to investigate speed issue. This feature seems to have returned. Quote Rosemary RosiArt's Blog
Russ Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 I, for one, like the time spent feature. And there's ways to turn it off, individually, if you don't like it. Quote
LNLeather Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 I, for one, like the time spent feature. And there's ways to turn it off How? Out of curiosity, I have looked around and can't figure that one out... Quote ~Cheryl There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those...

I never sign out... A lot of the time my computer is just on and I am out. I did look at the help files, and could not find an answer there either... I did find something about something called "My Assistant" that is (and I quote directly from the Help files) "The 'My Assistant' feature can be accessed by clicking the link of the same name in the board header. This tool provides quick links to many important areas on the board, as well as quick access to common features. My Assistant has four seperate feature tabs: Information - this tabs offers links to the overall and daily Top Ten posters, as well as your last ten posts on the board. You can also click to view the Moderation Team. New Posts - will show you a link to any new posts made since your last visit, and how long ago they were posted. Search - using this, you can search the forum basically the same way the standard search function works. This box will show you the number of results, and allow you to click to view them Recent PMs - on this tab, you can view your 5 most recent PMs and when they were received. The My Assistant is also used when a new PM arrives. If you have selected to be notified when a new PM is received, the My Assistant box will appear on your screen displaying your new PM." I was hoping My Assistant would help, but I don't find anything in the board header that says My Assistant... * Hey, no biggie - eventually we will get this all figured out... I know Johanna is workiin hard to get this all fixed up for up and is doin a Grrrrrreat job of it too!
