Moderator Johanna Posted September 26, 2012 Moderator Report Posted September 26, 2012 I'm doing some diagnostics and some tweaking. I'm the reason it's dragging at the moment. I'll be done in a few hours, and then all should be well. Thanks for letting me know. Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
Members Cascabel Posted September 26, 2012 Members Report Posted September 26, 2012 I don't like the "New and Improved" Leatherworker.net a bit !!!!!! Pages take far too long to load. It wasn't broke, so ya should not have tried to fix it !!! Or maybe the thinking was, "It ain't broke, so we'll fix it until it is !!!" Ya shoulda left it alone...... Quote

Moderator Art Posted September 27, 2012 Moderator Report Posted September 27, 2012 Yes, there is a "Mark Community Read" link at the bottom of the page in the Brown banner. This will give you a dropdown menu with different choices. Art PS...is there a "Mark Forums Read" button somehwere when you "View New Content"? I'm probably looking right at it without seeing it. Thanks. Quote For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
Northmount Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Is it better now? Seems fine this morning. Keep up the great work. I and many others appreciate it. CTG Quote
LNLeather Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 The one thing that never changes in this world is that "change is inevitable". My great grandfather lost his life's savings, everything: chose the wrong side in the civil war. His son in law passed on after he did a major vocational shift. Cars killed his "blacksmith" trade, so he became a farmer, but not knowing anything about them new fangled machines, he relied on horse and mule power until he died. My father was drafted for WW2 and released, his reading and writing skills were not sufficient for their needs, but were enough to get him by for 64 years. Uhhh, . . . change is here, . . . just make believe it is the front porch swing, . . . flow with it, . . . don't like going backward, . . . it'll go the other way in a few seconds, . . . you can be happy then. May God bless, Dwight Dwight, I really like the way you think... yes sirree! Go with the flow...

Members wyldflower Posted September 27, 2012 Members Report Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Ok, I'm a fuddy-duddy who dislikes change, so trying very hard to keep an open mind. The pages do seem to load more quickly - a nice plus. THANK YOU for keeping the brown/tan leather-ey look. The popular "sleek modern" look with lots of white space I find rather cold and impersonal. The warm tones help quite a lot. I'm finding the new look harder to navigate; all the typeface is in black so it is not clear what is a link, what's not. The huge popups when I inadvertently place my cursor over somebody's name or picture, is very distracting. Love to be able to turn that off. I also sure hope I can also keep private such things as how much time I'm online. Sorry to be so critical, but privacy is important to me (and I really don't want to know that much about other people, either!) It would also be very helpful to get back the icons that tell you there are pictures associated with a thread. Saves a lot of time. I realize a lot of time, effort, and dedication goes into making this site live, and want to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all you do!

Members wyldflower Posted September 27, 2012 Members Report Posted September 27, 2012 I hate to admit it, but the older I get, the less I like change. I'm trying to keep an open mind, but I really dislike the new layout and some of the new features. In particular, I find the huge popups when you cursor over someone's name (which I do by accident all the time) objectionable. I also strongly object to how much time I'm online being recorded and publicly displayed. It's nobody's business how much time I spend online on this site. I'm one who likes her privacy, and that really bothers me. So much so I won't be visiting much now until it's gone or can turn it off. As it was said before, it is the people on a forum that makes a forum what it is, and I don't believe there is a finer group of folks than what you find here on LW. One can get used to a new look, even if you don't like it much. But, as I mentioned some of the new things are objectionable enough that it may be I visit only when I need to, and not because I want to, and I'm saddened by that.

electrathon Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Is it better now? Better than yesterday but not up to speed like it was when you first did the update. A little faster than before the update. I have no readings or anything official, just what I see loading and how long it takes each time you change pages. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted September 27, 2012 Moderator Report Posted September 27, 2012 Forgot the favicon- fixed that. Shut off the "time spent" feature. Will continue to investigate speed issue. Quote You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. - Mark Twain
