I think Chris is alleviating the CPU and database load... I didn't like it too. I see dumb people

I didn't like the change at first but I think the speed increase on loading articles will be worth it. I guess it come to how often people look at the comments vs how often do they just want to download the code. Michael Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round -- Queen

I don't like it either. To stisfy both sides, IMO this would be a nice option for the personal preferences ? Default is off, but those who like it can switch it on. Just my 2c -Chris

I miss that too :(( I use 33.6kbps dial-up connection at home, and it was easier to open the articles in separate IE windows, disconnect (every second costs money here) and then read the articles along with the comments. But anyway, it seems I'll have to get used to it :| Rado

I think that it is an excellent way to save bandwidth. It might be nice to have an extra comment that indicates if there are any messages that are new in the comments, but otherwise I like it!

I too really hate it, but if it saves bandwidth and makes CP a faster place, who am I to complain in the end? I would strongly like an option in my personal settings that lets me turn *on* all article discussion boards by default, rather than having to go through a seperate page-load-click-load procedure, if that's possible, as I have yet to read an article without wanting to read any comments posted under it at the same time and that extra twenty seconds as the forum page loads has gotten annoying very quickly, almost like my sentances that have no periods in them. Could it happen?

as I have yet to read an article without wanting to read any comments posted under it at the same time Yes, in fact I often read the comments first to see if the rest of the article is worthwhile! I find this change annoying. I wonder how much it improves bandwidth though. an option in my personal settings that lets me turn *on* all article discussion boards Yes! Marc Help!

what is this change you guys are talking about? My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

This change was discussed in the Suggestions forum but after sleeping on it I've decided to pull it. It was speeding up page loads by about 30% but I'm sure we can find other means to improve performance without sacrificing usability. Thanks for the comments guys - I appreciate the feedback. cheers, Chris Maunder

Oh, thanks for asking. Currently we found no partner and doing it for ourself so far. You know, to find a TRUSTWORTHY partner is really really difficulty.

I see all the comments directly as I used to. Has that something to do with me being a "supporter" My article on a reference-counted smart pointer that supports polymorphic objects and raw pointers

Yes, we can, I have a suggestion: Using XML on the server and some smart scripting on the client, in the Dynamic view, you can pull ONLY the headers to form the forum tree. Then, when you click on a message, the script downloads only that message from the server. This will reduce a lot the bandwidth. Most people don't read all the messages on the page, but they DO want to see all the headers. You could even come with a 100~150 messages per page with this scheme, to speed up things even more.
