forum code bloat
-
this CP forum is without a doubt the most code bloated forum I visit I don't think it's strictly a server load issue because I watch the task-mgr-networking, and clicking buttons on the CP forum causes my 56K network connection jump to 90% until the thing finishes loading.... Is that "cool" tree control with indents for thread posts really worth it ? Or whatever is causing that network congestion I saw some earlier posts about work schedules for next year, here's a thought... Why not optimize the forum section ? There are many snappy no-bloat forums out there for examples (see www.freerepublic.com for USA right wing example) The articles are useful too, but I reallllllllly like the forums here because the poster's mostly seem to be computer geeks & wether we like it or not, we really are a bit different than other people !!! ie, the writing style is much more concise Other forums seem to be completely infested with the same type opinion posters, but here at CP the common thing is computers and the opinions are everywhere !!!!!!!!!

You might want to check out the options you have set (the bar, right above the forum). Yes, the amount of data dumped on your poor browser at 50msgs/dynamic view is huge - but you get 50 messages to read without a reload too. If you're just browsing, then threaded view may be more your thing. Or, if you tend to read just the latest few messages, maybe reduce the # per page to 25 or 10.

I'm on a modem at home and I love the fact that I can get a whole page of messages and read several, all with only one page load. I remember the time before that feature was implemented, and having one page load for every... single... post... I... wanted... to read... was unbearable. Switch your viewing mode to "Normal" and see for yourself. --Mike-- Ericahist | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber
