As topic says. In Internet Explorer it works pretty weird: it's so slow, as if my PC's from the stone age, while it's a decent gaming computer. For example, I scroll down, and then it goes part by part very slowly. Well, it's "only" 3-5 seconds per scroll, but for an action like scrolling that seems like an enternity. Also, the entire browser is affected, including minimizing, closing etcetera.

In Firefox it works alot better, but it's noticable IE's not just the culprit, as scrolling looks kinda blocky, as if the browser's having trouble with it. Especially noticable when scrolling using the sidebar-thingie or clicking the scroll button and then moving the mouse. It seems like it's really the site, but Firefox just handles it alot better than IE does.

I don't know if this is happening because it was recently changed, but I decided to just report it ASAP just in case. This seemed like the best place in the forum.

This is the best place in the forum.

This skin we're using is very taxing to most browsers, so yes, your browser is having trouble with it.

The people who made the skin are aware of the issue and plan to release an update, but until then it's this or find a new skin.

I'll probably end up making a custom skin for it eventually, or something lighter.

Yeah, I had a quick look over the CSS. It seems a tad excessive. Will you have the option for multiple skins? If so, I would very much like to design a skin myself. ^_^

Also, the latest FireFox beta seems to have no problems with it.

Really?

I have to try the newest Firefox then!

And if you design a skin, that would be

See if that helps with your lag?

UPDATE:

Holy shit! Darthatron is right!

The new firefox beta absolutely murders this. ZERO scroll lag! I suggest everyone download it, it's blazingly fast

On FF, it's still the same, no notable difference. On IE, the site's still unusable, but the situation seems to have been improved (before, the "scroll blocks" were done in parts creating a weird effect. Now, the "scroll blocks" are done in whole, which looks more normal and speeds up scrolling), but it's still unusable (note: with scroll blocks I mean the site moving up a part from 1 scroll).

Maybe I'll try the new FF, but as for now I keep this FF. Despite not working at full speed it still works OK for this site, and for everything else I use IE anyway.

Alright. I love the beauty of the site right now and TBH, I don't want it changed.

The only reasonable fix would be to have multiple skins for different internets/PS's.

This would include Low Quality, medium quality, high quality, and can be selected in the little selector box that was here when the new forum started.

EDIT:

The Firefox beta (4) is sick, and cancels all lag. But even my Google chrome doesn't lag at all. Plus, you are using internet explorer, which is shit. If you have a low end gaming computer, you probably have the space to upgrade to a new browser.

Nah, I hate FF. It's not built for effective browsing. People say it's faster, but except for this site, IE is as fast as FF (heck, can something go faster than instantly?). Its only saving grace is the well-working ad blocker, but I gladly give that up for a browser that has everything on the right place. And don't even get me started on Chrome

@ GamerXYZ Try the FF beta we're talking about.

I have all 3 browsers on their latest versions and can honestly tell you this new FF beta trumps them for the sites I visit (youtube, fb, company websites, this site, gaming sites, etc)

Yeah, I like to test browsers. I have safari, Opera, Firefox, chrome, and IE.

And no offense, but you created a topic on how the forum lagged on IE 9, and your telling me that it is faster than chrome and firefox? :\

if you use the IE9, it's fast, trust me^^

when using the FF, it's a matter of how big(is big the right word?) is your RAM, if u have 2 GB RAM, it's fast, I've tried it^^

And it's faster if you don't save your passwords, don't use a dictionary and so on.

I like the Safari, it's fast enough, even on my good old,(broken) PC.

I have the same problem. Is there a minimalist skin available?

Also, purely esthetic, but it feels like there's too much crap going on with the calender, the links to the New Media, and all the links at the top. Would you, if enough people don't mind, move all that stuff to the main page of your site, and make the forum all the forum and nothing but forum; and possibly make an option to ignore all the "like on facebook" stuff?

I completely disagree. The links at the top are the way I get around. Going back to the homepage every time I need to get on IRC or other things seems like a HUGE waste of time.

TBH, I'm comfortable with how the site is now.

If it really bothers you, you can minimize the calendar with the button next to it. I use the links at the top, and probably a few others do, too.

FF is exelant for this site, but chrom is ass... i have this floating add that hovers over the first post and never goes away...

I would like to migrate to FF (just for this forum BTW) but I have chrome customized for everything I need and going to FF would just be time that I could have spent on FFT

We'll see how long I can hold out for...
