| Battleforums is extremely slow.
Opening any section or part of the forum is extremely slow. I can't even open multiple tabs or windows of Battleforums or sometimes even load a page without getting this:
What's up? No other place I go on my computer loads this slow or gives me this error.

I don't have this problem personally. And who the hell uses internet explorer? 
Have you tried using a different browser, just for testing purposes?

I don't get it on FF either, but it's still pretty slow.

Banner should just say Battle Forms but leave the sparkle on the B & F that rocks.

Have a look now. Is the error fixed? If not, what skin are you using?
Thank you,

The error was pretty random for me, but I haven't gotten it now.

Also, instead of using flash (which personally, I dislike), you could simply give it the *sparkle* but save it as an animated gif. You could still have a bit of animation, and get rid of the slowness/trouble of flash.

| Re: Battleforums is extremely slow.
The problem with an animated GIF is that it would load even slower, and would be bad quality. I've just sent an email to the designer who created the flash logo to have it optimized better to load faster. It's 40kb atm. I'll try to get it as low as 20kb.
Thank you,
Donny | |

Good point. I haven't worked with animations in a long time, I forgot gifs are even slower. Lawl.

Jenny, would you say you are a miserable user?
