Battleforums is extremely slow.

[Jenny]

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?

Thank god someone else is getting that error, I use IE on one of my laptops and I get that error. Thought it was a virus or something. I don't get the error on FF though.

 

[Jenny]

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

it's all about the flash banner at the top, that thing needs to go. it sucks up too much **** loading.

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,
Donny

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

I agree. 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.

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?
